Section 4. Conversion.

 

a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, the Outstanding Value of this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into Ordinary Shares at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the portion of the Outstanding Value of this Note to be converted (the “Conversion Amount”) and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(d), the Holder shall be deemed to own the Ordinary Shares converted pursuant to this Section 4(a) upon the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Conversion. If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. On or before the 1st Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Notice of Conversion, with respect to a conversion, if the applicable Conversion Price is less than the “conversion price” specified on such Notice of Conversion, the Holder may deliver an updated Notice of Conversion to the Company correcting the Conversion Price (and the aggregate Conversion Amount) as specified in such Notice of Conversion (provided, that if such updated Notice of Conversion is not delivered to the Company on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (local time in New York, NY) on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable Conversion Date, the applicable Share Delivery Date shall be extended by one (1) Trading Day). No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire Outstanding Value of this Note has been so converted in which case the Holder shall surrender this Note as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the Company’s obligation to deliver the shares on the Share Delivery Date. The Outstanding Value of this Note will be reduced by the Conversion Amount as of the Conversion Date. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Outstanding Value converted and the date of such conversion(s). In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted Outstanding Value of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to 85% of the lowest daily VWAP during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding and including the Conversion Date (the “Conversion Price”).

 

c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount.

ii. Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder certificates or book-entry receipts representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon conversion of this Note, which shall be delivered free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions of any kind.

iii. Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice. If a Notice of Conversion delivered to the Company would result in a breach of Section 4(d) below, and the Holder does not elect in writing to withdraw, in whole, such Notice of Conversion, the Company shall hold such Notice of Conversion in abeyance until such time as such Notice of Conversion may be satisfied without violating Section 4(d) below with such calculations thereunder made as of the date such Conversion Notice was initially delivered to the Company.

 

iv. Obligation Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the Outstanding Value hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares required to be delivered hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to (1) pursue actual damages, (2) lost profit resulting from or caused by the Company’s failure to honor conversions or its repudiation of its obligation to honor conversions or (3) declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. 

 

v. Liquidated Damages; Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder Conversion Shares required to be issued pursuant to any provision of this Note by the second Trading Day following the applicable Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to two percent (2%) per day of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Conversion Shares not delivered to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Conversion Shares selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date that such Conversion Shares are delivered to the Holder or the Holder rescinds such conversion, as applicable. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in an Outstanding Value equal to the Conversion Amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200% of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note in full at the then prevailing Conversion Price. The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Section 4(c)(vi) is to ensure that Holder may effect Conversions of this Note from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and that the reservation of Ordinary Shares pursuant hereto is reasonable in light of the anticipated economic benefits expected by the Company and Holder from conversions of this Note by the Holder. The Company further understands that there are no limitations imposed by Holder on the Company’s ability to, any time, increase the number of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares and it is the sole responsibility of the Company to ensure that it has sufficient authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares to comply with its obligations hereunder, its obligations to the holders of other outstanding Convertible Securities and Options, and to take advantage of opportunities to raise capital from the sale of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents. Accordingly, there shall be no presumption that Holder’s requirement that the Company adhere to this Section 4(c)(vi) causes Holder to have any control over the Company’s ability to dispose of authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares

 

vii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

  

viii. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding.  Upon the reasonable written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. Notwithstanding any provision of the Transaction Documents to the contrary, no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Section 4(d), including this sentence, shall be effective until the 61st day after the date that such amendment, modification or waiver is executed by the Company and Holder. The Company agrees not to take any position that this Section 4(d) is not effective to limit the Holder’s “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of the Ordinary Shares as expressly provided herein.

Section 5. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Ordinary Shares on Ordinary Shares or any Ordinary Share Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of Ordinary Shares, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Intentionally Omitted.

 

c) Intentionally Omitted.

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note at the Conversion Price then in effect (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or pursuant to Section 4(a)) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction or a Change of Control Transaction at any time while this Note is outstanding.

 

11
 

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to the Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K.

ii. the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Note or in any Transaction Document, which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within the specified cure period and if not specified, the earlier to occur of 5 Trading Days after (A) notice of such failure sent by a Holder to the Company and (B) the Company has become or should have become aware of such failure;

15
 

 

ix. any Material Adverse Effect occurs;

 

x. (x) the suspension from trading or the failure of the Ordinary Shares to be listed on a Trading Market for a period of 5 consecutive Trading Days or (y) the threatened failure of the Ordinary Shares to be listed on a Trading Market if such failure is not cured 90 Trading Days prior to the deadline set by such Trading Market.

 

b) Remedies Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and until 30 Trading Days after such Event of Default is cured (the “Event of Default Redemption Right Period”), this Note shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Outstanding Value of this Note to be redeemed multiplied by (B) 120% (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”); provided that such acceleration shall be automatic, without any notice or other action of the Required Holders required, in respect of an Event of Default occurring pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 8(a). Commencing on the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the interest rate on this Note shall be the greater of 15% and the maximum amount allowed by law. Interest shall accrue daily from the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall cease upon the cure of such same and shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note (the “Note Register”). Upon the payment in full of the amount owing set forth above, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 8(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8(a)(vi), the Holder shall be entitled to an amount in cash equal to the product of the undelivered Freely Tradable Conversion Shares that should have been delivered to the Holder pursuant to the applicable Conversion Notice but for such Event of Default multiplied by the prevailing traded price of the Conversion Shares at such time.

 

c) During the Event of Default Redemption Right Period, the Holder may effect conversions in accordance with Section 4, using the Event of Default Redemption Price and at a Conversion Price equal to the lesser of (x) the Conversion Price on the applicable Conversion Date and (y) the Conversion Price one Trading Day prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default.

 

d) Notice. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) to the Holder.

d) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

17
 

 

e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Required Holders of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Required Holders to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Required Holders must be in writing.

 

f) Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

 

g) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.  The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

18
 

 

h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

i) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

j) Amendment. No provision of this Note may be modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Required Holders; provided that no such modification, supplementation or amendment unreasonably impairs the rights of the Holder under this Note.

 

k) Construction. The parties agree that each and every reference to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Conversion Shares that occur after the date hereof.

 

Section 10. Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, in the event that the Company believes that such notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall so indicate in such notice that it contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries and, simultaneously with the delivery of such notice to the Holder, the Company shall publicly disclose the contents of such notice in a Current Report on Form 6-K filed with the Commission. If the Company does not indicate to the Holder with delivery of such notice that it contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters set forth in such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

 

Section 11. Certain Tax Matters. All payments to be made by the Company under this Note (whether in cash or on Ordinary Shares) shall be made without any Tax Deduction (as defined below) unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. The Company shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Holder accordingly. If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company, the amount of the payment due from the Company under this Note shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due under this Note if no Tax Deduction had been required. If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. Within thirty 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Company shall deliver to the Holder evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Holder that the Tax Deduction has been made and that any appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority. For greater certainty, (i) this Section 11 applies to all payments, whether in the form of cash, Ordinary Shares or otherwise, made under this Note, and (ii) the Company is obligated to indemnify the Holder pursuant to this Section 11 in the event that a Tax Deduction is required in respect of any payment to be made to the Holder under this Note and the company and/or its subsidiaries fail to comply with this Section 11. For purposes of this Section 11, “Tax” means any tax, levy, impost, duty or other charge or withholding of a similar nature (including any penalty or interest payable in connection with any failure to pay or any delay in paying any of the same) and “Tax Deduction” means any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax.
