ARTICLE III
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.

Section 3.7    No Rights as Shareholder.
