2. Conversion. The outstanding principal amount owing under this Note shall be convertible into equity securities of the Company as follows:

 

(a) Optional Conversion. At any time, so long as a Fundamental Change (as defined below) has not yet occurred, at the written election of the Lender, all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be converted into that number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the outstanding principal amount of this Note by (B) one dollar and twenty five cents ($1.25) per share, as adjusted (the “Conversion Price”), provided that the Conversion Price shall not in any event, exceed one dollar and fifty five cents ($1.55) per share. The Company covenants that it shall use its reasonable efforts to cause a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to be authorized in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and reserved for issuance prior to any such conversion; provided, however, that if a sufficient number of such shares is not authorized and reserved at the time of such election, the conversion shall be delayed until the proper number of shares is authorized and reserved, with the Company then obligated to use its best efforts to cause a sufficient number of shares to be authorized and reserved as soon as practicable.

 

(b) Mandatory Conversion. Upon the occurrence of any of the following, the Company shall, subject to applicable law, have the right at its sole option, to cause all or a portion of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note to be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock on notice to the holder of this Note, at the then existing Conversion Price:

(i) At any time after ninety (90) days from the original date of this Note, if the closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock on the public market equals or exceeds one dollar and fifty five cents ($1.55) for at least twenty (20) trading days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the day on which the Company notifies the holder of this Note.

 

(ii) In the event of a Fundamental Change prior to the conversion or full repayment of this Note, the Company shall have the right on notice to the holder of this Note, to convert the principal amount into shares of Common Stock at the then existing Conversion Price. The Company shall give the Lender written notice of the Fundamental Change at least ten (10) days prior to the consummation thereof. For purposes hereof, a "Fundamental Change" shall mean any one of the following: (a) the sale by the Company's stockholders of 50% or more of the Company's voting capital stock outstanding in any transaction or series of related transactions; (b) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company in any transaction or series of related transactions, unless in any such case all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Company's capital stock immediately prior thereto beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or resulting corporation (or if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation); (c) the complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (d) the consummation of a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party; provided that in no event shall a Fundamental Change be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of (x) a sale by the Company of equity securities in transactions the primary purpose of which is to raise capital for the Company's operations and activities, including without limitation a public offering or (y) any reduction (other than a transaction described in clause (a) above) in ownership of the Company's outstanding Common Stock or voting securities by stockholders of the Company as of the date of this Note (or their affiliates).

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. In connection with such conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2(a) or (b), the Lender shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty, at the principal office of the Company. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Lender at such principal office a certificate or certificates for the Common Stock (bearing such legends as may be required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company), together with a check payable to the Lender for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 2(d) below, plus all accrued but unpaid interest to such date and all other amounts owing hereunder.

 

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Lender upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Lender an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price applied to effect such conversion by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this Note, the Company shall be released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

3. Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the written election of the Lender (except as provided below), the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon and all amounts owing hereunder shall be immediately due and payable and the Lender shall have all legal and equitable rights of holders of unsecured debt instruments, whether at law, in equity or under this Note (provided that such principal, interest and other amounts shall become immediately due and payable if an Event of Default listed in clause (ii) below shall occur).
