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 (the “CONVERSION OPTION”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “CONVERSION RATE”) 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 hereinafter defined) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes prior to 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time a notice of conversion (the “CONVERSION NOTICE”), duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number) (704) 992-1291, Attn.: Terry Hanson, President) (the “CONVERSION DATE”).

 

Section 3.2 MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Not later than five (5) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker will deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier: (A) a certificate or certificates which shall carry any applicable restrictive legends and/or trading restrictions representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and (B) one or more new promissory notes representing the amount of this Note not converted. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date (the “DELIVERY DATE”), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time 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.

 

Section 3.3 ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a) ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable

Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.4(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

 

(b) ADJUSTMENTS FOR CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Maker shall at any Time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, as applicable, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

 

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

(c) ADJUSTMENT FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.4(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note and the Other Notes.

 

(d) ADJUSTMENTS FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.3), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock

 

5


 

into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

(e) ADJUSTMENTS FOR REORGANIZATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALES OF ASSETS. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Maker or a merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Maker’s properties or assets to any other person (an “ORGANIC CHANGE”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Maker or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) with respect to the rights of the holder of this Note after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) (including any adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note and the Other Notes) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.

 

(f) ADJUSTMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event the Maker, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any Additional Shares of Common Stock to a third party other than the Holder or the Other Holders for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect for the Note immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then, forthwith upon such issue or sale, the Conversion Price then in effect for the Notes shell be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Common Stock.

 

(g) ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS. If the Maker, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES”), other than this Note, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the “COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS”) and the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (f) of this Section 3.3(a).

 

(h) CONSIDERATION FOR STOCK. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:

 

(i) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration

 

6


therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or

 

(ii) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

 

Section 3.4 PREPAYMENT.

 

(a) MAKER PREPAYMENT OPTION. (a) Maker may not prepay this Note without first obtaining a written consent from the Holder. Should the prepayment not be received by the Holder within Five (5) business days of the Maker’s receipt of the written consent, the written consent shall be deemed null and void.

 

Section 3.5 INABILITY TO FULLY CONVERT.

 

(a) HOLDER’S OPTION IF MAKER CANNOT FULLY CONVERT.

(b) MECHANICS OF FULFILLING HOLDER’S ELECTION. The Maker shall immediately send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion

 

7
