SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GUIDED
THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter called the "Borrower") (Trading Symbol:
GTHP), hereby promises to pay to the order of AUCTUS FUND, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company,
or registered assigns (the "Holder") the sum of US$700,000.00
together with any interest as set forth herein, on December
17,2021
(the "Maturity Date"), and to pay
interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate often
percent (10%) (the "Interest Rate") per annum from the date hereof
(the "Issue Date") until the same becomes due and payable, whether
at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise.
This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as
otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or
interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear
interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) twenty-four
percent (24%) per annum
and (ii) the maximum amount
permitted under law from the due date thereof until the same is
paid (the "Default Interest"). Interest shall commence accruing on
the date that the Note is funded by the Holder and shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of
days elapsed. All
payments due hereunder (to the extent
not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
"Common Stock") in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made
in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall
be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the
Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions
of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms
of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the
same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a
business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is
not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of
the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes
of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in
this Note, the term "business day" shall mean any day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of
New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive
order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not
otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that
certain securities purchase agreement dated the date hereof;
pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the "Purchase
Agreement'').
This
Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with
respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive
rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and

below) of the Borrower as provided for herein. The obligations of
the Borrower under this Note are secured pursuant to the terms of
the security agreement of even date (the "Security Agreement) by
and among the Borrower and Holder, and such security interest
includes but is not limited to all of the assets of the Borrower
and its subsidiaries (including but not limited to Interscan,
Inc.). So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this
Note, except with respect to Permitted Indebtedness and Permitted
Liens, the Borrower shall not (directly or indirectly through any
subsidiary or affiliate) incur or suffer to exist or guarantee any
Indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with (in priority of
payment and performance) the Borrower's obligations hereunder.
"Indebtedness" shall mean (a) all indebtedness of the Borrower for
borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or
services, including any type of letters of credit, but not
including deferred purchase price obligations in place as of the
Issue Date or obligations to trade creditors incurred in the
ordinary course of business, (b) all obligations of the Borrower
evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar instruments,
(c) purchase money indebtedness hereafter incurred by the Borrower
to finance the purchase of fixed or capital assets, including all
capital lease obligations of the Borrower which do not exceed the
purchase price of the assets funded, (d) all guarantee obligations
of the Borrower in respect of obligations of the kind referred to
in clauses (a) through
(c)
above that the Borrower would not be permitted to incur or enter
into, and ( e) all obligations of the kind referred to in clauses
(a) through (d) above that the Borrower is not permitted to incur
or enter into that are secured and/ or unsecured by (or for which
the holder of such obligation has an existing right, contingent or
otherwise, to be secured and/ or unsecured by) any lien or
encumbrance on property (including accounts and contract rights)
owned by the Borrower, whether or not the Borrower has assumed or
become liable for the payment of such obligation. "Permitted
Indebtedness" means (a) the indebtedness evidenced by any
convertible notes issued by the Borrower to the Holder (the
"Notes"), (b) lease obligations and purchase money indebtedness
incurred in .connection with the acquisition of capital assets and
lease obligations with respect to newly acquired or leased assets,
(c) indebtedness that is expressly subordinate to the Notes
pursuant to a written subordination agreement with the Holder that
is acceptable to each Holder in its sole and absolute discretion
and (d) indebtedness pursuant to which the proceeds thereof are
first used to repay the Notes in the entirety within one (1)
business day of the closing of the respective transaction.
"Permitted Lien" means the individual and collective reference to
the following: (a) liens for taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges or levies not yet due or liens for taxes,
assessments and other governmental charges or levies being
contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings for which
adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the management of
the Company) have been established in accordance with GAAP, (b)
liens imposed by law which were incurred in the ordinary course of
the Company's business, such as carriers', warehousemen's and
mechanics' liens, statutory landlords' Liens, and other similar
Liens arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business, and
which (x) do not individually or in the aggregate materially
detract from the value of such property or assets or materially
impair the use thereof in the operation of the business of the
Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries or (y) are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, which
proceedings have the effect of preventing for the foreseeable
future the forfeiture or sale of the property or asset subject to
such lien, ( c) Liens incurred in connection with Permitted
Indebteduess under clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) thereunder, and
(d) Liens incurred in connection with Permitted Indebtedness under
clause ( c) thereunder, provided that such Liens are not secured by
assets ofthe Company or its Subsidiaries other than the assets so
acquired or leased.
The
following terms shall also apply to this Note:
ARTICLE
I. CONVERSION RlGHTS
1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the
right from time to time, and at any time following the Issue Date,
and ending on the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date
of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III)
pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article
III, each in respect of the
remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all
or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest,
penalties, and all other amounts under this Note into fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock
exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other
securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall
hereafter be changed or reclassified at the Conversion Price (as
defined below) determined as provided herein (a "Conversion");
provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to
convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this
Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates
(other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially
owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes
or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of
the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of
this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by
the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitations").
For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as
otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this
Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as
defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on
the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Notice of Conversion"),
delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section
1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by
facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably
expected to result in, notice) to
the Borrower before 11:59 p.m., New
York, New York time on such conversion date (the "Conversion
Date"). The term "Conversion Amount" means, with respect to any
conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of
this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the
Holder's option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such
principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the
Conversion Date, provided however, that the Borrower shall have the
right to
pay any or all interest in cash plus
(3) at the Holder's option, Default Interest, if any, on the
amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or
(2) plus (4) at the Holder's option, any amounts owed to the Holder
pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.
1.2
Conversion Price.
Calculation of Conversion Price. Subject to the
adjustments described herein, the conversion price (the "Conversion
Price") shall equal the lesser of: (i) the lowest Trading Price (as
defined below) on the Issue Date, and (ii) the Variable Conversion
Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for
stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower
relating to the Borrower's securities or the securities Of any
subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization,
reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).
The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 95% multiplied by the
Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of
5%), minus $0.04 per share, provided, however, that in no event
shall the Variable Conversion Price be less than $0.15 (the "Floor
Price") (subject to equitable adjustment as set forth above) except
as provided in this Note. If (i) an Event of Default (as defined in
this Note) under this Note occurs and/ or (ii) the Note is not
extinguished in its entirety prior to December 17, 2020, the Floor
Price shall no longer apply. "Market Price" means the average of
the five (5) lowest Trading Prices (as defined below) for the
Common Stock during the period beginning on the Issue Date and
ending on the Maturity Date. "Trading Price" means, for any
security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTC Pink,
OTCQB or applicable trading market as reported by a Reporting
Service designated by the Holder-or, if the OTC Pink is not the
principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price
of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading
market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing
bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing
manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers
for such security that are listed in the "pink sheets" by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc. To the extent the Conversion Price
of the Borrower's Common Stock closes below the par value per
share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit
theĀ· consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to
the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor
all conversions submitted pending this adjustment. If the shares of
the Borrower's Common Stock have not been delivered within three
(3) business days to the Borrower, the Notice of Conversion may be
rescinded. At any time after the Closing Date, if in the case that
the Borrower's Common Stock is not deliverable by DWAC (including
if the Borrower's transfer agent has a policy prohibiting or
limiting delivery of shares of the Borrower's Common Stock
specified in a Notice of Conversion), an additional 10% discount
will apply for all future conversions under all Notes. If in the
case that the Borrower's Common Stock is "chilled" for deposit into
the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, an
additional 15% discount shall apply for all future conversions
under all Notes while the "chill" is in effect. If in the case of
both of the above, an additional cumulative 25% discount shall
apply. Additionally, if the Borrower ceases to
be a reporting company pursuant to the
1934 Act or if the Note cannot be converted into free trading
shares after one hundred eighty-one (181) days from the Issue Date,
an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion
Price. If
the Trading Price cannot be calculated
for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the
Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined
by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the
Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading
Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of
such Notes. "Trading Day" shall mean any day on which the Common
Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC Pink, OTCQB or on the
principal securities exchange or other securities market on which
the Common Stock is then being traded. The Borrower shall be
responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees
associated with any such issuance. Holder shall be entitled to
deduct $500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of
Conversion to cover Holder's deposit fees associated with each
Notice of Conversion.
While this Note is outstanding, each time any
3rd
party has the right to convert monies
owed to that 3rd party
(or receive shares pursuant to a settlement or otherwise),
including but not limited to under Section 3(a)(9) and Section
3(a)(1O), at a discount to market greater than the Conversion Price
in effect at that time (prior to all other applicable adjustments
in the Note), then the H1older, in Holder's sole discretion, may
utilize such greater discount percentage (prior to all applicable
adjustments in this Note) until this Note is no longer outstanding.
While this Note is outstanding, each time any 3rd party has a look
back period greater than the look back period in effect under the
Note at that time, including but not limited to under Section
3(a)(9) and Section 3(a)(10), then the Holder, in Holder's sole
discretion, may utilize such greater number of look back days until
this Note is no longer outstanding. The Borrower shall give written
notice to the Holder within one (1) business day of becoming aware
of any event that could permit the Holder to make any adjustment
described in the two immediately preceding
sentences.
(a)
Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding
anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event
the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to
consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a
merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing
corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer
all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any
person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces
a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower's Common
Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement
referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the
"Announcement Date"), then the Conversion Price shall, effective
upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted
Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to
the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been
applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and
(y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From
and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the
Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section
1.2(a). For purposes hereof, "Adjusted Conversion Price Termination
Date" shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or
tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement
as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon
which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person,
group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or
publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed
transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this
Section 1.2(b) to become operative.
(b) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes.
In
the event of a dispute as to the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in
connection with a conversion of this Note,
the Borrower shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance
with Section 4.13.
(c)
If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any
conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock,
then the Conversion Price hereunder shall equal such par value for
such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion shall
be increased to include Additional Principal, where "Additional
Principal" means such additional amount to be added to the
Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of
conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same
number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the
Conversion Price not been subject to the minimum price set forth in
this Section 1.2( c).
1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that
during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient
number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the
issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required
at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number
of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the
Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from
time to time without regard to the Floor Price) (the "Reserved
Amount"). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time
in accordance with the Borrower's obligations pursuant to Section
3(d) of the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower represents that upon
issuance, such shares will be du1y and validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable. In
addition, if the Borrower shall issue
any securities or make any change to its capital structure which
would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price,
the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that
thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for
conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges
that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue
certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note, and (ii)
agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full
authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty
of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial
Reserved Amount, regardless of any prior conversions.
If,
at any time the Borrower does not maintain or replenish the
Reserved Amount within three (3) business days of the request of
the Holder, the principal amount of the Note shall increase by Five
Thousand and No/IOO United States Dollars ($5,000) (under Holder's
and Borrower's expectation that any principal amount increase will
tack back to the Issue Date) per occurrence.
1.4
Method of Conversion.
(a)
Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be
converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time
to time after the Issue Date, by (A)
submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile,
e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the
Conversion Date prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time) and
(B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the
principal office of the Borrower.
(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon
conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to
the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records
showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such
conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical
surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.
In
the event of any dispute or
discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall,
prima
facie, be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid,
the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first
physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the
Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the
Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon
payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid
principal amount of this Note. 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 principal amount of this
Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on
the face hereof.
(c) Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common
Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in
a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the
Borrower shall not be required to
issue or deliver any such shares or
other securities or property unless and until the person or persons
(other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such
shares are to be held for the Holder's account) requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any
such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Borrower that such tax has been paid.
(d)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the
Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or
other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion
meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section
1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and
delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3)
business days after such receipt (the "Deadline") (and, solely in
the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount
hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof
and the Purchase Agreement.
(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common
Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the
Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal
amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note
shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the
Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all
rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted
shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common
Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein
provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a
Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower's obligation
to issue and deliver the certificates for Common' Stock shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any
action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure
or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower
to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any
other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of
the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The
Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the
Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by
the Borrower before 11:59
p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.
(f) Deliverv of Common Stock by Electronic
Transfer. In
lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer
("FAST") program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance
with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section
lA, the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the
account of Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal At Custodian ("DWAC") system.
(g) DTC Eligibility Market Loss. If the Borrower fails to maintain its
status as "DTC Eligible" for any reason, or, if the Conversion
Price is less than $0.05 at any time after the Issue Date, the
principal amount of the Note shall increase by Fifteen Thousand and
No/l00 United States Dollars ($15,000) and the Variable Conversion
Price shall be redefined to mean thirty percent (30%) multiplied by
the Market Price, subject to adjustment as provided in this
Note.
(h)
Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Delivery Deadline. Without
in any way limiting the Holder's right to pursue other remedies,
including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree
that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure
due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which
failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay
to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the
Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock until
the Borrower issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder or
credit the Holder's balance account with OTC for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such
Holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder's and
Borrower's expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issue
Date).. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day
of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the
option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the
first day of the month following the month in which it has
accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in
which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the
terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be
convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this
Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable
right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt
to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult
if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge
that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section
1.4(h) are justified.
(i) Rescindment of a Notice of Conversion. If (i)
the Borrower fails to respond to Holder within one (1) business day
from the Conversion Date confirming the details of Notice of
Conversion-, (ii) the Borrower fails to provide any of the shares
of the Borrower's Common Stock requested in the Notice of
Conversion within three (3) business days from the date of receipt
of the Note of Conversion, (iii) the Holder is unable to procure a
legal opinion required to have the shares of the Borrower's Common
Stock issued unrestricted and/or deposited to sell for any reason
related to the Borrower's standing, (iv) the Holder is unable to
deposit the shares of the Borrower's Common Stock requested in the
Notice of Conversion for any reason related to the Borrower's
standing, (v) at any time after a missed Deadline, at the Holder's
sole discretion, or (vi) if OTC Markets changes the Borrower's
designation to 'Limited Information' (Yield), 'No Information'
(Stop Sign), 'Caveat Emptor' (Skull &
Crossbones), 'OTC', 'Other OTC' or
'Grey Market' (Exclamation Mark Sign) or other trading restriction
on the day of or any day after the Conversion Date, the Holder
maintains the option and sole discretion to rescind the Notice of
Conversion ("Rescindment") with a "Notice of
Rescindment."
1.5
Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i)
such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent
shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion
shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares
to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an
exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or
transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor
rule) ("Rule 144") or (iv) such shares are transferred to an
"affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to
sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this
Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase
Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below),
until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or
otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction
as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can
then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so
included in an effective registration statement or that has not
been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form, as appropriate:
"NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES

1.6
Effect of Certain Events.
(a)
Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder,
the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a
transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the
consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower
with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when
the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be
an Event of Default (as defined in Article ill) pursuant to which
the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the
consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount
equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article ill) or (ii) be
treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. "Person" shall mean any
individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership,
association, trust or other entity or organization.
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation,
Etc. I~
at any time when this Note is issued
and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there
shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares,
recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a
result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be
changed into the same or a different number of shares of another
class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another
entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in
connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower,
then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to
receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the
terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such
stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been
entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been
converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without
regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in
any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to
the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that
the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares
issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any
securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion
hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in
this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent
practicable, thirty
(30) days prior written notice (but in
any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the
record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or
if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization
or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the
Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the
resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower)
assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section
1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share
exchanges.
(c)
Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or
make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its
assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase,
by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or
distribution to the Borrower's shareholders in cash or shares (or
rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a
spin-off)) (a "Distribution"), then the Holder of this Note shall
be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of
record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution,
to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable
to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares
of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
(d)
Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes
are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in
accordance with this Section 1.6( d) hereof is deemed to have
issued or sold, except for shares of Common Stock issued directly
to vendors or suppliers of the Borrower in satisfaction of amounts
owed to such vendors or suppliers (provided, however, that such
vendors or suppliers shall not have an arrangement to transfer,
sell or assign such shares of Common Stock prior to the issuance of
such shares), any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or
for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable
expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in
connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on
the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of
Common Stock (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately upon the
Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the
amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in
such Dilutive Issuance.
The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or
sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or
grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee
stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to
subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible
Securities") (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common
Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as
"Options") and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the
Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be
equal to
such price per share. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock
is issuable upon the exercise of such Options" is determined by
dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all
such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of
all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities
issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or
exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first
become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all
such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities,
if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will
be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such
Options.
Additionally,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of
Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible
(other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of
Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the
Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be
equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding
sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon such conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the
total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as
consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion
or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first
become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment
to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of
such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(e)
Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and
outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or
rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
(the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of any class
of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to
acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if
such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to
any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale
of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as
of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined
for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(f)
Notice of Adjustments. Upon the
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion
Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the
Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in
detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of
the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth
(i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at
the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock
and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at
the time would be received upon conversion of the
Note.
1.7
[Intentionally Omitted
1.8
Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by
a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if
any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed
such Holder's allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum
Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock
and (ii) the Holder's rights as a Holder of such converted portion
of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to
receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any
remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity
to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with
the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder
has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior
to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the
Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note
for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain
its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the
Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this
Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the
Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted
Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust
its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been
converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights
and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to
receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the
extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any
subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the
Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined
in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower's failure to
convert this Note.

fixed for prepayment (the "Optional Prepayment Date"), the Borrower

then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and
unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the

Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or
(x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections
1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of
this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in
clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the
"Default Sum") or (ii) at the option of the Holder, the "parity
value" of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means
(a) the highest number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum in
accordance with Article I, treating the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the "Conversion Date"
for purposes of determining the lowest applicable Conversion Price,
unless the Default Event arises as a result of a breach in respect
of a specific Conversion Date in which case such Conversion Date
shall be the Conversion Date), multiplied by (b) the highest
Trading Price for the Common Stock during the period beginning on
the date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending one
day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date (the "Default Amount")
and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become
due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of
which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs,
including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of
collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other
rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Further, if a
breach of Sections 3.9, 3.10 and/or 3.19 occurs or is continuing
after the six (6) month anniversary of this Note, then the
principal amount of the Note shall increase by Fifteen Thousand and
No/IOO United States Dollars ($15,000) and the Holder shall be
entitled to use the lowest Trading Price during the delinquency
period as a base price for the conversion with the Variable
Conversion Price shall be redefined to mean forty percent (40%)
multiplied by the Market Price, subject to adjustment as provided
in this Note. For example, of the lowest Trading Price during the
delinquency period is $0.50 per share and the conversion discount
is 50%, then the Holder may elect to convert future conversions at
$0.25 per share. If this Note is not paid at Maturity Date, then
the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by
Fifteen Thousand and No/IOO United States Dollars
($15,000).
The
Holder shall have the right at any time after an Event of Default
occurs under this Note to require the Borrower, to immediately
issue, in lieu of the Default Amount and/or Default Sum, the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default
Amount and/or Default Sum divided by the Conversion Price then in
effect, pursuant to the terms of this Note (including but not
limited to any beneficial ownership limitations contained herein).
This requirement by the Borrower shall automatically apply upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default without the need for any party to
give any notice or take any other action.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed in its
name by its duly authorized officer as of the date first above
written.
