(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Maker shall, as promptly as possible but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence of such Event of Default, notify the Holder of the occurrence of such Event of Default, describing the event or factual situation giving rise to the Event of Default and specifying the relevant subsections of Section 2.1 hereof under which such Event of Default has occurred.

 

(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall not have been remedied within (i) three (3) Business Days for an Event of Default occurring by the Company’s failure to comply with Section 7.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Section 3.2 of this Note, or (ii) seven (7) Business Days for all other Events of Default; provided, however, that there shall be no cure period for an Event of Default described in Section 2.1(h), or 2.1(i), the Holder may at any time at its option, subject to receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Holder, declare all or a portion of the Mandatory Default Amount due and payable, and thereupon, the same shall be accelerated and so due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and irrevocably waived by the Maker; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described above, the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion, but subject to receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Holder and only after all Class A Notes have been fully repaid or converted, may: (a) from time-to-time demand that all or a portion of the Mandatory Default Amount be converted into Ordinary Shares at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the then applicable Conversion Price and (ii) the then applicable Event of Default Discount Price.

ARTICLE 3 CONVERSION.

 

3.1 Conversion. 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 Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing (x) that portion identified by the Maker of (A) the Outstanding Principal Amount, plus (B) accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and any other amounts owing under this Note or the Transaction Documents (the “Conversion Amount”) by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a notice of conversion, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), in accordance with this Section 3.1 to the Maker. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at any 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 the date of such conversion (each, a “Conversion Date”).

 

The “Conversion Price” initially means eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest daily VWAP during ten (10) Trading Days ending on the Trading Day preceding the date of the delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice (or if ten (10) Trading Days shall not have elapsed since the Issuance Date, the lowest daily VWAP during the Trading Day period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on the Trading Day preceding the date of the delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice); provided, however, that prior to an Event of Default the Conversion Price be shall not be less than the Floor Price.

 

3.2 Delivery of Conversion Shares. As soon as practicable after any conversion or payment of any amount due hereunder in the form of Ordinary Shares in accordance with this Note, and in any event within one (1) Trading Day thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, book-entry statements evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion or payment (the “Conversion Shares”), in the applicable denominations based on the applicable conversion or payment; provided that, if the Ordinary Shares are then DWAC Eligible and such Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to (i) the third-party purchaser in the resale thereof by the Investor or (ii) by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or its designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for book- entry statements shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee, in which case such Ordinary Shares (x) shall only be used by such broker to deliver such Ordinary Shares to DTC for the purpose of settling the Holder’s share delivery obligations with respect to the sale of such Ordinary Shares, which may include delivery to other accounts of such broker and inclusion in the number of Ordinary Shares delivered by that broker in “net settling” that broker’s trading of shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, including its positions with the brokers of the respective persons who purchase such Ordinary Shares from the Holder, and (y) and (y) shall remain “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act until so delivered). In the event that the Maker fails to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.2, a liquidated damages charge of 1% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable each month while such failure remains uncured to the Holder at its election in the form of a cash payment or added to the balance of this Note.

3.3 Caps on Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares representing Equity Interests upon conversion of this Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that:

 

(a) Ownership Cap. Such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group (as defined below) to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the conversion of this Note prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following conversion of this Note is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that no liquidated damages will be assessed or become due and payable pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof with respect to any such Equity Interests not being delivered solely as a result of this limitation. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 3.3(a) apply, the determination of whether this Note is convertible and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in the notice of conversion is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3.3, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the 1934 Act, then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term “Holder Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the 1934 Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the 1934 Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 20-F or Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

3.4 Adjustments to Floor Price.

 

(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.4, the Conversion Price and Floor Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i) hereof):

 

(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) effect a split of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the applicable Floor Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. 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.

 

(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, then, and in each event, the applicable Floor 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 the applicable Floor Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

 

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

 

9

 

 

(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other Ordinary Shares, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Floor Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Floor Price or otherwise) so that the Holder of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) or other property that it would have received had this Note been converted into Ordinary Shares in full (without regard to any conversion limitations herein) 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) or assets, 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; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Floor Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Ordinary Shares at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class of shares or other property, 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 3.4(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.4(a)(viii) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Floor Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Floor Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares 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.

 

10

 

 

(v) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time while this Note is Outstanding the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3.4(a)(v) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, except for Ordinary Shares issued in an issuance of Exempted Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), any Ordinary Shares for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Floor Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such Ordinary Shares (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Floor Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

The Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold Ordinary Shares if the Company 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 Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which such Ordinary Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Floor Price then in effect, then the Floor Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which such Ordinary Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company 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 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Floor Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

Additionally, the Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold Ordinary Shares if the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than in an issuance of Exempted Securities), and the price per share for which such Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Floor Price then in effect, then the Floor Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which such Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company 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 Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Floor Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(vi) Share Combination Event Adjustment. If at any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Ordinary Shares (each, a "Share Combination Event", and such date thereof, the "Share Combination Event Date") and the Event Market Price is less than the Floor Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 3.4(a) above), then on the sixteenth (16th) Trading Day immediately following such Share Combination Event, the Floor Price then in effect on such sixteenth (16th) Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 3.4(a) above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Floor Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made.

 

(vii) Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3.4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Floor Price and the number of Conversion Shares(if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 will increase the Floor Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its rights hereunder, then the Board of Directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

 

(viii) Consideration for Stock. In case any Ordinary Shares or any Ordinary Share Equivalents shall be issued or sold:

 

(1) 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 Ordinary Shares of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker and approved by the Requisite Holder, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as such Board of Directors may determine to be attributable to such Ordinary Shares, rights or warrants or options or other Convertible Securities, as the case may be; or

 

12

 

 

(2) 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 Ordinary Shares of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation or other property, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities or other property of any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued Ordinary Shares, at a price per share equal to the valuation of the Maker’s Ordinary Shares based on the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, as applicable, and 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 Floor Price, or the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Floor Price or the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. In the event Ordinary Shares issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.4(a)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, and approved by the Requisite Holder.

 

(ix) Record Date. In case the Maker shall take record of the holders of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be such record date.

 

(b) No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to 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 the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Note as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of this Note shall have issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%)of the Principal Amount of the Note the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment.

 

(c) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Floor Price or number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.4, 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 and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Floor Price in effect at the time, and the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

 

13

 

 

(d) 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 Ordinary Shares 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.

 

(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Ordinary Shares 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 such fractional shares multiplied by the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

(f) Reservation of Ordinary Shares. The Maker shall at all times while this Note shall be outstanding, keep available out of its authorized Ordinary Shares, the Required Minimum of Ordinary Shares (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion). The Maker shall, from time to time, increase the authorized number of Ordinary Shares or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this Section 3.4(f).

 

(g) Regulatory Compliance. If any Ordinary Shares 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, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

 

(h) Effect of Events Prior to the Issuance Date. If the Issuance Date of this Note is after the Closing Date, then, if the Conversion Price, the Floor Price or any other right of the Holder of this Note would have been adjusted or modified by operation of any provision of this Note had this Note been issued on the Closing Date, such adjustment or modification shall be deemed to apply to this Note as of the Issuance Date as if this Note had been issued on the Closing Date.

 

3.5 Prepayment Following a Change of Control.

 

(a) Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder in Connection with a Change of Control. No later than fifteen (15) days following the entry by the Company into an agreement for a Change of Control, but in no event prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Maker shall deliver written notice describing the entry into such agreement (“Notice of Change of Control”) to the Holder. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control, the Requisite Holder may require the Maker to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, an amount equal to the Mandatory Default Amount on such date (the “COC Repayment Price”), by delivering written notice thereof (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control”) to the Maker.

 

14

 

 

(b) Payment of COC Repayment Price. Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control from the Holder, the Maker shall deliver the COC Repayment Price to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control; provided that the Holder’s original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker, and, provided, further that all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes.

 

3.6 Inability to Fully Convert.

 

(a) Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice or as otherwise required under this Note, including with respect to repayment of principal in Ordinary Shares as permitted under this Note, the Maker cannot issue Ordinary Shares for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker (x) does not have a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares authorized and available or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing all of the Ordinary Shares which are to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Note, then the Maker shall issue as many Ordinary Shares as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any Ordinary Shares not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:

 

(i) require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Ordinary Shares or for which Ordinary Shares were not timely issued (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) at a price equal to the number of Ordinary Shares that the Maker is unable to issue multiplied by the Conversion Price on the date of the Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”) (provided all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes); provided that an election under this clause (i) shall not be available in the event that the Maker is unable to issue Ordinary Shares solely pursuant to the caps set forth in Section 3.3 above;

 

(ii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or

 

(iii) defer issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares until such time as the Maker can legally issue such shares; provided that the Principal Amount underlying such Conversion Shares shall remain outstanding until the delivery of such Conversion Shares; and provided, further, that if the Holder elects to defer the issuance of the Conversion Shares, it may exercise its rights under either clause (i) or (ii) above at any time prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Maker.

 

15

 

 

(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Maker shall immediately send to the Holder, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice from the Holder, which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.6(a) above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy the Holder’s Conversion Notice; and (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted. The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.6(a) above by delivering written notice to the Maker (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).

 

(c) Payment of Mandatory Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Note prepaid pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert; provided that prior to the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is two (2) Business Days following the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid and (ii) receive back such Note.

 

(d) No Rights as Shareholder. Except as expressly set forth hereunder, nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.

 

3.7 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder, Conversion Shares or any other shares pursuant to a conversion on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (a) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (b) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of Conversion Shares for which such conversion was not honored (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Maker (or the performance thereof). The Maker acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable and material harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach would be inadequate.
