1.2 Redemption. The Borrower may, at its option, at any time during the term of this Note, redeem a portion or all amounts of outstanding Principal Amount, without incurring penalties, additional interest, or other fees or charges; provided that the Borrower shall send the Holder written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) of such redemption stating the amount of the Principal Amount being redeemed (the “Redemption Amount”) and, if such redemption of the Note is in full, the place or places whether the Note is to be surrendered for payment.

At any time during the term of this Note, except as otherwise provided herein, the Principal Amount less any unamortized prepaid interest, if any, and all accrued interest, if any, thereon (the “Maximum Conversion Amount”) may, at the option of the Holder, be converted, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable whole shares of Common Stock (“Optional Conversion”) in accordance with Section 3.4 below.

 

3.2. Mechanics of Conversion. The Holder shall notify the Borrower in writing of its election to convert all or part of the Maximum Conversion Amount (the “Conversion Amount”) in accordance with Section 3.1 (the “Conversion Notice”).

b. The Holder executes any and all documents required in connection with becoming a holder of Common Stock;

 

c. The Borrower issues and delivers to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of Common Stock, if any, to which Holder shall be entitled as provided herein, within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Conversion Notice (the “Certificates”); and

3.4 Adjustment of Note Conversion Rate. In the event the Borrower shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a reverse stock split and subdivision of the Borrower’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall forthwith be adjusted by proportionally increasing the Note conversion price on the date such subdivision shall become effective. In the event the Borrower shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a forward stock split and subdivision of the Borrower’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall forthwith be adjusted by proportionally decreasing the Note conversion price on the date such subdivision shall become effective.

3.5 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Borrower issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon conversion of the Note, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder the amount of the fractional shares valued at the Conversion Rate.

 

4. Reservation of Authorized Shares.

 

4.1 Reservation. On the date of this Note, the Borrower shall have reserved all of its authorized unissued shares of Common Stock, including treasury shares of Common Stock (“Initial Reserve Amount”), solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note or other convertible securities issued to the Holder, if any. After the increase in the Borrower’s authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (“Authorized Share Increase”), the Borrower shall at all times thereafter reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate with respect to Maximum Conversion Amount of this Note, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note (the “Subsequent Reserve Amount”).

 

4.2 Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time after the Authorized Share Increase and while this Note remains outstanding the Borrower does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Subsequent Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Borrower shall take all action necessary to effect an Authorized Share Increase.

 

5. Usury. All agreements between the Borrower and the Holder are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible amount under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstances the Holder should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest, and, if the Principal Amount of this Note has been paid in full, shall be refunded to the Borrower.

 

6. Negative Covenants. So long as this Note shall remain in effect and until any Outstanding Amount (and liquidated damages, if any) and all fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under this Note have been paid in full, unless the Holders shall otherwise consent in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Borrower shall not amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the Holder.

 

7. Replacement of Note. If this Note is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Borrower shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Note, a new Note, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested.
