Interest shall be calculated from and including the date of this Note until such Principal Amount has been repaid in full or until the Note has been converted. Interest shall be paid annually and shall be calculated on the basis of 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

1. Principal Repayment. The outstanding Principal Amount and interest shall be payable on June 10, 2015 (“Repayment Date”), unless otherwise converted in accordance with Section 2 below.

 

2. Conversion Rights. At any time during the term of this Note, the Holder may deliver a written notification (the “Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower setting forth the portion of the principal amount of the Note and/or interest due and payable that the Holder exercises its conversion rights with respect thereto, subject to the terms and provisions set forth below..

 

2.1 Conversion into the Borrower’s Common Stock

 

(a) The Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, from and after the Borrower’s receipt of an Notice of Conversion or the occurrence of any Event of Default, as the case may be, provided the conditions of Section 2.1 have been fulfilled, and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert the principal portion of this Note and/or interest due and payable set forth in each such Notice of Conversion or the entire principal portion of this Note and/or interest due and payable following the occurrence or an Event of Default, as the case may be, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the “Conversion Price”).

 

 

Upon delivery to the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion substantially in the form attached to this Note, giving the Holder’s written request for conversion (the date of giving such notice of conversion being a “Conversion Date”), the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within five (5) business days from the Conversion Date that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing.

 

(b) The Conversion Price shall be the lesser of $0.01 or 60% of the lowest closing price for the Common Stock on the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, the “Principal Market”) where the Common Stock is listed or traded, for the twenty (20) trading days prior to but not including the Conversion Date. If the Conversion Shares are not deliverable by DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) an additional 10% discount will apply. If the shares are ineligible for deposit into the DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation), an additional 5% discount shall apply. The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Debenture.

 

(c) The Conversion Price described above shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other person or entity, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

 

B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

 

C. Stock Splits. Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

 

D. Stock Sale. If, prior to conversion of the entirety of this Note, the Borrower enters into any agreement to sell its Common Stock or a convertible instrument that converts into its Common Stock prior to conversion of this Note at a price less than the Conversion Price of this Note, then the Conversion Price of any outstanding principal and interest of this Note shall be reset to the price of that offering.

 

2.2 Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

 

2.3 Maximum Conversion. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Notes in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision 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, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

 

3. Place of Payment; Application of Payments. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable to Lender in United States dollars to such bank account as shall be designated by Lender in immediately available funds or as otherwise specified to Borrower in writing, except if converted as per Section 2 above. Payment on this Note shall be applied first to any expenses of collection, then to accrued interest, and thereafter to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

4. Default. The following events shall each be an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

A. Bankruptcy or insolvency of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;

 

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to pay any of the Principal Amount due under this Note on the date the same becomes due and payable, or any accrued interest or other amounts due under this Note after the same becomes due and payable; and

 

C. Breach of any material covenant or agreement contained in this Note and such breach remains uncured for a period of 15 days after written notice hereof is received by Borrower from Lender.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the unpaid Principal Amount, all unpaid accrued interest thereon and all other amounts owing hereunder may, at the option of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, become immediately due and payable to Lender, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in this Section 4, all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender shall become immediately due and payable without any action of Lender. Effective upon an Event of Default that is not cured for a period of30 days after such Event of Default, the interest rate on this Note shall increase to 5% per annum in excess of the Stated Interest Rate.

B. Status of Lender.

D. Subordinate to Existing and Future Debt. The Note issued to the Lender is subordinate to the Borrower’s existing and future debt. The Subject Shares acquired upon conversion of the Note will also be subordinate to existing and future debt.

 

E. Limited Financial and Managerial Resources. The Borrower has limited financial and managerial resources and the Borrower’s ability to respond to financial and managerial challenges in the marketplace are limited.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Negative Cash Flow. Limited Equity, and Need for Additional Capital. The Borrower has had a history of losses and negative cash flow and there can be no assurance that the Borrower will achieve profitability or positive cash flow or if it does, that it can be sustained. The Borrower also has limited equity and a need to raise additional capital but without any assurance that it can raise any additional capital. For these and other reasons, the Lender understands that it should be prepared to lose their entire investment.

 

H. Risk Factors in Annual Report on Form 10-K. Prior to acquiring the Note, the Lender reviewed and understands the Risk Factors set forth in the Borrower’s Annual Report on For5m 10-K and has had sufficient opportunity to ask questions of the Borrower’s officers and directors regarding the Borrower and its affairs and prospects and to receive answers thereto.

 

 

I. No Collateral and No Guarantor. The Note is unsecured and no collateral has or will be given to secure the Borrower’s obligations to the Lender.
