4. Conversion into Common Stock.

 

a. General.

 

(i) Conversion into Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(a)(ii) and 4(d) below, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right to convert the unpaid principal of this Note (the "Note Balance"), in whole or in part (such amount sought to be converted being referred to herein as the "Conversion Amount"), into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed, exchanged or reclassified. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, upon the conversion of the whole Note Balance shall be determined at an initial conversion price calculated such that following conversion of the whole Note Balance, as of the Closing Date, the Note shall be convertible into 25% of the Company's total authorized common stock (the "Conversion Price"). The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, upon the conversion of a partial Note Balance shall be determined at a Conversion Price calculated such that following conversion of the partial Note Balance, as of the Closing Date, the Note shall be convertible into the pro rata amount of the Company's total authorized common stock. The Holder's election to convert this Note, in whole or in part shall be irrevocable.The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion, but instead shall round up such fraction to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note. Any such conversion set forth in a conversion notice dated prior thereto, shall be deemed to be effective as of the date of such conversion notice (the "Conversion Date").

 

(ii) Conversion Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, at no time may a Holder of this Note (other than the Holder for purposes of this Section 4a(ii)) convert this Note into Common Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would cause the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time to exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder, its affiliates, any investment manager having discretionary investment authority over the accounts or assets of such Holder, or any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) and Section 16 of the 1934 Act, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon the Holder of this Note providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to this Note) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive this Section 4a(ii) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 4a(ii) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Common Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.

 

(iii) Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note in full in the manner provided by this Section 4, this Note shall be deemed fully satisfied and cancelled.

 

b. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the Note (the "Reserved Amount"). If the Company 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 Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Company 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 Note. The Company: (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably authorized by its Board of Directors to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note; and (ii) agrees that its issuance of the 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 the Note.

 c. Method of Conversion.

 

(i) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 4(a), the Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part, by: (i) submitting to the Company a conversion notice (by facsimile or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time); and (ii) subject to Section 4(d)(ii), surrendering the Note at the principal office of the Company.

 

(ii) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Note to the Company unless the entire unpaid principal amount of the Note is so converted. The Holder and the Company 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 Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of the Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer the Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders the Note to the Company, whereupon the Company 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 the Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of the Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of the Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of the Note represented by the Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(iii) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of a facsimile or electronic transmission (or other reasonable means of communication) of a conversion notice meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 4(c), the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day, order its transfer agent to issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within four (4) Business Days of the conversion notice being received by the Company from the Holder (such fourth Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the "Deadline") in accordance with the terms hereof and the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

(iv) Obligation of Company to Deliver Common Stock. Upon delivery by the Holder to the Company of a Conversion notice, the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the Note being converted shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Company defaults on its obligations under this Section 4, all rights with respect to the portion of the 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 conversion notice as provided herein, the Company'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 Company 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 Company, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the conversion notice shall be the Conversion Date so long as the conversion notice is received by the Company before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

(v) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder by the Deadline, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share register or to credit the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a "Conversion Failure"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each Trading Day after such fourth (4th) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 4 and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section (c)(v) or otherwise. For purposes of this Note, "Closing Sale Price" means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price and last trade price, respectively, for such security on the OTCQX US Exchange, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the OTCQX US Exchange begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price, as the case may be, then the last bid price or the last trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the OTCQX US Exchange is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (formerly Pink Sheets LLC). If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price, as the case may be, of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 17. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

 

d. Adjustments on Conversion Amount. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of the Note shall be subject to adjustments as follows:

 

(i) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by any reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(ii) Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the date upon which this Note was issued by the Company (the "Original Issue Date"), the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise, then, in any such event, each holder of the Note shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets, distribution of assets or other change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets, distribution of assets or other change, or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

 

(iii) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the then current Conversion Price (such lower price, the "Base Conversion Price" and such issuances, collectively, a "Dilutive Issuance") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 4(d)(iii) in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as hereinafter defined). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 4(d)(iii), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the "Dilutive Issuance Notice"). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(d)(iii), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion. For purposes of this Note, "Common Stock Equivalents" means any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

 

(iv) Exceptions to Adjustment. No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be effected as a result of an Exempt Issuance. "Exempt Issuance" shall mean, collectively, (i) the Company's issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements, including any such agreements in effect as of the Issuance Date, so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights; (ii) the Company's issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans which are constituted on the Issuance Date (including, without limitation, that certain BioCorRx Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan which the Company plans to adopt prior to June 30, 2016, a form of which plan is attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit E) or plans that are later approved by the directors and approved by the Company's shareholders, if required by law (with such future plans requiring the prior approval of the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), so long as such plan does not exceed 12.5% of the Company's total authorized common stock; (iii) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation; (iv) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement; (v) any securities, including the Note, as well as any shares of common stock issued as interest payment on the Note, issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (so long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect the Holders); (vi) the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note; (vii) any shares of Common Stock issued as payment of dividends; and, (viii) any warrants issued to the Placement Agent or the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying same.

 

 
5
 

  

(v) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 4, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

(vi) 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 4(d), the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Note a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment.
