Optional Redemption at Election of Company Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder (an “Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 10th Business Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional Redemption Date” and such redemption, the “Optional Redemption”). The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice if there is an existing Event of Default or an existing event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company on the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.
Mandatory Conversion Provided an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or giving of notice could become an Event of Default has not occurred, then, until the Maturity Date, the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) of compelling the Holder to convert all or a portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal of the Note and accrued interest, thereon, into Common Stock at fifty percent (50%) of the Conversion Price, as adjusted, then in affect (“Mandatory Conversion”). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion, which notice must be given on the first day following twenty (20) consecutive trading days (“Lookback Period”) during which the closing price for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the Principal Market shall be greater than Five Dollars ($5.00) each such trading day and during which twenty (20) trading days, the daily trading volume as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market is greater than 100,000 shares. The date the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is given is the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Note which is subject to Mandatory Conversion. Mandatory Conversion Notices must be given proportionately to all Holders of Notes. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal and interest for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date. Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date and the Borrower will be required to deliver the Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice in the same manner and time period as described in the Subscription Agreement. A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may be given only in connection with an amount of Common Stock which would not cause a Holder to exceed the 4.99% (or if increased, 9.99%) beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 2.3 of this Note.
Conversion at Option of Holder (A) This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 4) (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder prior to the Fifth (5th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the OTC or on a Subsequent Market; (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy its conversion; or (4) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would result in a violation of Section 3(a)(ii), then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)(A), shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted plus any interest due therein divided by the Conversion Price and multiplied by the highest closing price of the stock from date of the conversion notice till the date that such cash payment is made. Further, if the Obligor shall not have delivered any cash due in respect of conversion of this Debenture or as payment of interest thereon by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the Obligor, require the Obligor to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c), except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the provisions of this Section.
(C) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Obligor a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Conversion Notice"). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the "Conversion Date." Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Obligor in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
Redemption at the Option of the Company Unless a Redemption Right is specified on the face hereof, this Security shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company before the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof. If a Redemption Right is so specified, this Security may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any Business Day on and after the date, if any, specified on the face hereof (each, a "Redemption Date"). This Security may be redeemed on any Redemption Date in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (an "Authorized Denomination") at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, on written notice given not more than 60 days nor less than 5 days prior to the proposed Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.
Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, or fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in this Note or in the Subscription Agreement) or for any reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business days after request by the Subscriber, at the Subscriber's election, a sum of money in immediately available terms equal to the greater of (i) the product of the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Subscriber multiplied by 120%, or (ii) the product of the number of Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable upon conversion of an amount of Note principal and/or interest designated by the Subscriber (with the date of giving of such designation being a “Deemed Conversion Date”) at the then Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Deemed Conversion Date multiplied by the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days preceding either: (1) the date the Company becomes obligated to pay the Mandatory Redemption Payment, or (2) the date on which the Mandatory Redemption Payment is made in full, whichever is greater, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any liquidated damages then payable (“Mandatory Redemption Payment”). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber on the same date as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) business days after request, whichever is sooner (“Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 2.5(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the twenty (20) day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment.
Optional Conversion To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company. On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
Forced Conversion Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the Original Issue Date, (i) the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock for each of the sixty (60) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the issuance of the Forced Conversion Notice (as defined below), which period shall have commenced only after the Original Issue Date (such period the “Threshold Period”), exceeds $1.16 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the Original Issue Date) and (ii) in excess of 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock has traded on each of sixty (60) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the issuance of the Forced Conversion Notice, (iii) on the Forced Conversion Notice Date and thereafter there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares or the Conversion Shares may be immediately resold in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 ,(iv) the Company is current in its required Periodic Filings with the SEC and (v) there are at least 2 market makers for the Common Stock the Company may, within 1 Trading Day after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to the Holder, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause the Holder to convert all or part of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus, if so specified in the Forced Conversion Notice, accrued but unpaid liquidated damages and other amounts owing to the Holder under this Note, it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 4 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “Forced Conversion Date”). Any Forced Conversion shall be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Subscription Agreement; provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against the Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if only a portion of this Note is forcibly converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 4, including, without limitation, the provision requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions. No Forced Conversion Notice shall be effective to the extent it would require a Conversion in excess of the limitations in Section 4 (c ) of the Note .
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total 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, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article XIV.
(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 14.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached to this Indenture as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (subject to postponement to comply with changes in applicable law after the date of this Indenture); and
(ii) delivery of the Notes to be repurchased, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:
(iii) the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(iv) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(v) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the two preceding sentences, if the Notes are Global Notes, then the Holder must instead comply with the applicable Depositary procedures to exercise the Fundamental Change repurchase right. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, a Holder that has exercised its Fundamental Change repurchase right with respect to any Note may withdraw such exercise in accordance with Section 14.02. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof or any corresponding exercise or withdrawal pursuant to the applicable Depositary procedures.
(c) On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article XIV;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and
(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes. No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01. At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been canceled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Automatic Conversion Subject to Section 5 below and, at the Company’s election and request, Holder’s reaffirmation of Holder’s representations and warranties under Section 3 of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, the principal amount of this Note (and all interest accrued on this Note at the option of the Payor) shall be converted into the number of shares of common stock as follows:
(a) In the event of a next equity financing by the Company in one transaction or series of related transactions which raises an aggregate amount of at least One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Next Equity Financing”), the principal amount on this Note shall automatically be converted (regardless of whether or not the Note is surrendered to Payor) into the equity securities issued in the Payor’s Next Equity Financing (the “Next Equity Financing Stock”). Any accrued interest outstanding at the time of the conversion shall be paid in cash by the Company. This Note shall convert into the number of shares at the time of the “Next Equity Financing” equals to ___,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Exercise Price”) This Note shall be deemed automatically cancelled immediately upon such conversion. As a condition precedent to the issuance of the Next Equity Financing Stock to Holder upon such conversion, Holder shall execute and deliver such agreements, instruments and other documents as are executed and delivered by the other investors in connection with their purchase of the Next Equity Financing Stock.
(b) In the event of the “Company’s Sale”, defined below, at the option of Payor, the principal hereunder and, at the option of the Payor, shall automatically be converted (regardless of whether or not the Note is surrendered to Payor) into the number of shares (the “Company’s Sale Stock”) equals to ____,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Note shall be deemed automatically cancelled immediately upon such conversion.
