The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the Principal Amount and interest of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire Principal Amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion amount. The Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Xxxxxx converted and the date of such conversions. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. In the event of any conversion of this Debenture in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the Common Shares shall be dated the Conversion Date and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Business Days after any Conversion Date, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purpose to be the holder of the Common Shares so purchased as of the date of such conversion. The Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of Common Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture. The Holder shall deliver this original Debenture, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Debenture is fully exercised.
iii. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will cause the Company to at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon any conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than 100% of the Common Shares as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the Principal Amount and payment of interest hereunder.

v. Transfer Taxes.

The sales price is the sale of shares that take place over the 10 day period beginning on the drawdown note. Upon the tru-up.
vi. Maximum Exercise of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Debenture, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Debenture if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Company with at least 61 days’ notice (the “Waiver Notice”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 1(vi) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, this Section 1(vi) shall be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Debenture referenced in the Waiver Notice.

i. make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
ii. subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
iii. combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is convertible immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
3. Anti-Dilution Protection.
