Section 4.
Conversion.
a)
Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until the Maturity Date, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder, into shares of Common Stock, or any other class of equity securities issued by the Company ("Other Equity Securities") for financing purposes after the Original Issue Date (an "Equity Financing Transaction"), at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(b) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (a "Notice of Conversion"), specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall 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 deemed delivered 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. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within 1 Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. 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.
3
b)
Conversion Price. Subject to adjustment as set forth below, the conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to: (i) $0.35, with respect to that portion of the Debenture converted into Common Stock at the election of the Holder pursuant to this Section 4, (ii) the lesser of $0.35 and the average Closing Price for the 120 consecutive Trading Days up to, but not including, the Maturity Date, with respect to that portion of the Debenture automatically converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6, and (iii) the per share subscription price of any Other Equity Securities as set forth in the definitive transaction documents for the applicable Equity Financing Transaction, with respect to that portion of the Debenture converted into Other Equity Securities, in each case, subject to adjustment herein (the "Conversion Price").
c)
Conversion Limitations.
i.
Holder’s Restriction on Conversion.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any conversion of this Debenture (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a Conversion Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in such Conversion Notice is permitted under this paragraph. The Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such limitation, but in no event later than the Maturity Date.
ii.
Trading Market Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Trading Market is the New York Stock Exchange or any other market or exchange with similar applicable rules, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to the Transaction Documents at an effective purchase price less than the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date equals 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Issuable Maximum"), unless the Company obtains stockholder approval in accordance with the rules and regulations of such Trading Market. If, at the time any Holder requests a conversion of any of the Debentures, the Actual Minimum (excluding any shares issued or issuable at an effective purchase price in excess of the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date) exceeds the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not previously obtained the required stockholder approval), then the Company shall issue to the Holder requesting such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock not exceeding such Holder’s pro rata portion of the Issuable Maximum (based on such Holder’s share (vis-à-vis other Holders) of the aggregate purchase price paid under the Purchase Agreement and taking into account any Conversion Shares previously issued to such Holder). For the purposes hereof, "Actual Minimum" shall mean, as of any date, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the Transaction Documents, including any Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion in full of all Debentures and exercise in full of all Warrants, without giving effect to (x) any limits on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be owned by a Holder at any one time, or (y) any additional Underlying Shares that could be issuable as a result of any future possible adjustments.
4
d)
Mechanics of Conversion.
iii.
Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted, plus the accrued interest thereon, by (B) the Conversion Price.
iv.
Delivery of Certificates Upon Conversion. Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Conversion Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, representing the number of shares of Conversion being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive the Conversion Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Conversion Shares as of the Conversion Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver the Conversion Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if the Company is then a participant in any such system.
v.
Failure to Deliver Certificates. In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Common Stock by the fifth Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate representing the Conversion Shares is required by this Debenture, and if after such fifth Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within five Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.
vi.
Obligation Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
5
vii.
Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or, if applicable, Other Equity Securities, for the sole purpose of issuance upon 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 such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all Conversion Share that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such Registration Statement.
viii.
Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Conversion Shares on the conversion of this Debenture. If any fraction of a Conversion Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Debenture, the number of Conversion Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
ix.
Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Debenture or receiving the Conversion Shares upon exercise hereof.
Section 5.
Certain Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or Other Equity Securities or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities, as the case may be, outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities, as the case may be, outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
6
b)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Equity Securities or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock or Other Equity Securities is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities covered by Section 5(a) above) (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Debenture, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Conversion Shares then issuable upon conversion in full of this Debenture (the "Alternate Consideration"). The aggregate Conversion Price for this Debenture will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock or Other Equity Securities are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Conversion Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Debeture from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unconverted portion of this Debenture on the date of such request.
c)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of equity securities outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of equity securities.
d)
Notice to the Holder.
i.
Adjustment to Conversion Price. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Debenture and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Conversion Price and adjusted number or type of Conversion Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
7
ii.
Notice to Allow Conversion by Xxxxxx. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock or Other Equity Securities, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction, or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock or Other Equity Securities in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to convert this Debenture prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
Section 6.
Automatic Conversion at Maturity.
a)
Automatic Conversion. Effective upon the Maturity Date, all of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus accrued but unpaid interest, shall be converted into Common Stock in accordance with Section 4; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in Section 4 to the contrary, (i) the "Conversion Date" for purposes of Section 4 shall be the Maturity Date; and (ii) the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(c) shall not apply.
b)
Issuance of Class H Warrants. In the event that this Debenture is outstanding as of the Maturity Date and automatically converted pursuant to Section 6(a), then the Company shall issue to Holder a warrant, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to one half of the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon Conversion of this Debenture pursuant to Section 6(a), at per share exercise price equal to the lower of (i) $.60 and (ii) 120% of the average Closing Price for the 120 consecutive Trading Days up to, but not including, the Maturity Date.

Upon the payment in full or the delivery of certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrant pursuant to this Section 7(b), the Holder shall promptly surrender this Debenture to or as directed by the Company.

Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Xxxxxx at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Debenture until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment or the certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrant pursuant to this Section 7(b).
