Section
2. Interest.
(a) Payment of Interest in Cash
or Kind. The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate
unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture at the rate
of 12% per annum from the Original Issue Date until paid in full, payable on a
monthly basis, on the first day of each month, commencing on September 1, 2008,
on each Optional Redemption Date (as to that principal amount then being
redeemed) and on the Maturity Date (each such date, an "Interest Payment
Date") (if any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the
applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day), in cash or
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock at the Interest Conversion Rate (the dollar amount to be paid in shares of
Common Stock, the "Interest Share
Amount") or a combination thereof; provided, however, that payment
in shares of Common Stock may only occur if (i) all of the Equity Conditions
have been met (unless waived by the Holder in writing) during the 20 Trading
Days immediately prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date (the
"Interest Notice
Period") and through and including the date such shares of Common Stock
are issued to the Holder, (ii) the Company shall have given the Holder notice in
accordance with the notice requirements set forth below and (iii) as to such
Interest Payment Date, not less than 2 Trading Days prior to such Interest
Payment Date, the Company shall have delivered to the Holder's account with The
Depository Trust Company a number of shares of Common Stock to be applied
against such Interest Share Amount equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable
Interest Share Amount divided by (y) the then Conversion Price (the "Interest Conversion
Shares"). In addition to the payment of interest described
above, on each Conversion Date, Forced Conversion Date and Optional Redemption
Date, the Company shall pay the Holder via a bank check or wire transfer in the
amount equal to all interest that would have accrued if the principal amount
subject to such Notice of Conversion, Forced Conversion Notice or Optional
Redemption Notice, as applicable, had remained outstanding through the Maturity
Date.
(b) Company's Election to Pay
Interest in Kind. Subject to the terms and conditions herein,
the decision whether to pay interest hereunder in cash, shares of Common Stock
or a combination thereof shall be at the discretion of the
Company. Prior to the commencement of any Interest Notice Period, the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of its election to pay
interest hereunder on the applicable Interest Payment Date either in cash,
shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof and the Interest Share Amount as
to the applicable Interest Payment Date, provided that the Company may indicate
in such notice that the election contained in such notice shall apply to future
Interest Payment Dates until revised by a subsequent notice. During
any Interest Notice Period, the Company's election (whether specific to an
Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be irrevocable as to such Interest
Payment Date. Subject to the aforementioned conditions, failure to
timely deliver such written notice to the Holder shall be deemed an election by
the Company to pay the interest on such Interest Payment Date in
cash. At any time the Company delivers a notice to the Holder of its
election to pay the interest in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall timely
file a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 disclosing such election if a
registration statement is then effective. The aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Holder on an Interest Payment
Date shall be reduced by the number of Interest Conversion Shares previously
issued to the Holder in connection with such Interest Payment Date.
(c) Interest
Calculations. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily
commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the principal
sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other
amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Payment of
interest in shares of Common Stock (other than the Interest Conversion Shares
issued prior to an Interest Notice Period) shall otherwise occur pursuant to
Section 4(d)(ii) herein and, solely for purposes of the payment of interest in
shares, the Interest Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion
Date. Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal
amount converted, provided that the Company actually delivers the Conversion
Shares within the time period required by Section 4(d)(ii)
herein. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name
this Debenture is registered on the records of the Company regarding
registration and transfers of this Debenture (the "Debenture Register").
Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Company pays interest
partially in cash and partially in shares of Common Stock to the holders of the
Debentures, then such payment of cash shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the then-outstanding Debentures based on their (or their
predecessor's) initial issuance of Debentures pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement.
(d) Late
Fee. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid
hereunder shall entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18%
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law ("Late Fees") which
shall accrue daily from the date such interest is due hereunder through and
including the date of payment in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if on any Interest Payment Date the Company has elected to pay
accrued interest in the form of Common Stock but the Company is not permitted to
pay accrued interest in Common Stock because it fails to satisfy the conditions
for payment in Common Stock set forth in Section 2(a) herein, then, at the
option of the Holder, the Company, in lieu of delivering either shares of Common
Stock pursuant to this Section 2 or paying the regularly scheduled interest
payment in cash, shall deliver, within three Trading Days of each applicable
Interest Payment Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number
of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Holder in connection with
the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date multiplied by (y) the
highest VWAP during the period commencing on the Interest Payment Date and
ending on the Trading Day prior to the date such payment is made. If
any Interest Conversion Shares are issued to the Holder in connection with an
Interest Payment Date and are not applied against an Interest Share Amount, then
the Holder shall promptly return such excess shares to the Company.
(e) Prepayment. Except
as otherwise set forth in this Debenture, the Company may not prepay any portion
of the principal amount of this Debenture without the prior written consent of
the Holder.
Section
3. Registration of Transfers
and Exchanges.
(a) Different
Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate
principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will
be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b) Investment
Representations. This Debenture has been issued subject to certain
investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase
Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the
Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and
regulations.
(c) Reliance on Debenture
Register. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this
Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in
whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the
owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all
other purposes, whether or not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the
Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section
4. Conversion.
(a) Voluntary Conversion.
At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer
outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into
shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to
time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(c)
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 (such
date, the "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 Holder 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.
(b) Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date
shall be equal to $1.25, subject to adjustment
herein (the "Conversion
Price").
(c) Xxxxxx's Restriction on
Conversion. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this
Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this
Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on
the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder's
Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the
Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted
principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures or the Warrants)
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set
forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the
extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c) applies, the
determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which
principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole
discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be
deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Debenture may be
converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each
case subject to such aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure compliance with
this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each
time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not
violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have
no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c),
in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may
rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most
recent of the following: (A) the Company's most recent Form 10-QSB or Form
10-KSB, as the case may be; (B) a more recent public announcement by the
Company; or (C) a more recent notice by the Company or the Company's transfer
agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon
the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading
Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or
exercise of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by the Holder
or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership
Limitation" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture held by the
Holder. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 4(c) may be waived by the Holder, at the election of the Holder, upon
not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Company, to change the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the provisions of
this Section 4(c) shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a
Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such
9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived
by the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed
and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may
be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of
this Debenture.
(d) Mechanics of
Conversion.
(i) Conversion Shares Issuable
Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
(ii) Delivery of Certificate 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) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares
which, on or after February 13, 2009, shall be free of restrictive legends and
trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the
Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture (including, if the Company has
given continuous notice pursuant to Section 2(b) for payment of interest in
shares of Common Stock at least 20 Trading Days prior to the date on which the
Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company, shares of Common Stock
representing the payment of accrued interest otherwise determined pursuant to
Section 2(a) but assuming that the Interest Payment Period is the 20 Trading
Days period immediately prior to the date on which the Conversion Notice is
delivered to the Company and excluding for such issuance the condition that the
Company deliver Interest Conversion Shares as to such interest payment), (B) a
bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Company has
elected or is required to pay accrued interest in cash) and (C) a bank check or
wire transfer in the amount equal to all interest that would have accrued if the
principal amount subject to such Notice of Conversion had remained outstanding
through the Maturity Date. On or after the date that a legend is no
longer required under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its best efforts
to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the
Company under this Section 4 electronically through the Depository Trust Company
or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
(iii) Failure to Deliver
Certificates. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such
certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the
applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder
shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or
before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such
Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any
original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return
the Common Stock certificates representing the principal amount of this
Debenture tendered for conversion to the Company.
(iv) Obligation Absolute; Partial
Liquidated Damages. 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; provided, however, that such
delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the
Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this
Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount
hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder
or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any
violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a
court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or
part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained. In the
absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if
applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company
fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date,
the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, for each $1000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day
(increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such
liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such third
Trading Day until such certificates are
delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Xxxxxx's right to
pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8
hereof for the Company's failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period
specified herein and the 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.
(v) Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates 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 certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery
Date pursuant to Section 4(d)(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 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 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(d)(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 Xxxxxx'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 certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to
the terms hereof.
(vi) 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 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 shares of Common Stock that
shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and, if a registration statement is then effective
under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with
such registration statement.
(vii) Fractional Shares.
Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if
otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a
share based on the VWAP at such time. If the Company elects not, or
is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive,
in lieu of the final fraction of a share, 1 whole share of Common
Stock.
(viii) Transfer
Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common
Stock 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, 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.
Section
5. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any
Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of
interest on, the Debentures); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;
or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock,
any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding
immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
(b) Subsequent Equity
Sales. If, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, 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
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per
share that is lower than the then 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 an effective
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 5(b) in respect of an
Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no
later than 1 Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), 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 5(b), 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.
(c) Subsequent Rights
Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Debenture is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date
referenced below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so
offered (assuming delivery to the Company in full of all consideration payable
upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such
VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants
are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or
warrants.
(d) Pro Rata
Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders)
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than the
Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 5(b)), then in each such case
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the
denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above,
and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then
fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence
of indebtedness so distributed applicable to 1 outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good
faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a
statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences
of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to 1 share
of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date mentioned above.
(e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (A) the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its
assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed
pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects
any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged
for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "Fundamental
Transaction"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture,
the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would
have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of
such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount 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 1 share of Common Stock (the "Alternate
Consideration"). For purposes of any such conversion, the
determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of 1 share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction,
and the Company shall apportion the 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 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. To the extent
necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, 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 convert such debenture into Alternate Consideration. 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 Section 5(e) and insuring that this Debenture (or any
such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(f) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 5 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 5, 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 any treasury shares of the Company) issued and
outstanding.
(g) Notice to the
Holder.
(i) Adjustment to Conversion
Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to
any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to each
Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(ii) Notice to Allow Conversion
by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall
cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon
the Debenture Register, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record
or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which
a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such
notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the
20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date
of the event triggering such notice.
Section
6. Redemption and Forced
Conversion.
(a) Optional Redemption at
Election of Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section
6, at any time after the Effective Date, 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 Trading 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 only effect an
Optional Redemption if each of the Equity Conditions shall have been met (unless
waived in writing by the Holder) on each Trading Day during the period
commencing on the Optional Redemption Notice Date through to the Optional
Redemption Date and through and including the date payment of the Optional
Redemption Amount is actually made in full. If any of the Equity
Conditions shall cease to be satisfied at any time during the 10 Trading Day
period, then the Holder may elect to nullify the Optional Redemption Notice by
notice to the Company within 3 Trading Days after the first day on which any
such Equity Condition has not been met (provided that if, by a provision of the
Transaction Documents, the Company is obligated to notify the Holder of the
non-existence of an Equity Condition, such notice period shall be extended to
the third Trading Day after proper notice from the Company) in which case the
Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void, ab initio. 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.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Redemption
Procedure. The payment of cash or issuance of Common Stock, as
applicable, pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall be payable on the Optional
Redemption Date. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an
Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by 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 return such portion of the Optional Redemption Amount as has been
paid and 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
6, the Company's determination to redeem in cash or its elections under Section
6(b) shall be applied ratably among the Holders of Debentures. The Holder may
elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to
Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Section
6 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company.
(d) Forced Conversion.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the Effective Date,
the VWAP for any 20 Trading Days in any 30 consecutive Trading Days, which 30
Trading Day period shall have commenced only after the Effective Date (such 30
Trading Day period, the "Threshold Period"),
exceeds 200% of the then-applicable Conversion Price (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), the Company may, within three Trading Days 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 Debenture plus, if so specified in the Forced
Conversion Notice, accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other
amounts owing to the Holder under this Debenture, 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"). The Company may not deliver a Forced Conversion
Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Company shall not be
effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions are met (unless waived in writing
by the Holder) on each Trading Day occurring during the applicable Threshold
Period through and including the later of the Forced Conversion Date and the
Trading Day after the date such Conversion Shares pursuant to such conversion
are delivered to the Holder. Any Forced Conversion shall be applied
ratably to all Holders based on their initial purchases of Debentures pursuant
to the Purchase 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 Debenture 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.
Section
7.
Negative Covenants.
As long as any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, unless the holders
of at least 90% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures shall
have otherwise given prior
written
consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries
(whether or not a Subsidiary on the Original Issue Date) to, directly or
indirectly:
(a) other
than Permitted Indebtedness, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or
suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but
not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets
now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom; provided, however, that the prohibition on indebtedness set forth in
this Section 7(a) shall not apply if, subsequent to such indebtedness, the
Current Ratio shall equal or exceed 1.0;
(b) other
than Permitted Liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned
or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom;
(c) amend its
charter documents, including, without limitation, the certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects
any rights of the Holder;
(d) repay,
repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of
shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents other than as to (a) the
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares as permitted or required under the
Transaction Documents and (b) repurchases of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents of departing officers and directors of the Company, provided that
such repurchases shall not exceed an aggregate of $100,000 for all officers and
directors during the term of this Debenture;
(e) pay cash
dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company;
(f) enter
into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Company which would be required
to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such
transaction is made on an arm's-length basis and expressly approved by a
majority of the disinterested directors of the Company (even if less than a
quorum otherwise required for board approval); or
(g) enter
into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Section
8. Events of
Default.
(a) "Event of Default"
means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason
for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body):
(i) any default in the payment of (A) the principal amount
of any Debenture or (B) interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing to
a Holder on any Debenture, as and when the same shall become due and payable
(whether on a Conversion Date or the Maturity Date or by acceleration or
otherwise) which default is not cured within 3 Trading Days;
(ii) the
Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement
contained in the Debentures (other than a breach by the Company of its
obligations to deliver shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion,
which breach is addressed in clause (xi) below) which failure is not cured, if
possible to cure, within 10 Trading Days after such failure;
(iii) a default
or event of default (subject to any grace or cure period provided in the
applicable agreement, document or instrument) shall occur under (A) any of the
Transaction Documents or (B) any other material agreement, lease, document or
instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is obligated (and not covered
by clause (vi) below);
(iv) any
representation or warranty made in this Debenture, any other Transaction
Documents, any written statement pursuant hereto or thereto or any other report,
financial statement or certificate made or delivered to the Holder or any other
Holder shall be untrue or incorrect in any respect as of the date when made or
deemed made;
(v) the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall be subject to a Bankruptcy
Event;
(vi) the
Company or any Subsidiary shall default on any of its obligations under any
mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring
agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there
may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due
under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement that (a) involves an
obligation greater than $150,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall
hereafter be created, and (b) results in such indebtedness becoming or being
declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become
due and payable;
(vii) the
Common Stock shall not be eligible for listing or quotation for trading on a
Trading Market and shall not be eligible to resume listing or quotation for
trading thereon within five Trading Days;
(viii) the
Company shall be a party to any Change of Control Transaction or Fundamental
Transaction or shall agree to sell or dispose of all or in excess of 50% of its
assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions (whether or not
such sale would constitute a Change of Control Transaction);
(ix) if, after
the date hereof, the Company is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) for more
than 20 consecutive days, or more than an aggregate of 45 days in any 12 month
period, or any other conditions exist for such a period of time that the Holder
is unable to sell the Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or
manner of sale restrictions as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to
a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the
Transfer Agent and the Purchasers; provided, however, that it
shall not be an Event of Default during any period in which the Holder is an
Affiliate of the Company (or for the 90 day period immediately following any
such period that such Holder is an Affiliate of the Company) solely as a result
of the Holder purchasing shares of Common Stock in the open market or waiving
the beneficial ownership limitations included in any of the Common Stock
Equivalents held by the Holder;
(x) the
Company shall fail for any reason to deliver certificates to a Holder prior to
the fifth Trading Day after a Conversion Date or any Forced Conversion Date
pursuant to Section 4(d) or the Company shall provide at any time notice to the
Holder, including by way of public announcement, of the Company's intention to
not honor requests for conversions of any Debentures in accordance with the
terms hereof; or
(xi) any
monetary judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed
against the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective property or other
assets for more than $150,000, and such judgment, writ or similar final process
shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 45 calendar
days.
(b) Remedies Upon Event of
Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount
of this Debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and
other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall
become, at the Holder's election as evidenced by written notice to the Company,
immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default
Amount. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Debenture, the
interest rate on this Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the
lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable
law. Upon the payment in full of the Mandatory Default Amount, the
Holder shall promptly surrender this Debenture to or as directed by the

Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without
expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies
hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable
law. 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
pursuant to this Section 8(b). No such rescission or annulment shall
affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

(d) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New

thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any
of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its
respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents)
shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan (the "New York
Courts"). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of
the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to

its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
(e) Waiver. Any
waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this

breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this
Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon
strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall
not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to

Debenture. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in
writing.
(f) Severability. If
any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is
inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain
applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be
found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates
the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due
hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest
permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension
or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from
paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture as
contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or
which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the
Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all
benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort
to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as
though no such law has been enacted.

Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall
be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day.

headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of
this Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.

successor to the Company or any surviving entity in a Fundamental Transaction
shall (i) assume, prior to such Fundamental Transaction, all of the obligations
of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents pursuant
to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) issue to the
Holder a new debenture of such successor entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Debenture,
including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal
to the principal amount and the interest rate of this Debenture and having
similar ranking to this Debenture, which shall be satisfactory to the Holder
(any such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The
provisions of this Section 9(i) shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations
of this Debenture.
