PEN INTERCONNECT INC
8% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

-------
Convertible Debentures, due July 16, 2004, in the aggregate principal amount of
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the "Debentures").
----------
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx or his
registered assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of $100,000, on July 16,
------
2004 or such earlier date as the Debentures are required or permitted to be
repaid as provided hereunder (the "Maturity Date") and to pay interest to the
-------------
Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of
this Debenture at the rate of 8% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis on May
31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year while such Debentures are
outstanding commencing on July 31, 2001 and on each Conversion Date (as
defined herein) (each an "Interest Payment Date") for such principal amount,
---------------------
commencing on the earlier to occur of a Conversion Date for such principal
amount and July 16, 2004, in cash or shares of Common Stock (as defined in
Section 6). Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Holder May elect to
receive interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock or cash. If interest is
paid by the Company in shares of its Common Stock, then the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on account of such interest shall equal the cash amount of
such interest on such Interest Payment Date divided by the Conversion Price (as
defined below) on such date. Interest shall be calculated on the basis on a
360-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date (as
defined in Section 6) until payment in full of the principal sum, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts which May become due
hereunder, has been made. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person (as
defined in Section 6) in whose name this Debenture is registered on the records
of the Company regarding registration and transfers of Debentures (the
"Debenture Register"). All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid in
-----------
cash hereunder shall entail a late fee at the rate of 15% per annum ("Late Fee")
--------
(or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under
applicable law) which will accrue daily, from the date such interest is due
hereunder through and including the date of payment, payable in cash or, at the
option of the Holder, in shares of Common Stock. If such Late Fee is paid by the
Company in shares of its Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on account of such Late Fee shall equal the cash amount of such Late
Fee on such Late Fee payment date divided by the Conversion Price on such date.
This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:
Section 1. 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 made
for such registration of transfer or exchange.
Section 2. This Debenture has been issued subject to certain
---------
investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase

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.

(xi) the Company shall fail for any reason to deliver the payment in cash
pursuant to a Buy-In (as defined herein) within five days after notice is

such Holder), together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof,
to the date of acceleration shall become at the Holder's election, immediately
due and payable in cash, provided however, that if the Company informs the
-----------------
Holder that it will be unable to pay the amounts due in cash, the Holder May
request payment of such amounts in stock. The number of shares of Common Stock
issuable in payment thereof shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount
due to the Holder by the Conversion Price. The aggregate amount payable upon an
Event of Default shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Mandatory Prepayment
Amount (as defined in Section 6) plus (ii) the product of (A) the number of
Underlying Shares issued in respect of conversions hereunder within thirty days
of the date of a declaration of an Event of Default and then held by the Holder
and (B) the Per Share Market Value (as defined in Section 6) on the date
prepayment is due or the date the full prepayment price is paid, whichever is

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 declaration May be
rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No
such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 4. Conversion.
--------- ----------
(a) (i) 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
(subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(a)(ii) hereof).
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals
the sum of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (see (c)(i)
for this section), and (ii) the amount equal to (I) the product of (x) the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and (y) the
product of (1) the quotient obtained by dividing .08 by 360 and (2) the number
of days for which such principal amount was outstanding, divided by (II) the
Conversion Price on the Conversion Date, provided, that if the Holder shall have
--------
elected to receive the interest due on a Conversion Date in cash, subsection
(ii) shall not be used in the calculation of the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder.
(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) after the Principal and Interest Effectiveness Date (the
ninetieth day after closing) such shares of Common Stock (x) are not registered
for resale pursuant to an effective Underlying Shares Registration Statement and
(y) May not be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k)
promulgated under the Securities Act (as defined in Section 6), as determined by
counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the
Company's transfer agent in the form and substance acceptable to the applicable
Holder and such transfer agent (if the shares of Common Stock are permitted by
the Holder to be delivered under this clause (2) prior to the Effectiveness
Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and thereafter an
Underlying Shares Registration Statement shall be declared effective by the
Commission, the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the date of such
declaration of effectiveness, exchange such shares for shares of Common Stock
that are free of restrictive legends of any kind);
(3) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on
the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTC') or on a Subsequent Market;
---
(4) the Company has failed to timely satisfy its conversion
obligations hereunder; or
(5) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would result in a
violation of Sections 4(a)(ii), then, at the option of the Holder, the Company,
in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(i), shall
deliver, within three Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount
in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount of the
Debentures 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.
(C) The Holder shall effect conversions by simultaneously delivering to
the Company and the Escrow Agent a completed notice in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A (a "Conversion Notice"), including a completed Conversion Schedule
--------- -----------------
in the form of Schedule 1 to the Conversion Notice (on each Conversion Date, the
----------
"Conversion Schedule"). The Conversion Schedule shall set forth the remaining
--------------------
principal amount of this Debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
subsequent to the conversion at issue. 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 be required
to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company in order to effect
conversions. Subject to Section 4(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall
be irrevocable. 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, which shall be
evidenced by entries set forth in the Conversion Schedule. The Holder and the
Company 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.
(ii) Certain Conversion Restrictions. A Holder May not convert
---------------------------------
Debentures or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to
the extent such conversion or receipt of such interest payment would result in
the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and
payment of interest on, the Debentures held by such Holder after application of
this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company
the number of shares of Common Stock it May hold at the time of a conversion
hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares which May be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will
limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of the principal amount of Debentures are
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Debentures
that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates May
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted
amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall
honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted
on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 4(b)
and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered
for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future
conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The
provisions of this Section May be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and
not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company.
Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
(b) (i) Not later than three Trading Days after any Conversion
Date, (i) the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to deliver to the
Holder a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the terms hereof (if there is
no Escrow Agent for such purpose or for any reason there are insufficient shares
of Common Stock deposited with the Escrow Agent for delivery to the Holder upon
conversion hereunder, the Corporation will deliver to the Holder within three
Trading Days the shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion), and
(ii) if the Holder has elected to receive accrued interest in cash, the Company
will deliver to the Holder a bank check, payable to Holder, in the amount of
accrued and unpaid interest. If requested by a Holder, the Company and the
Escrow Agent will use their best efforts to deliver conversion shares
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions. If shares of Common Stock
issuable following a Conversion Notice are not delivered to or as directed by
the Holder by the third Trading Day after a Conversion Date, the Holder shall be
entitled by written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Company at any time on or
before its receipt of such shares, to rescind such conversion, in which event
the Company shall immediately return to the Holder a Debenture in principal
amount equal to the principal amount, interest and all other amounts due in
respect of the Conversion Notice (provided the Holder is converting the entire
principal amount outstanding under this Debenture).
(ii) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
certificates pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) by the third Trading Day after the
Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, $5,000 for each Trading Day after such third
Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a
Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant
to Section 3 herein for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified
herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it 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 Holders from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
Section hereof or under applicable law. Further, if the Company shall not have
delivered any cash due in respect of conversions of Debentures or as payment of
interest thereon by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder
May, by notice to the Company, require the Company to issue shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 4(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 provision of this Section.
(iii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant
to Section 4(b)(i) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, and if
after such third Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder
of the Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder
------
(in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount
by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions,
if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated
receiving from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the market price of the
Common Stock at the time of the sale giving rise to such purchase obligation and
(B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue Debentures in 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 had the
Company timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(b)(i).
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
Debentures with respect to which the market price of the Underlying Shares on
the date of conversion 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. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Holder requires the Company to
make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to timely deliver
certificates hereunder and the Company timely pays in full such payment, the
Company shall not be required to pay such Holder liquidated damages under
Section 4(b)(ii) in respect of the certificates resulting in such Buy-In.
(c) (i) The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") in effect on
----------------
any Conversion Date shall be the lesser of (1) $.04 and (2) 70% of the average
of the lowest three inter-day trading prices (which need not occur on
consecutive Trading Days) during the thirty Trading Days immediately preceding
the applicable Conversion Date (which May include Trading Days prior to the
Original Issue Date), provided, that such thirty Trading Day period shall be
--------
extended for the number of Trading Days during such period in which (A) trading
in the Common Stock is suspended by, or not traded on, the pink sheets or a
Subsequent Market on which the Common Stock is then listed, or (B) after the
date declared effective by the Commission, the Underlying Shares Registration
Statement is either not effective or the Prospectus included in the Underlying
Shares Registration Statement May not be used by the Holder for the resale of
Underlying Shares.
(ii) If the Company, at any time while the Debentures are outstanding,
(a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions
on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent
securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any
shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Initial Conversion Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding 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.
(iii) If the Company, at any time while Debentures are 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 less than the Per Share Market Value at the record date
mentioned 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
(excluding treasury shares, if any) 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 (excluding treasury shares, if any) 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 would
purchase at such Per Share Market Value. 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. However, upon the expiration of any such right,
option or warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock the issuance of which
resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section, if
any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been
exercised, the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration be
recomputed and effective immediately upon such expiration be increased to the
price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the
Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section after the
issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price
made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the
basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of the
Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or
warrants actually exercised.
(iv) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable with
respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any time while
Debentures are outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") entitling
------------------------
any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the
Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent
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 is issued in connection
with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price per
share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to
have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then, at the sole option of
the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion,
exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
(including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The
Company shall notify the Holder and the Escrow Agent in writing, no later than
the business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance
price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
pricing terms. No adjustment under this Section shall be made as a result of
(i) issuances of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to the extent
disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c) to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) issuances and
exercises of options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued for compensatory
purposes pursuant to any of the Company's stock option or stock purchase plans,
or (iii) exercises under the Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
(v) If the Company, at any time while Debentures are outstanding,
shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences
of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price at which Debentures
shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the
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 Per Share Market Value determined
as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such
Per Share Market Value 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 one outstanding share of the Common Stock as
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one 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.
(vi) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property, the Holders shall have the right thereafter
to, at their option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal amount, together
with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder
in respect of this Debenture only into the shares of stock and other securities,
cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of the Common
Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holders of the
Debentures shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of
securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Company
into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this
Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification
or share exchange would have been entitled or (B) require the Company to prepay
the aggregate of its outstanding principal amount of Debentures, plus all
interest and other amounts due and payable thereon, at a price determined in
accordance with Section 3(b). The entire prepayment price shall be paid in
cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or
share exchanges.
(vii) Company share reserve not less than 200% of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion in full of the Debentures and exercise in full of
the Warrants; and within five Business Days following the receipt by the Company
of a Purchaser's notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so
reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock to comply with such requirement.
(vii) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case May be. No
adjustments in either the Conversion Price or the Initial Conversion Price shall
be required if such adjustment is less than $0.01, provided, however, that any
--------
adjustments which by reason of this Section are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(viii) Whenever either the Initial Conversion Price or the Conversion
Price is adjusted pursuant to any of Section 4(c)(ii) - (v), the Company shall
promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Initial Conversion Price
or Conversion Price (as applicable) after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(ix) If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) 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 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; (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 the Debentures, and shall
cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear
upon the stock books of the Company, 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 mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. Holders are entitled to convert Debentures during the 20-day
period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice.
(x) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than one-half of the
assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall
have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section 3(b), (B) convert its
aggregate principal amount of Debentures then outstanding into the shares of
stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be
held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale,
and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to
receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common
Stock into which such aggregate principal amount of Debentures could have been
converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have
been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the
surviving entity to issue to the Holder convertible debentures with a principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures then held by such
Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon,
which newly issued convertible debentures shall have terms identical (including
with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be
entitled to all of the rights and privileges of a Holder of Debentures set forth
herein and the agreements pursuant to which the Debentures were issued. In the
case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares
of convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures shall be based upon the
amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would
receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any
such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to
give the Holders the right to receive the securities, cash and property set
forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event.
This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
(d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for
the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and payment of
interest on the Debentures, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights
or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall
(subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such
shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the
adjustments and restrictions of Section 4(b)) upon the conversion of the
outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and payment of interest
hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully
paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has
been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in
accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to
issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock,
but May if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final
fraction of a share based on the Per Share Market Value 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, one whole
share of Common Stock.
(f) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on
conversion of the Debentures shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof
for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that May be payable in respect of the
issue or delivery of such certificate, 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 such Debentures 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.
(g) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be
provided by the Holders hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion
