Series A Preferred Stock and one Series G Warrant 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
7
shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of
Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, 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. Upon a Mandatory Conversion, the conversion price shall
be equal to 90% of the purchase price paid by the investors in the Subsequent Financing as
set forth in Section 4.18 of the Purchase Agreement and the securities into which this
Debenture shall be convertible shall be the securities issued in such Subsequent Financing.
If a Subsequent Financing does not occur by the 240th day after this Debenture,
then the conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $1.00, subject
to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).
c) Conversion Limitations. 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 indirectly or directly issuable upon conversion of this Debenture (including
conversion of the Debenture into Series A Preferred Stock, if applicable and subsequent
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock) with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which
are directly or indirectly 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
8
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 reasonable 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 the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the 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, the 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
periodic or annual report, 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 9.99% 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
Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company (unless there are less than
61 days remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case such notice period shall be one day
less than the number of days remaining until the Maturity Date), may waive the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c). Any such waiver will not be effective
until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company (or such shorter
period described in the previous sentence if there are less than 61 days remaining until the
Maturity Date). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation 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 contained herein 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.
9
i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The
number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined
by the quotient obtained by dividing (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 the earlier of
(i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date,
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
Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture and (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). On or after the earlier of (i) the
six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the
Company shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates of
Common Stock (if applicable) required to be delivered by the Company under this
Section 4(d) 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 in which Common Stock is issued, such certificate or certificates are not
delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the second Trading Day after
the Share Delivery 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 to the Company the Common Stock certificates representing the
principal amount of this Debenture unsuccessfully 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
10
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, and
the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150%
of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the
injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be
payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. 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
second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the
Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of
principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after
such second (2nd) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date 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 of Common Stock (if applicable) 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)
11
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 Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver 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 the greater of the Required Minimum and such aggregate number of shares of the
Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement) be directly or indirectly 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 Series A Preferred Stock and/or 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, such Common Stock shall be registered for public sale in accordance
with such Registration Statement to the extent permitted under federal securities
laws.
vii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
viii. Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall
12
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: (i) 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),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii)
combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares or (iv) 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
13
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. If the
Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the
Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be
converted or exercised. 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
14
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, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another Person and shareholders of the Company hold less than 50% of voting equity
securities of the Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of
its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or
exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other
securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or 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.
15
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 twenty (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. In the event that the proposed action set forth in
this Section 5(g)(ii) is material and if the proposed action has not yet been
publicly disclosed by the Company, the Holder hereby agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of such disclosure and the Company shall use best
efforts to publicly disclose all such material information as soon as possible. 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.
16
Section 6. Redemption. |
a) Optional Redemption at Election of Company. Subject to the provisions of
this Section 6(a), at any time after 6-month anniversary of the Original Issue 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 20th Trading Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date
(such date, the “Optional Redemption Date”, such 20 Trading Day period, the
“Optional Redemption Period” and such redemption, the “Optional
Redemption”). The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional
Redemption Date. 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. The Company’s determination to pay
an Optional Redemption in cash shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then
outstanding Debentures based on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of
Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
b) Redemption Procedure. The payment of cash 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 15% per annum
or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional
Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date,
the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter,
to invalidate such Optional Redemption 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 under Section 6(a) 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.
c) Mandatory Redemption upon Change of Control. Subject to the provisions of
this Section 6(c), if the Company effects a Fundamental Transaction at any time after the
Original Issue Date, the Company shall deliver a notice to the Holder (a “Mandatory
Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the
“Mandatory Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem all of the
then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the
Mandatory Redemption Amount on the 20th Trading Day following the Mandatory
Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Mandatory Redemption Date”, such 20th
17
Trading Day period, the “Mandatory Redemption Period” and such redemption, the
“Mandatory Redemption”). The Holder may elect to reject such Mandatory Redemption
by delivering such rejection notice at least five days prior to the Mandatory Redemption
Date. The Mandatory Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Mandatory Redemption Date
to all other Holders. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of
Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Mandatory Redemption Notice through the
date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full. The Company’s determination to pay
a Mandatory Redemption in cash shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then
outstanding Debentures that do not reject such redemption based on their (or their
predecessor’s) initial purchases of Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
Section 7. Negative Covenants. As long as any portion of this Debenture
remains outstanding, unless the holders of at least 51% 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;

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) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire any
Indebtedness, other than the Debentures if on a pro-rata basis;
f) pay cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company;
18
g) 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
h) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

20
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, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory
Default Amount. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results

accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% 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 Company. In
connection with such acceleration described herein, 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.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.

21
b) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of
this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as
applicable, on this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed. This Debenture is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This
Debenture ranks pari passu with all other Debentures now or hereafter issued
under the terms set forth herein.
c) Lost or Mutilated Debenture. If this Debenture shall be mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for
and upon cancellation of a mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost,
stolen or destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture for the principal amount of this Debenture so
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of a lost debenture affidavit
and agree to customary indemnification thereof and evidence of such loss, theft or
destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
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 York, without regard to
the principles of conflict of laws 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 assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York
Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered
or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Debenture and agrees that such service shall

permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the transactions contemplated

this Debenture, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed
by the other party for its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
22
e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any
provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other
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 insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this
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.
g) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall
be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due and made on the next
succeeding Business Day.
h) Headings. The 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.
i) Assumption. Any 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
23
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.
