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 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 $0.45 subject to adjustment herein (the
"Conversion Price").
6
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, such Holder (together with such Holder's Affiliates, and
any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder
or any of such 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 such 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 such 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 such 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 such Holder together with any Affiliates)
and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall
be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a
Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination
of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other
securities owned by such 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 such 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 such 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
such Holder, at the election of such 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 such 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.
7
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. i. 21
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 certificate or certificates representing the
Conversion Shares which, on or after the Effective Date or the
date when the conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule
144, 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. On or
after the Effective Date, 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, 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
such 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
third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall
pay to such 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 such
Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The
exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from
seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof
or under applicable law.
8
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 such 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 such 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 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 150% of the aggregate number of
shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable upon
the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture. 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 the
Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities
Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such
Registration Statement.
9
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 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.
10
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.
11
f) Effective Date Adjustment. On the Effective Date, the Conversion Price
shall be immediately and permanently adjusted to equal the lesser of
(i) the then Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the average of the
Closing Prices on the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the
Effective Date.
g) Registration Failure Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any of the
following events, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as follows:
(i) if the initial Registration Statement registering all
Registrable Securities is not effective on or before February 20,
2008, the then Conversion Price applicable to an amount of Conversion
Shares equal to the 144 Amount shall be immediately and permanently
adjusted to equal the lesser of (i) the then Conversion Price and (ii)
80% of the average of the 3 lowest Closing Prices during the 10
Trading Days immediately preceding February 20, 2008;
(ii) if the initial Registration Statement registering all
Registrable Securities is not effective on or before April 20, 2008,
the Conversion Price applicable to an amount of Conversion Shares
equal to the 144 Amount shall be immediately and permanently adjusted
to equal the lesser of (i) the then Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of
the average of the 3 lowest Closing Prices during the 10 Trading Days
immediately preceding April 20, 2008;
(iii) if the initial Registration Statement registering all
Registrable Securities is not effective on or before July 20, 2008,
the Conversion Price applicable to an amount of Conversion Shares
equal to the 144 Amount shall be immediately and permanently adjusted
to equal the lesser of (i) the then Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of
the average of the 3 lowest Closing Prices during the 10 Trading Days
immediately preceding July 20, 2008;
(iv) if the initial Registration Statement registering all
Registrable Securities is not effective on or before October 20, 2008,
the Conversion Price applicable to an amount of Conversion Shares
equal to the 144 Amount shall be immediately and permanently adjusted
to equal the lesser of (i) the then effective Conversion Price and
(ii) 80% of the average of the 3 lowest Closing Prices during the 10
Trading Days immediately preceding October 20, 2008; and
(v) if the initial Registration Statement registering all
Registrable Securities is not effective on or before February 20,
2009, the Conversion Price shall be immediately and permanently
adjusted to equal the lesser of (i) the then effective Conversion
Price and (ii) 80% of the average of the 3 lowest Closing Prices
during the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding February 20, 2009.
h) 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.
i) 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 mail 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. If the Company
enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition
thereon 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.
12
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.
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 30th
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 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. If any of the Equity Conditions shall cease
to be satisfied at any time during the 30 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.
13
b) 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 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.
Section 7. Negative Covenants. As long as any portion of this Debenture
remains outstanding, unless Purchasers holding in the aggregate at least 75% of
the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures shall otherwise consent
in writing, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
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;
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
of directors approval); or
14
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) liquidated damages and other amounts owing to a
Holder on any Debenture, as and when the same shall become due

by acceleration or otherwise) which default, solely in the case
of an other default under clause (B) above, 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 the earlier to occur of (A) 5 Trading Days after
notice of such failure sent by the Holder or by any other Holder
and (B) 10 Trading Days after the Company has become or should
have become aware of 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

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 40% 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. a Registration Statement shall not have been declared effective
by the Commission on or prior to the 180th calendar day after the
Closing Date;
15
x. if, during the Effectiveness Period (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), either (a) the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement lapses for any reason or (b) the
Holder shall not be permitted to resell Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the
Registration Statement for a period of more than 20 consecutive
Trading Days or 30 non-consecutive Trading Days during any 12
month period; provided, however, that if the Company is
negotiating a merger, consolidation, acquisition or sale of all
or substantially all of its assets or a similar transaction and,
in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, the
Registration Statement would be required to be amended to include
information concerning such pending transaction(s) or the parties
thereto which information is not available or may not be publicly
disclosed at the time, the Company shall be permitted an
additional 10 consecutive Trading Days during any 12 month period
pursuant to this Section 8(a)(x);
xi. the Company shall fail for any reason to deliver certificates
(which, on or after the Effective Date or the date when the
conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, shall be
free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than
those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement)) to a
Holder prior to the fifth Trading Day after a 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
xii. 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 $100,000,
and such judgment, writ or similar final process shall remain
unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 45 calendar days.
16
b) Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, 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 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 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.
17

which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of,
liquidated damages on this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and

debt obligation of the Company. This Debenture ranks pari passu with
all other Debentures now or hereafter issued under the terms set forth
herein.

lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated

Debenture so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon
receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such
Debenture, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the

18
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 constitute good and sufficient service
of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other
manner 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
hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to
enforce any provisions of 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.
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 impeded 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.
19
g) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder
