Dated: October 19, 2001
CONSTELLATION 3D, INC.
5% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE OCTOBER 1, 2006
This Debenture ("Debenture") is one of a duly authorized issue of
Debentures of CONSTELLATION 3D, INC. (the "Company"), a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, designated as
the Company's 5% Convertible Debentures Due October 1, 2006, in an aggregate
principal amount of One Million Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000) (the "Debentures").
For Value Received, the Company promises to pay to XXXX CONVERTIBLE
ARBITRAGE FUND LTD., the initial holder hereof, or its order (including
successors-in-interest, the "Holder"), the principal sum of One Million Dollars
(U.S. $1,000,000) on October 1, 2006 (the "Maturity Date") and to pay interest
on the principal sum outstanding under this Debenture ("Outstanding Principal
Amount"), at the rate of 5% per annum, compounded semi-annually, payable in
arrears on the last day of March and September of each year and on the Maturity
Date (each an "Interest Payment Date"), with the first such payment due on March
31, 2002. Interest shall accrue daily commencing on the date hereof and shall
continue until payment in full of all amounts due under this Debenture. The
interest so payable will be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture is
registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of
the Debenture (the "Debenture Register"). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Debenture Purchase
Agreement dated as of October 19, 2001 entered into by the Company and the
Holder (the "Purchase Agreement").
The interest on this Debenture is payable, at the Company's option:
(a) in such coin or currency of the United States which as of the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the
address last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in
writing by the Holder hereof from time to time; or
(b) subject, to the conditions set forth below, by paying the amount in
shares of Common Stock, with certificates for such shares (the "Interest
Shares") to be delivered to the Holder on the Interest Payment Date. The number
of Interest Shares shall be determined by dividing the interest amount by 95% of
the average Market Price for shares of Common Stock for the five (5) Trading
Days immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date ("Interest Conversion
Price"). The Company's ability to pay interest with Interest Shares is subject
to the condition that there is Effective Registration (as defined in of the
Purchase Agreement) with respect to the Interest Shares and all the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversation of this Debenture.
In the event that the Interest Shares are not delivered to Holder
within 3 Trading Days of the Interest Payment Date the interest shall be
automatically due and payable in cash pursuant to paragraph (a) above, or, in
the sole option of the Holder, shall be added to the Outstanding Principal
Amount of this Debenture.
Except as herein provided for interest, all amounts payable under this
Debenture shall be paid as provided in clause (a) above.
The Company shall exercise its option regarding its payment of interest
hereunder by delivering an irrevocable statement in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto
---------
("Payment Statement") at least five (5) Trading Days prior to the applicable
Interest Payment Date. Each Payment Statement shall be applicable for the
immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date only. If the Payment Statement is
not timely delivered to the Holder as provided herein, the payment with respect
to such Interest Payment Date shall be in cash.
The Company will pay any principal due and all accrued and unpaid interest
due upon this Debenture to the person that is the Holder of this Debenture on
the records of the Company as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and
addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the Debenture
Register.
The Outstanding Principal Xxxxxx and interest due hereunder shall bear
interest, from and after the day following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, at the per annum rate equal to the
lower of the Citibank Prime Rate per annum plus six percent (6%) and the highest
rate permitted by law (the "Default Rate"). The Holder shall have the option to
receive such interest as cash interest, Interest Shares or by adding such
interest to the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Debenture, and shall
exercise its option by delivering to the Company a statement in a form
substantially similar to the Payment Statement which shall be effective until
the Holder delivers an additional statement to the contrary. The interest shall
be payable on demand.
Subject to applicable law, any interest otherwise payable that is not paid
for any applicable period because it would exceed the highest rate permitted by
law shall become
2
payable whenever the payment thereof, together with other interest due for any
such subsequent period, would not exceed such highest legal rate.

pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. This
Debenture does not provide voting rights to the Holder.

5. Conversion at the Option of the Holder. The Holder of this Debenture
--------------------------------------
shall have the following conversion rights:
(a) Xxxxxx's Right to Convert. The Holder shall have the right, at its
-------------------------
option, at any time and from time to time to convert the Conversion Amount under
this Debenture in whole or in part by delivering to the Company a fully executed
notice of conversion in the form of the conversion notice attached hereto as
Exhibit 2 (the "Conversion Notice"), which may be transmitted by facsimile.
---------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Debenture and the
Conversion Amount hereunder shall not be convertible into Common Stock to the
extent that such conversion would result in the Holder hereof exceeding the
limitations contained in, or otherwise violating the provisions of, Section 11
below or the 20% Cap (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
(b) Common Stock Issuance Upon Conversion.
-------------------------------------
(i) Conversion Date Procedures. Upon conversion of this
--------------------------
Debenture, the Conversion Amount hereunder shall be
converted into such number of fully paid, validly issued and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free of any liens,
claims and encumbrances, as is determined by dividing the
Conversion Amount being converted by the then applicable
Conversion Price. The date of any Conversion Notice
hereunder shall be referred to herein as the "Conversion
Date". If a conversion hereunder cannot be effected in full
for any reason, or if the Holder is converting less than all
of the entire Conversion Amount hereunder pursuant to a
Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the
Holder (but no later than three Trading Days after the
Conversion Date) a
6
Debenture for such Conversion Amount as has not been
converted if this Debenture has been surrendered to the
Company for partial conversion. The Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Debenture to the
Company unless the full Conversion Amount is being
converted. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records
showing the Conversion Amount and the Outstanding Principal
Amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or
shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical
surrender of this Debenture upon each such conversion.
(ii) Stock Certificates or DWAC. The Company will deliver to the
--------------------------
Holder not later than three Trading Days after the
Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates representing
the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion of this Debenture. In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, if the Company's
transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST")
program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause
its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares
issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by
crediting the account of the Holder's (or such designee's)
prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system. If in the case of any conversion
hereunder, such certificate or certificates are not
delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the third
Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be
entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or
before its receipt of such certificate or certificates
thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the
Company shall immediately return this Debenture if it was
tendered for conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to
the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this
Section in accordance herewith prior to the fifth Trading
Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the
Holder, in cash, an amount equal to 2% of the Conversion
Amount per month, payable on such fifth Trading Day and at
the expiration of each thirty-day period thereafter.
(c) Forced Conversion.
-----------------
(i) Subject to subsection (ii) below, after the Registration
Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
is declared effective, in the event that the VWAP is greater
than 200% of the then effective Conversion Price during any
period of at least twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days
(such 20 consecutive Trading Day period being referred to as
the "Measuring Period"),
7
the Company shall have the right to compel holders of
Debentures (on a pro rata basis among holders of
Debentures) to convert all or a portion of their
Debentures at the Conversion Price in effect on the
conversion date; provided, however, that (1) the Company
--------
shall provide at least 5 Trading Days prior irrevocable
written notice to all holders of its election hereunder,
specifying the conversion date ("Forced Conversion Date")
and the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be
converted, (2) the VWAP shall equal or exceed the
Conversion Price at the time of such election notice and
on each Trading Day thereafter through and including the
Forced Conversion Date, (3) the Company's election notice
shall have been received by the Holder no later than 2
Trading Days following the end of the applicable Measuring
Period, and (4) holders of Debentures may continue to
convert any or all of their Debentures after receiving the
Company's election notice under this Section (which
conversions shall be applied against the aggregate
principal amount of Debentures required to be converted on
the Forced Conversion Date). Such forced conversion shall
be subject to and governed by all the provisions relating
to voluntary conversion of the Debentures contained
herein.
(ii) Conditions Precedent. Notwithstanding the preceding
--------------------
subsection (i), no holder of Debentures shall be obligated
to convert any portion of the Debentures held by such
holder on the Forced Conversion Date unless and until each
of the following conditions has been satisfied or exists,
each of which shall be a condition precedent to any such
forced conversion of Debentures (waivable by any holder
with respect to such holder's Debentures only):
(A) There shall be Effective Registration at all times from
the first Trading Day of the applicable Measuring Period
through and including the Forced Conversion Date;
(B) There shall not have occurred a Change in Control
Transaction or the public announcement of a pending Change
in Control Transaction which has not been abandoned or
terminated; and
(C) The total number of Common Shares issuable hereunder
(regardless of any limitations contained herein) shall
have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance.
6. Stock Splits; Stock Dividends; Adjustments; Reorganizations.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(a) Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. If the Company, at any time
----------------------------------
while the Debentures are outstanding, shall (i) pay a stock dividend or
otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities
(including investments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
equity securities) in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the
8
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the
Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of an issuance,
subdivision or combination.
(b) Common Stock Issuances. In the event that the Company issues or
----------------------
sells any shares of Common Stock or securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for its Common Stock or any convertible securities, or any warrants
or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the purchase
of its Common Stock or any such convertible securities (other than (A) shares or
options issued or which may be issued pursuant to (i) the Company's current or
future employee or director option plans or shares issued upon exercise of
options, warrants, rights or convertible notes or debentures outstanding on the
date of the Agreement and listed in the Company's most recent periodic report
filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) arrangements with the Purchaser, (iii)
acquisitions of other entities by the Company, or (iv) settlements of the
Company's existing accounts payable to its trade creditors; provided, that the
--------
amounts due under such settled accounts payable shall not exceed $100,000 per
trade creditor or (B) sales of Common Stock (in one or more tranches to the same
or different purchasers) with an aggregate Market Price of less than $100,000 at
the time they are sold) at an effective exercise price per share ("Effective
Price") which is less than the then current Market Price or the Conversion Price
then in effect, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issue or sale shall be reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to
an amount determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company
for such additional shares would purchase at the Market Price or Conversion
Price then in effect, as the case may be; and (y) the denominator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately
after such issue or sale.
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of the
issuance of any convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock
("Convertible Securities"), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities
shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be
made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or
conversion of such Convertible Securities.
For purposes of the Section 6(b), if an event occurs which triggers
more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall
be made and the calculation method that yields the greatest downward adjustment
in the Conversion Price shall be used.
(c) Reclassification. In the event that at any time or from time to
----------------
time after the Closing Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
the Debentures is changed
9
into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock,
whether by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend
or reorganization provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), then and as a
condition to each such event, provision shall be made in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the Holders of Debentures so that each Holder of Debentures shall
have the right thereafter to convert such Debenture into the kind of stock
receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by
holders of shares of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided
herein. In such event, the formula set forth herein for conversion shall be
equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a
new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or
classes of stock (applying the same factors used in determining the Conversion
Price) issued in connection with the above described transaction.
(d) Notice. Whenever any element of the Conversion Price is
------
adjusted pursuant to this Section 6, the Company shall promptly mail to each
Holder of Debentures a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(e) Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a
-----------
record date of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or
other distribution, any security or right convertible or exchangeable into or
entitling the holder thereof to receive additional shares of Common Stock, or
any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of
any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
the Company shall deliver to each Holder of Debentures at least 10 days prior to
the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, security
or right and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, security
or right.
(f) Distributions. If the Company, at any time while the Debentures
-------------
are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Shares of Common Stock
evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Section 6(c) above)
then the Holder shall participate in such distribution on a pro rata basis with
the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend,
distribution, issuance, subdivision or combination as if the Holder held that
number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have been entitled to
receive hereunder upon conversion of the Debenture (without regard to Section 11
or the 20% Cap (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) immediately prior to the
record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
dividend, at the Conversion Price then in existence.
(g) Additional Debentures. If the Company, at any time while the
---------------------
Debentures are outstanding, issues one or more additional Debentures pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement (regardless of whether such issuance is made to the
Holder of this Debenture) with a conversion price that is lower than the then
current Conversion Price of this Debenture, the Conversion Price of this
Debenture shall be automatically reduced to equal the lowest conversion price of
such additional Debentures.
10
7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip
-----------------
representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable hereunder. The
number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon any conversion shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole share.
8. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.
---------------------------------------------
(a) Reservation Requirement. The Company covenants that it will at
-----------------------
all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common
Stock solely for the purpose of the payment of Interest Shares and issuance upon
conversion of the Debentures as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or
any other present or contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
Holders of the Debentures, 125% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 6 hereof)
upon the conversion of all of the Debentures pursuant hereto. The Company
covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall upon
issuance, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable.
(b) Deficiency. If the Company does not have a sufficient number of
----------
shares of Common Stock available to satisfy the Company's obligations to a
Holder of Debentures upon receipt of a Conversion Notice or is otherwise unable
to issue such shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement such Holder shall be entitled to the rights and remedies set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement.
9. No Reissuance of the Debenture. No Debentures acquired by the Company
------------------------------
by reason of conversion, redemption, purchase, exchange or otherwise shall be
reissued, and all such Debentures shall be retired.
10. No Impairment. The Company shall not knowingly and intentionally take
-------------
any action which would impair the rights and privileges of the Debentures set
forth herein or the Holders thereof.
11. Limitations on Holder's Right to Convert.
----------------------------------------
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon
conversion of this Debenture pursuant to the terms hereof shall not exceed a
number that, when added to the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed
beneficially owned by such Holder (other than by virtue of the ownership of
securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the holder's
right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth
herein), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned at
such time (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to
acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or
purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) by the Holder's
"affiliates" (as defined in Rule 144 of the 1933 Act) ("Aggregation Parties")
that would be aggregated for purposes of determining whether a group under
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, exists, would exceed 9.99% of the total
issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock (the "Restricted Ownership
Percentage"). Each Holder shall have the right (i) at any time and from time to
time to reduce its Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to
the Company
11
and (ii) (subject to waiver) at any time and from time to time, to increase its
Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately in the event of the announcement as
pending or planned, of a Change of Control Transaction.
(b) The Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock which
would exceed such limits referred to in this Section 11 shall be suspended to
the extent necessary until such time, if any, as shares of Common Stock may be
issued in compliance with such restrictions.
12. Obligations Absolute. No provision of this Debenture, the Purchase
--------------------
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, and interest and delay payments on, this Debenture or to issue
shares of Common Stock in response to a Conversion Notice at the time, place and
rate, and in the manner, herein prescribed, except that if the Company disputes
the Holder's calculation of the number of shares to be issued upon a conversion,
the Company shall deliver to Holder the number of shares not in dispute and the
parties shall have the calculation dispute resolved by a third party mutually
acceptable to them.
13. Waivers of Demand, Etc. The Company hereby expressly and irrevocably
----------------------
waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice
of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate,
bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called
for hereunder and will be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all
sums owing and to be owing hereon, regardless of and without any notice,
diligence, act or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount
called for hereunder.
14. Replacement Debenture. In the event that any Holder notifies the

and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and
assigns.

---------
delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any
right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any
other right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy or power hereby
granted to the Holder or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holder

other equity or debt security pursuant to Section 6.
23. Notices. The Company shall distribute to the Holders of Debentures
-------
copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly reports, proxy
statements, information statements and any other documents distributed generally
to the holders of shares of Common Stock, at such times and by such method as

without such Holder's prior written consent.
24. Specific Enforcement. The Company agrees that irreparable damage would
--------------------
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Debenture were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It
is accordingly agreed that the Holders of Debentures shall be entitled to
specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies to prevent
or cure breaches of the provisions of this Debenture and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to
which any of them may be entitled under agreement, at law or in equity.
25. Miscellaneous. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other
-------------
communication to a party hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and
personally delivered, facsimiled or mailed to said party by certified mail,
