other purposes, whether or not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the
Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section
4. Conversion.
a) Voluntary Conversion.
At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer
outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into
shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to
time. The Holder 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. 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.
5
b) Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date
shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $0.025 per share of Common Stock or (z)
until the eighteen (18) months anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the
lowest price paid per share (other than in connection with any
Excepted Issuance (as defined below)) or the lowest conversion price
per share (other than in connection with any Excepted Issuance) in a subsequent
sale of the Company’s equity and/or convertible debt securities paid by
investors after the Original Issue Date (the “Conversion
Price”).
c) Maximum
Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert this
Debenture on any conversion date, in connection with that number of shares of
Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an
exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the determination of this
limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial
ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock on such date. For the purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Rule 13d-3
thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited
to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than
4.99%. The restriction described in this paragraph may be
waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the
Holder to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%, but not in
excess of 9.99%. The Holder may decide whether to convert a Debenture
or exercise a Warrant to achieve an actual 4.99% or up to 9.99% ownership
position as described above, but not in excess of 9.99%.
d)
Mechanics of
Conversion.
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 six month anniversary of the Original Issue 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. On or after the six
month anniversary of the Original Issue 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(d) electronically through the Depository Trust
Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
6
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
to the Company the Common Stock certificates representing the principal amount
of this Debenture unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the
Company.
iv. Reservation of Shares
Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and
payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from
preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons
other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than
such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement) be issuable
(taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the
conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of
interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common
Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
v. 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.
vi. 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.
7
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 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.
c) 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.
8
d) 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, (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. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, a Fundamental Transaction shall not be deemed
to have occurred in connection with the execution or performance of the Purchase
Agreement.
e) 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.
9
f) 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. 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.
g) Excepted
Issuances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, no adjustment under this Agreement shall be made, and a Change of
Control shall not be deemed to have occurred, in the event of any issuance that
constitutes an Excepted Issuance (as defined below).

share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time (or
provide other value to such person or entity in connection with an equivalent
price issuance or Lower Price Issuance), without the consent of the Holders,

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

affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

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 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 Southern
District of New York (the “Courts”). Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
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 Courts,
or such 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

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.
14
e) Amendment;
Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be waived,
modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the
case of an amendment, by the Company and the Holders of at least 51% of the
Debentures then outstanding or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against
whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought.
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.
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 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.
15
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 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.
