Section
2. Interest.
a) Payment of Interest in Cash
or Kind. At the Closing, the Company prepaid the Holder the
first year’s interest by means of an original issue discount. The
Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture at the rate of 6% per annum
beginning on the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date until the day
immediately prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date,
increasing to 7% per annum from the second anniversary of the Original Issue
Date, payable on a monthly basis on the fifteenth day of each month, beginning
on the fifteenth day of the 13th month after the Original Issue Date, on each
Conversion Date (as to that principal amount then being converted) and on the
Maturity Date (except that, if any such date is not a Business Day, then such
payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, an
“Interest Payment
Date”), in cash or duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Interest Conversion Rate (the
amount to be paid in shares, the “Interest Share
Amount”), or a combination thereof; provided, however,
that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 8(vi) of the 2008

Period”) and through and including the date such shares of Common Stock
are issued to the Holder all of the Equity Conditions have been met (unless
waived by the Holder in writing), (ii) the Company shall have given the
Holder notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth below and
(iii) as to such Interest Payment Date, prior to such Interest Notice
Period (but not more than 5 Trading Days prior to the commencement of such
Interest Notice Period), the Company shall have delivered to the Holder’s
account with The Depository Trust Company a number of shares of Common Stock to
be applied against such Interest Share Amount equal to the quotient of
(x) the amount of the interest payment to be made in shares of Common Stock
divided by (y) the lesser of (A) the then Conversion Price or (b) 80% of
the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the sixth
Trading Day prior to the commencement of the applicable Interest Notice Period
(subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or
other similar event affecting the Common Stock during such 20 Trading Day
period) (the “Interest
Conversion Shares”).
b) Company’s Election to Pay
Interest in Kind. Subject to the terms and conditions herein,
the decision whether to pay interest hereunder in cash or shares of Common Stock
shall be at the discretion of the Company. Prior to the commencement
of any Interest Notice Period, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written
notice of its election to pay interest hereunder on the applicable Interest
Payment Date either in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof and
the Interest Share Amount as to the applicable Interest Payment Date, provided
that the Company may indicate in such notice that the election contained in such
notice shall apply to future Interest Payment Dates until revised by a
subsequent notice. During any Interest Notice Period, the Company’s
election (whether specific to an Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be
irrevocable as to such Interest Payment Date. Subject to the
aforementioned conditions, failure to timely provide such written notice shall
be deemed an election by the Company to pay the interest on such Interest
Payment Date in cash. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
otherwise issuable to the Holder on an Interest Payment Date shall be reduced by
the number of Interest Conversion Shares previously issued to the Holder in
connection with such Interest Payment Date.
8
c) Interest
Calculations. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
365-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until
payment in full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder,
has been made. Payment of interest in shares of Common Stock (other
than the Interest Conversion Shares issued prior to an Interest Notice Period)
shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) herein and, solely for
purposes of the payment of interest in shares, the Interest Payment Date shall
be deemed the Conversion Date. Interest shall cease to accrue with
respect to any principal amount converted, provided that the Company actually
delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section
4(d)(ii). Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name
this Debenture is registered on the records of the Company regarding
registration and transfers of this Debenture (the “Debenture
Register”). Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any
time the Company pays interest partially in cash and partially in shares of
Common Stock to the holders of the Debentures, then such payment shall be
distributed ratably among the holders of the then-outstanding Debentures based
on their (or their predecessor’s) principal amount of Debentures held on the
date of the 2008 Settlement Agreement.
d) Late
Fee. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid
hereunder shall entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 12%
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (“Late Fees”) which
shall accrue daily from the date such interest is due hereunder through and
including the date of payment in full. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if on any Interest Payment Date the Company has
elected to pay accrued interest in the form of Common Stock but the Company is
not able to pay accrued interest in Common Stock because it fails to satisfy the
conditions for payment in Common Stock set forth above, then, at the option of
the Holder, the Company, in lieu of delivering either shares of Common Stock
pursuant to this Section 2 or paying the regularly scheduled interest payment in
cash, shall deliver, within three Trading Days of each applicable Interest
Payment Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of
shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Holder in connection with
the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date multiplied by
(y) the highest VWAP during the period commencing on the Interest Payment
Date and ending on the Trading Day prior to the date such payment is
made. If any Interest Conversion Shares are issued to the Holder in
connection with an Interest Payment Date and are not applied against an Interest
Share Amount, then the Holder shall promptly return such excess shares to the
Company.
e) Prepayment. Except
as otherwise set forth in this Debenture, the Company may prepay any portion of
the principal amount of this Debenture without the prior written consent of the
Holder.
Section
3. Registration of Transfers
and Exchanges.
a) Different
Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable for an equal
aggregate principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.
9
b) Investment
Representations. This Debenture has been issued subject to
certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the
Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with
the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and
regulations.
c) Reliance on Debenture
Register. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company
of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person
in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the
owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all
other purposes, whether or not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the
Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
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 (a
“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) and shall make appropriate
notations on the Conversion Schedule attached hereto as Schedule
1. 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 $2.00
(subject to adjustment herein) (the “Conversion
Price”).

c) Conversion
Limitations.

Conversion Date (A) in connection with any Debentures issued pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, (B) in connection with any Warrants issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (C) in connection with any

number of shares, the “Issuable
Maximum”). Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of
the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(x) the aggregate principal amount of the Debenture(s) issued and
sold to such Holder on the Original Issue Date by (y) the aggregate
principal amount of all Debentures issued and sold by the Company on the
Original Issue Date. If any Holder shall no longer hold the
Debenture(s), then such Holder’s remaining portion of the Issuable
Maximum, if any, shall be allocated pro-rata among the remaining
Holders. If, on any Conversion Date, (1) the applicable
Conversion Price is such that the shares issuable under this Debenture on
such Conversion Date, together with the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that would then be issuable upon conversion in full of all
then outstanding Debentures, would exceed the Issuable Maximum and
(2) the Company shall not have previously obtained Shareholder
Approval, then the Company shall issue to the Holder requesting a
conversion a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such Holder’s
pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof)
of the Issuable Maximum and, with respect to the remainder of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (including any accrued
interest) then held by such Holder for which a conversion in accordance
with the applicable Conversion Price would result in an issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of such Holder’s pro-rata portion (which shall
be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof) of the Issuable Maximum (the
“Excess
Principal”), the Company shall be prohibited from converting such
Excess Principal and shall promptly notify the Holder of the reason
therefor. This Debenture shall thereafter be unconvertible to such extent
until and unless Shareholder Approval is subsequently obtained, but this
Debenture shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. The
Holder acknowledges and agrees that shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion hereof or exercise of the Warrants are not eligible to vote in
connection with the Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of
this Section 4(c)(i) shall apply only to the extent that Shareholder
Approval is required by the rules of any Trading Market or of the “Pink
Sheets” on which the Common Stock is then listed or
quoted.

11
ii.
|
Holder’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)(ii),
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)(ii) 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)(ii),
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-Q) or Form 10-KSB (or Form 10-K), 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.
|
12
|
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)(ii) 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)(ii) 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)(ii) 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.
|
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.
|
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 Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive
legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be
required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of
Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture
(including, if the Company has given continuous notice pursuant to Section
2(b) for payment of interest in shares of Common Stock at least 20 Trading
Days prior to the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered to the
Company, shares of Common Stock representing the payment of accrued
interest otherwise determined pursuant to Section 2(a) but assuming that
the Interest Notice Period is the 20 Trading Days period immediately prior
to the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company and
excluding for such issuance the condition that the Company deliver
Interest Conversion Shares as to such interest payment) and (B) a
bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Company
has elected or is required to pay accrued interest in cash). On or after
the 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.
|
13
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 after such third Trading Day, but 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 120% 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; provided,
however that if the Holder rescinds or withdraws such conversion
notice such liquidated damages shall cease to continue to accrue after
such date. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’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.
|
14
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) 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 Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely
deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
|
vi.
|
Reservation of Shares
Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it
will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon
conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture,
each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other
holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares
of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the 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 and shall be freely tradeable
without restriction under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.
|
15
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, or payment of
interest on, this Debenture); (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.
16
b) Subsequent Equity
Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, sells or grants any
option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice its securities, 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 the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the
applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion
price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the
Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon
the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a
number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the
date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately
refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.
c) Subsequent Rights
Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Debenture is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date
referenced below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so
offered (assuming delivery to the Company in full of all consideration payable
upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such
VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants
are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or
warrants.
17
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.
18
f) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this
Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and
outstanding.
g) Notice to the
Holder.
i.
|
Adjustment to
Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is
adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall
promptly 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 issues a variable
rate security, 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 or exercise price at which
such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable
Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement).
|
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.
|
19
Section
6. Redemption and Forced
Conversion.
a) Monthly
Redemption. On each Monthly Redemption Date, the Company shall
redeem the Monthly Redemption Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest,
liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing to such Holder in respect of
this Debenture (the “Monthly
Redemption”). The Monthly Redemption Amount payable on each
Monthly Redemption Date shall be paid in cash; provided, however, as
to any Monthly Redemption and upon 20 Trading Days’ prior written irrevocable
notice (the “Monthly
Redemption Notice” and the 20 Trading Day period immediately following
the Monthly Redemption Notice, the “Monthly Redemption
Period”), in lieu of a cash redemption payment the Company may elect to
pay all or part of a Monthly Redemption Amount in Conversion Shares (such dollar
amount to be paid on a Monthly Redemption Date in Conversion Shares, the “Monthly Redemption Share
Amount”) based on a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the
then Conversion Price or (ii) 88% of the average of the VWAPs for the 20
consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to
the applicable Monthly Redemption Date (subject to adjustment for any stock
dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar event affecting the
Common Stock during such 20 Trading Day period) (the price calculated during the
20 Trading Day period immediately prior to the Monthly Redemption Date, the
“Monthly Conversion
Price” and such 20 Trading Day period, the “Monthly Conversion
Period”); provided, further,
that the Company may not pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in Conversion Shares
unless (y) except as otherwise provided in Section 8(vi) of the 2008
Settlement Agreement, from the date the Holder receives the duly delivered
Monthly Redemption Notice through and until the date such Monthly Redemption is
paid in full, the Equity Conditions have been satisfied, unless waived in
writing by the Holder, and (z) as to such Monthly Redemption, prior to such
Monthly Redemption Period (but not more than 5 Trading Days prior to the
commencement of the Monthly Redemption Period), the Company shall have delivered
to the Holder’s account with The Depository Trust Company a number of shares of
Common Stock to be applied against such Monthly Redemption Share Amount equal to
the quotient of (x) the applicable Monthly Redemption Share Amount divided
by (y) the lesser of (A) the then Conversion Price or (b) 88% of the
average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the sixth
Trading Day prior to the commencement of the applicable Monthly Redemption
Period (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock
combination or other similar event affecting the Common Stock during such 20
Trading Day period) (the “Pre-Redemption Conversion
Shares”). The Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 4(a),
any principal amount of this Debenture subject to a Monthly Redemption at any
time prior to the date that the Monthly Redemption Amount, plus accrued but
unpaid interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing to the
Holder are due and paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated by the
Holder in the applicable Notice of Conversion, any principal amount of this
Debenture converted during the applicable Monthly Redemption Period until the
date the Monthly Redemption Amount is paid in full shall be first applied to the
principal amount subject to the Monthly Redemption Amount payable in cash and
then to the Monthly Redemption Share Amount. Any principal amount of
this Debenture converted during the applicable Monthly Redemption Period in
excess of the Monthly Redemption Amount shall be applied against the last
principal amount of this Debenture scheduled to be redeemed hereunder, in
reverse time order from the Maturity Date; provided, however, if
any such conversion is applied against such Monthly Redemption Amount, the
Pre-Redemption Conversion Shares, if any were issued in connection with such
Monthly Redemption or were not already applied to such conversions, shall be
first applied against such conversion. The Company covenants and
agrees that it will honor all Notice of Conversions tendered up until such
amounts are paid in full. The Company’s determination to pay a
Monthly Redemption in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof
shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding
Debentures based on their (or their predecessor’s) principal amount of
Debentures held on the date of the 2008 Settlement Agreement.
20
b) Optional Redemption at
Election of Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section
6, at any time after the 12-month anniversary of 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
Debentures for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the
20th Trading Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the
“Optional Redemption Date” 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 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,
each of the Equity Conditions shall have been met. If any of the
Equity Conditions shall cease to be satisfied at any time during the 20 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.
c) Redemption
Procedure. The payment of cash or issuance of Common Stock, as
applicable, pursuant to an Optional Redemption or Monthly Redemption shall be
made on the Optional Redemption Date or Monthly Redemption Date, as
applicable. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional
Redemption or Monthly Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by the
applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon until such amount is paid in
full at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything herein
contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount or
Monthly Redemption Amount, as applicable remains unpaid after such date, the
Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter,
to invalidate ab
initio such redemption, 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.
21
d) Forced
Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if after the six month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Closing Price for
each Trading Day during any consecutive 20 calendar days, which period shall
have commenced only after the six month anniversary of the Effective Date, such
period the (“Threshold
Period”) exceeds $15.00 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward
stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions
of the Common Stock that occur after the Original Issue Date) and the average
daily volume for such Threshold Period exceeds 100,000 shares of Common Stock
per Trading Day (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits,
recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after the Original Issue Date),
the Company may, within 1 Trading Day after the end of any such Threshold
Period, deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “Forced Conversion
Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to the Holder, the “Forced Conversion Notice
Date”) to cause the Holder to convert up to 50% of the then outstanding
principal amount of Debentures plus, if so specified in the Forced Conversion
Notice, accrued but unpaid interest, it being agreed that the “Conversion Date”
for purposes of Section 4 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day
following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “Forced Conversion
Date”). The Company may not deliver a Forced Conversion
Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Company shall not be
effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions are met on each Trading Day
occurring during the applicable Threshold Period through and including the later
of the Forced Conversion Date and the Trading Day after the date such Conversion
Shares pursuant to such conversion are delivered to the
Holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
may only deliver an additional Forced Conversion Notice provided that such
second Forced Conversion Notice Date is at least 13 months following the
Original Issue Date and each Forced Conversion Notice is dependent on a separate
Threshold Period from a prior Forced Conversion Notice. Any Forced
Conversion shall be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial
purchases of Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that any
voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder’s
pro-rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted
hereunder if only a portion of this Debenture is forcibly
converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall
be subject to all of the provisions of Section 4, including, without limitation,
the provision requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on
conversions.
Section
7. Negative
Covenants. As long as 20% of the aggregate principal amount of
all Debentures issued on the Original Issue Date remain outstanding, the Company
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, without the prior written consent of the holders of all Debentures
then outstanding (provided, however, that if the principal amount of a holder’s
Debenture is less $50,000, such holder’s consent shall not be
required):
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;

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), (c) repurchases of Common
Stock pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Stock Repurchase Program; and
(d) repurchases of up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock that are subject to
Rule 144, from former controlling shareholders of entities acquired by the
Company that are not Affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
provided that (i) the per share purchase price of such shares shall not
exceed $6.50 and (ii) such repurchased shares are retired to
treasury.
e) enter
into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing; or
f) pay cash
dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company.
At such
time that less than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all Debentures
issued on the Original Issue Date remain outstanding, the Company shall no
longer be subject to the negative covenants set forth in this Section 7 above or
be required to obtain prior written consent of the holders of the Debentures to
take the foregoing actions.

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

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

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

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.
27

hereof.

Debenture, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest
