of 6% per annum beginning on April 1, 2007 until March 31, 2008, increasing to
7% per annum beginning on March 31, 2008 until payment in full of the principal
sum has been made, payable on a monthly basis on the fifteenth day of each
month, on each Conversion Date and on the Maturity Date (except that, if any

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 Settlement Agreement,

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

against such Interest Share Amount equal to the quotient of (x) the amount of

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

Shares”).
8
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 unless waived by the Holder in writing. 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.
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 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.
9
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.
b) Investment
Representations. This Debenture has been issued on the basis that the
original Holder set forth above shall be deemed to have made certain investment
representations as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or
exchanged only in compliance with 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.
10
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.
i. Trading Market
Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, but subject to the provisions of this Section 4(c)(i), if the Company
has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company may
not issue, upon conversion of this Debenture, a number of shares of Common Stock
which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued on or after the
Original Issue Date and prior to such 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 warrants issued to any registered broker-dealer as a fee in connection with
the issuance of the Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would exceed
19.999% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Original Issue Date (such 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-Q or
Form 10-K, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company; or (C) a more
recent notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally
and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding.
12
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.

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 shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions,
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). 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. Intentionally
Omitted.
iv. Intentionally
Omitted.
v. 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.
vi. 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
vii. 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.
viii. 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
ix. 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.
x. 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 Original Issue Date, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder (an
“Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such
notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of
its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding 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 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 12 month
anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Closing Price for each Trading Day
during any consecutive 20 calendar days, which period shall have commenced only
after the 12 month anniversary of the Original Issue 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 18 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 the then current principal amount of the Debentures, 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 all amounts owing under this Debenture and
limitations on conversions.
Section
7. Negative Covenants.
As long as 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all Debentures 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;
22

assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of
its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein

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 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.

strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall
