(vi)
at such time as the Company shall have obtained Stockholder Approval, as defined in Section 1(B)(g) below for, but in no event later than December 31, 2004, shall be convertible, at any time at the option of a Purchaser, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Series F Conversion Shares”), at a price per share equal to $3.00 (the “Series F Preferred Conversion Price” or the “Conversion Price”); and
(vii)
be substantially in the form attached hereto at Exhibit A and made a part hereof.
(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing $3.00 per share Conversion Price, in the event that the “VWAP” (as defined) of Company Common Stock, as traded on the American Stock Exchange, LLC (the “AMEX”) or on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or the NASD OTC-Bulletin Board (together with the AMEX, a “National Securities Exchange”), shall be less than the $3.00 per share on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that notice of conversion is given to the Company by a Purchaser (the “Conversion Notice”), then, and in such event, such Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the “Escrowed Shares,” hereinafter defined, that number of additional shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Adjustment Shares”) as shall represent, together with the number of Series F Conversion Shares (inclusive of Series F Conversion Shares issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Option) issuable at the $3.00 per share Series F Preferred Conversion Price, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issuable on the Conversion Date if the Series F Conversion Price had been based upon 50% of the average VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date (the “Assumed Series F Preferred Conversion Price”); provided, that in no event would such Assumed Series F Preferred Conversion Price ever be less than $0.50 per share, except upon adjustment (the “Assumed Floor Price”). The term “VWAP” means the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common stock on the National Securities Exchange as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) using the VWAP function on the date in question.
A maximum of up to 39,916,666 Adjustment Shares of the Company are subject to potential issuance (i) up to a maximum of 25,000,000 of such Adjustment Shares to the holders of up to a maximum of $15,000,000 of 10% Notes, (ii) up to a maximum of 5,833,333 of such Adjustment Shares to the holders of $3,500,000 stated value of Series E convertible preferred stock hereinafter described (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), and (iii) up to a maximum of 9,083,333 of such Adjustment Shares to the Purchasers upon conversion of the maximum $5,450,000 stated value of Series F Senior Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, such maximum number of Adjustment Shares shall be subject to adjustment in the event that the Assumed Floor Price is lowered pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock. In the event that there are not a sufficient number of Escrowed Shares in escrow to issue all of the Adjustment Shares, then the Company shall have the obligation to issue to the applicable Purchaser the difference between (i) the number of Adjustment Shares issuable to such Purchaser if there was a sufficient number of Escrowed Shares and (ii) the number of Escrowed Shares issued to the Purchaser.
3
For the avoidance of doubt, if for example, a Purchaser sends a Conversion Notice to convert $1,000,000 of his or its Series F Senior Preferred Stock and the Assumed Series F Preferred Conversion Price (calculated based upon 50% of the average VWAP of Company, as traded on the AMEX or another National Securities Exchange, for the five trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date) shall be $1.00 per share, notwithstanding the $3.00 Series F Preferred Conversion Price set forth above and in the Certificate of Designations for the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, in addition to 333,333 Series F Conversion Shares, such Purchaser shall be entitled to receive out of the Escrowed Shares described below an additional 666,667 Adjustment Shares of Common Stock of the Company. In no event, however, would such Purchaser be entitled to receive more than 1,666,667 Adjustment Shares in such example, even if the Assumed Series F Preferred Conversion Price then in effect was less than $0.50, unless the Assumed Floor Price is lowered pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock.
(c)
To avoid further dilution to the Company if Adjustment Shares become issuable to holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, 10% Notes and Series E Preferred Stock, GMI Investment Partners, a principal stockholder of the Company, and their affiliates described in Section 1B below and the Company, have entered into an escrow agreement with XxXxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, LLP, as escrow agent for the holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock and with the attorneys for the holders of the 10% Notes and Series E Preferred Stock. Under the terms of such escrow agreement (the “Series G Preferred Stock Escrow Agreement”), an aggregate of 29,929 shares of the Company’s “Series G Preferred Stock” (described below) are being placed in escrow (the “Escrowed Shares”); which Escrowed Shares, including 9,083,333 Escrowed Shares being held for the benefit of the Purchasers, are automatically convertible into an aggregate of 39,916,666 shares of Common Stock of the Company by not later than December 31, 2004. The Purchasers hereby agree to the terms set forth in the Series G Escrow Agreement, including the appointment of XxXxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, as a Series G Preferred Stock Escrow Agent. In the event that the Assumed Series F Preferred Conversion Price shall be less than $3.00 per share on any Conversion Date, within three (3) Business Days after a Conversion Notice shall be delivered to counsel to the Company and to the Purchaser setting forth the calculation of the appropriate number of Escrowed Shares to be delivered to the Purchaser as Adjustment Shares, the Escrow Agents shall cause certificates evidencing such Adjustment Shares (up to the maximum 9,083,333 Adjustment Shares available to Purchasers) to be delivered to the Purchasers. Similar escrow arrangements are also available with counsel to the holders of 10% Notes and Series E Preferred Stock Any Escrowed Shares no longer subject to issuance as Adjustment Shares or otherwise remaining in escrow following conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding 10% Notes, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Senior Preferred Stock, shall be promptly returned to GMI Partners or its Affiliates.
(d)
The Series F Conversion Shares, any Adjustment Shares that a Purchaser may acquire at any time, and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants (the “Series F Warrant Shares”), are subject to limitation, so that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of which such Purchaser and all persons affiliated with such Purchaser have beneficial ownership (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities
4
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) does not at any time exceed 9.99% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock. The Warrants shall be deemed unexerciseable to the extent necessary to comply with this provision prior to any restriction being placed on the Purchaser’s right to receive Series F Conversion Shares or Adjustment Shares.
(e)

it is anticipated that an aggregate of 170,000,000 shares of Fully-Diluted Company Common Stock will be outstanding, before issuance of up to approximately 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to anti-dilution adjustment) that may be issued as Warrant Shares to holders of 10% Notes, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including Stockholder Approval and consummation of the iBill Acquisition), the Company will have (i) 250,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock of which approximately 17,000,000 shares will be issued and outstanding, prior to conversion of any Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock or Series G Preferred Stock; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized 475,450 of which shares will be issued and outstanding; (iii) 1,000 authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock of which no shares will be issued and outstanding; (iv)1,000 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock of which 1,000 shares will be issued and outstanding and will be convertible into up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock; (v) 10,000 authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock of which 10,000 shares will be issued and outstanding and will be convertible into up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock; (vi) 330,000 authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock of which 330,000 shares will be issued and outstanding and will be convertible into up to 85,000,000 shares of Common Stock; (vii) 35,000 authorized shares of Series E Preferred Stock of which 35,000 shares will be issued and outstanding and will be convertible into up to 1,166,666 shares of Common Stock (excluding Adjustment Shares); (viii) 54,500 authorized shares of Series F Preferred Stock of which 34,500 shares will be issued and outstanding and will be convertible into up to 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock (excluding Adjustment Shares); (ix) 45,000 authorized shares of Series G Preferred Stock of which 45,000 shares will be issued and outstanding and will be convertible into up to 68,000,000 shares of Common Stock, less a maximum of 7,983,333 Total Conversion Shares; and (x) since the date of its most recent Form 10-Q quarterly report, no additional shares of Common Stock will be issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and conversion rights in addition to those shares of Common Stock issuable in (iii) –(ix) above.
(g)
Stockholder Approval. Penthouse and other Company stockholders holding in excess of 50% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have provided the Company with irrevocable and unconditional written approvals and consents to all of the Transactions, including, without limitation (i) the transactions contemplated by the GMI Stock Purchase Agreement, (ii) consummation of the iBill Acquisition, (iii) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company that, inter alia, shall increase the authorized Common Stock to 250.0 million shares of Common Stock, (iv) the sale and issuance of the 10% Notes, the Warrants, the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, the Series G Preferred Stock, and the other Warrant Shares, and (v) all of the related transactions described herein (the “Stockholder Approval”). The term “Stockholder Approval” shall also include the filing and approval of a listing application for the additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the 10% Notes, the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series F
11
Senior Preferred Stock and the Series G Preferred Stock, in accordance with the rules of the AMEX. Such Stockholder Approval, in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders, are permissible under Delaware corporate law and pursuant to Section 705 and Section 712 of the rules and regulations of the AMEX. Following the Closing Date, the Company will, in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, file a Form 14C Information Statement with the SEC, describing the Transactions and, upon approval of such Information Statement, mail same to the Company stockholders. No further vote or approval is required of Company stockholders receiving such Information Statement. Accordingly, it is anticipated that the “Stockholder Approval” condition to the rights of holders of the 10% Notes, the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series F Senior Preferred Stock and the Series G Preferred Stock to convert such Securities into Common Stock, and the rights of holders of Warrants and other warrants to exercise such Securities will be obtained on or before November 30, 2004.
In the event that, for any reason, that an amended Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of Common Stock to 250.0 million is not filed by December 31, 2004 or all of the foregoing “Stockholder Approval” conditions are not satisfied by December 31, 2004, then the Company shall pay to the Purchasers in cash 2% of the $3,450,000 Purchase Price for the Series F Senior Preferred Stock for each month, or portion thereof, following December 31, 2004 that either of such conditions remain unsatisfied (provided, however, that to the extent that Castlerigg exercises its Exchange Option, the payment shall also be based on the purchase price of the Penthouse stock so exchanged). The Company has agreed to pay a similar penalty to the holders of the 10% Notes and the Series E Preferred Stock.
(h)
AMEX Approval. In August 2004, the Company announced its consummation of the acquisition of Media Billing Company, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Internet Billing Company LLC (“iBill”), pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement, dated July 22, 2004, as amended (the “iBill Purchase Agreement”). On September 20, 2004, the Company received a notice from the AMEX of its intention to de-list the Company’s Common Stock from trading on the AMEX, pending a hearing requested by the Company. The delisting notice stated, among other things, that the Company failed to furnish certain necessary information to the AMEX concerning iBill and that the iBill Acquisition raised certain public interest concerns. On September 23, 2004, the Company agreed to rescind the closing of the iBill Acquisition. However, the iBill Purchase Agreement continues to remain in full force and effect. As a result of its agreement to rescind the closing of the iBill Acquisition, pending the resolution of all listing eligibility issues and AMEX approvals, the staff of the AMEX agreed to withdraw its notice of intent to de-list the Company’s securities.
The Company shall use its best efforts to furnish the information requested by the AMEX on a timely basis and is hopeful that the staff of the AMEX will, upon receipt and review of such information, provide all necessary approvals for the iBill Acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfactorily resolve all listing issues or that it will receive all such AMEX approvals associated with the iBill transaction. However, if for any reason, AMEX approval has not been obtained by January 21, 2005, the Company will nevertheless close the iBill Acquisition, withdraw from the AMEX and seek to re-list its Common Stock on another National Securities Exchange.
12
Following receipt of the AMEX notice of delisting, on September 23, 2004, each of the Company, Penthouse and GMI Investment Partners entered into an agreement (the “September 23rd Agreement”) that provides that the iBill Acquisition will be consummated, all shares of the Company Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issuable to Penthouse upon consummation of the iBill Acquisition will be issued, and all of the Series D Preferred Stock will be converted into approximately 81.4 million shares of Company Common Stock, upon the earlier to occur of (i) AMEX Approval of the iBill Acquisition, or (ii) January 21, 2005. The Company has delivered to legal counsel to Penthouse, for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the earlier of AMEX Approval or January 21, 2005, a duly executed undated certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred Stock, containing no conditions to conversion of such securities into Common Stock.

Representations and Warranties of Each Purchaser. Each Purchaser hereby severally and not jointly represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a)
The Securities to be acquired by such Purchaser hereunder (including the Series F Senior Preferred Stock and the Series F Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion thereof, as the case may be) are being acquired for his its own account for investment and with no intention of distributing or reselling such Securities (including the Series F Senior Preferred Stock and the Series F Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be) or any part thereof or interest therein in any transaction
23
which would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any State. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prejudice or otherwise limit such Purchaser's right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Series F Senior Preferred Stock or Series F Conversion Shares under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any Person with respect to any of the Securities.
(b)
Such Purchaser understands that the Series F Senior Preferred Stock and the F Series F Conversion Shares and Adjustment Shares that may be acquired upon conversion of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (a) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and, if requested by the Company, based upon an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company) or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and (b) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.
Such Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as appropriate, of the following legend on the Securities (including the Series F Senior Preferred Stock the Series F Conversion Shares and any Adjustment Shares that he or it may acquire upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be):
The Securities evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred ("transferred") in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such Securities may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
A certificate shall not bear such legend (and the Purchaser shall be entitled to have such legend removed) if, the Series F Conversion Shares, the Adjustment Shares or the Dividend Shares, as the case may be are duly registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in the opinion of counsel for the Purchaser thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), the securities represented thereby are not, at such time required by law to bear a legend. The Series F Senior Preferred Stock, the Series F Conversion Shares and the Adjustment Shares shall also bear any other legends required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, which legends may be removed when in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the applicable securities laws, the same are no longer required under the applicable requirements of such securities laws. The Company agrees that it will provide each Purchaser, upon request, with a substitute certificate, not bearing such legend at such time as such legend is no longer applicable. Such Purchaser agrees that, in connection with any transfer of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock or the Series F Conversion Shares or the
24
Adjustment Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, such Purchaser will comply with all prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Company makes no representation, warranty or agreement as to the availability of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock or the Series F Conversion Shares or any Adjustment Shares.
(c)
Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser did not learn of the opportunity to purchase Series F Senior Preferred Stock or any other security issuable by the Company through any form of general advertising or public solicitation.
(d)
Such Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, having been represented by counsel, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e)
The purchase of the Securities to be purchased by such Purchaser (i) has been duly and properly authorized and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by him or it or on his or its behalf and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity; (ii) does not conflict with or violate its charter, by-laws or any law, regulation or court order applicable to him or it; and (iii) does not impose any penalty or other onerous condition on such Purchaser under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation.
(f)
Such Purchaser acknowledges he or his or its representatives have reviewed the Disclosure Documents and further acknowledges that it or its representatives have been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as he or they deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Company's financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in the Securities; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the Disclosure Documents.
(g)
Such Purchaser has based his or its investment decision solely upon the information contained in the Disclosure Documents and such other information as may have been provided to it or its representatives by the Company in response to their inquiries, and has not based its investment decision on any research or other report regarding the Company prepared by any third party ("Third Party Reports"). Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Company does not endorse any Third Party Reports and (ii) its actual results may differ materially from those projected in any Third Party Report.
25
(h)
Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) any forward-looking information included in the Disclosure Documents supplied to such Purchaser by the Company or its management is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those risks and uncertainties set forth in the Disclosure Documents; and (ii) the Company's actual results may differ materially from those projected by the Company or its management in such forward-looking information.
(i)
Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities are offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Company and its counsel will rely upon, the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and such Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
7.
Covenants of each Purchaser Not to Short Stock. Each Purchaser, and his or its respective affiliates and assigns agree not to engage in short sales with respect to the Company Common Stock as long as Series F Senior Preferred Stock are outstanding. For purposes of this section, a “Short Sale” by a Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser. For purposes of determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by a Purchaser, (i) Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares that have not yet been issued on conversion of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrant but which the Company is obligated to issue as a result of receipt of a notice of Conversion or receipt of documents and payment required for exercise of the Warrant shall be deemed to be held long by such Purchaser but (ii) Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares that have not yet been issued on conversion of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrant and which are not subject to receipt of a notice of conversion or receipt of documents and payment required for exercise of the Warrant shall not be deemed to be held long by such Purchaser.

26
(b)
This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of each Purchaser by notice to the Company given in the event that (i) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) the Company does not purchase the GMI Stock and the “Effective Date of the Plan” (as defined in the GMI Stock Purchase Agreement) does not occur by October 31, 2004, or (iii) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and immediately prior to the Closing Date, trading in securities of the Company or in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National or Small Cap Market or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange.

27
multiplied by the number of days after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC that such Registration Statement is not available for the sale of at least all the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement; provided however that such payments shall not be payable to the Purchasers for the first 30 days after the Registration Statement is not effective (or 60 days in the case of a material acquisition) and further provided that the foregoing proviso shall only be applicable once in any 12 month period.
