2.1
FORMULA
FOR ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL CONVERTIBLE NOTES
The
Additional Convertible Notes shall not exceed $200,000,000 in principal value.
The number of Additional Convertible Notes shall be issued within 30 days of
the
first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the Closing. The
Additional Convertible Notes shall be issued to the Members in accordance with
their ownership interest in the DC Gas Units.
The
principal amount of Additional Convertible Notes to be issued shall be
determined by subtracting $50,000,000 from the product of DC Gas’s gross revenue
by .50. The conversion price for the Additional Convertible Notes will be
EMVELCO’s market price, which is the 90 day average closing price prior to the
anniversary.
For
example, if the gross revenue of DC Gas for the first anniversary of the Closing
is $110,000,000 and the 90 day average closing price is $1.15, then the formula
would be as follows:
(($110,000,000
x .50) - 50,000,000) = $5,000,000
The
principal amount of the Additional Convertible Debenture shall be $5,000,000
and
the conversion price shall be $1.15. In the event that EMVELCO has received
Shareholder Approval, then the shares of common stock of EMVELCO will be issued
as if the Additional Convertible Notes had been fully converted.
