Redemption”) in cash a portion of the amounts outstanding under this

The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed
plus a redemption premium (“Redemption Premium”)
equal to ten percent (10%) of the principal amount being redeemed (collectively
referred to as the “Redemption Amount”).
The Redemption Premium is only applicable to an Optional Redemption. In order to
make a redemption, the Company shall first provide written notice to the Holder
of its intention to make a redemption (the “Redemption Notice”)
setting forth the amount of principal it desires to redeem. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not redeem less than the full outstanding owing
under the Debenture at the time of Optional Redemption. After receipt
of the Redemption Notice the Holder shall have three (3) business days to elect
to such portion of this Debenture, specified in the Redemption Notice subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 4(b). On the fourth
(4th)
business day after the Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the
Holder the Redemption Amount with respect to the principal amount redeemed after
giving effect to conversions effected during the three (3) business day
period.
Section
4. Conversion.
(a) Conversion
at Option of Holder.
(i) This Debenture shall be
convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or
in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date (as
defined in Section 6)
(subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(b) hereof). The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Debenture to be
converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 4(c)(i)). The Company
shall deliver Common Stock to the Holder prior to the Fifth (5th)
Trading Day after a Conversion Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares
of Common Stock at the time authorized, unissued and unreserved for all
purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to pay principal and
interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed
or quoted for trading on the OTC or on a Primary Market; or (3) the Company has
failed to timely satisfy a conversion; then, at the option of the Holder, the
Company, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section
4(a)(i), shall deliver,
within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount in
cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted
divided by the applicable Conversion Price, and multiplied by the highest
Closing Bid Price of the stock from date of the conversion notice till the date
that such cash payment is made.
Further,
if the Company shall not have delivered any cash due in respect of conversion of
this Debenture by the fifth (5th)
Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the Company,
require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(c), except that for
such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the
Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of
such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the provisions of this
Section.
(iii) The Holder shall effect
conversions by delivering to the Company a completed notice in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (a “Conversion Notice”).
The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the “Conversion Date.”
Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under
this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this
Debenture to the Company in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the
applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of
any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error.
(iv) Upon
receipt of a Conversion Notice the Transfer Agent shall within three (3) Trading
Days thereafter (i) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight
delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice a certificate,
registered in the name of the Buyer or its designees, for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall be entitled as set forth in the
Conversion Notice (ii) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust
Company Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of
the Buyers, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Buyers shall be entitled to the Buyer’s or their designees’ balance account with
DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system
provided the Buyer causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC
transaction.
(b) Certain
Conversion Restrictions.
(i) A Holder may not convert this Debenture
or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent
such conversion or receipt of such interest payment would result in the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of
interest on, this Debenture held by such Holder after application of this
Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the
number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion
hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will
limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Debenture is
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this
Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its
affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the
permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and
shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be
converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in
Section
4(a)(i) and, at the option
of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in
excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such
excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be
waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not
less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected
by any such waiver.
(c) Conversion
Price and Adjustments to Conversion Price.
(i) The conversion price in effect on any
Conversion Date shall be equal to the lower of $0.25 per share (the
“Fixed
Conversion Price”) or (b)
seventy percent (70%) of the average of the lowest two (2) Market
Conversion Prices. The Fixed Conversion Price and the Market Conversion Price
are collectively referred to as the “Conversion
Price.” The Conversion
Price may be adjusted pursuant to the other terms of this
Debenture.
(ii) If the Company, at any time while this
Debenture is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make
a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other
equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b)
subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c)
combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of
shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the
Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if
any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding 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.
(iii) If the Company, at any time while this
Debenture is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders
of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fixed
Conversion Price, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) 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 (excluding treasury shares, if any)
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 would purchase at the Fixed Conversion Price. 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. However, upon the expiration of any
such right, option or warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock the
issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Fixed Conversion Price
pursuant to this Section, if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and
shall not have been exercised, the Fixed Conversion Price shall immediately upon
such expiration be recomputed and effective immediately upon such expiration be
increased to the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other
adjustments in the Fixed Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of
this Section after the issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment
of the Fixed Conversion Price made upon the issuance of such rights, options or
warrants been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only
that number of shares of the Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise
of such rights, options or warrants actually exercised.
(iv)If the Company or any subsidiary
thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall
issue shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or
debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
(“Common
Stock Equivalents”)
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share
less than the Fixed Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalent 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 is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares
of Common Stock at a price per share which is less than the Fixed Conversion
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Fixed
Conversion Price), then, at the sole option of the Holder, the Fixed Conversion
Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion, exchange or purchase price for
such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions
thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than one (1) business day following the issuance of any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this Section, indicating therein the
applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price,
conversion price and other pricing terms. No adjustment under this Section shall
be made as a result of issuances of Excluded Securities.
(v) If the Company, at any time while this
Debenture is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and
not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Fixed
Conversion Price at which this Debenture shall thereafter be convertible shall
be determined by multiplying the Fixed 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
Closing Bid Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which
the numerator shall be such Closing Bid Price 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 one outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one 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.
(vi) In case of any reclassification of the
Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to, at its option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal
amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then
owing hereunder in respect of this Debenture into the shares of stock and other
securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
the Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the
Holder of this Debenture shall be entitled upon such event to receive such
amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the
Company into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all
accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in
respect of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled, or (B) require the
Company to prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus all
interest and other amounts due and payable thereon. The entire prepayment price
shall be paid in cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications or share exchanges.
(vii) Whenever the Conversion Price is
adjusted pursuant to Section
4 hereof, the Company
shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment.
(viii) If (A) the Company shall declare a
dividend (or any other distribution) 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 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 mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the
stock books of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x)
the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to
such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided, that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing 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 calendar period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date
of the event triggering such notice.
(ix) In case of any (1) merger
or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company with or into
another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of
more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related
transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under
Section 2(b), (B)
convert the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares
of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be
held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale,
and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to
receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common
Stock into which such aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have
been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would
have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the
surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture then held by
such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing
thereon, which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms
identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture,
and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this
Debenture set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures
were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the
newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures
shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share
of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such
transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include
such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the
securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or
redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive such events.
(d) Other
Provisions.
(i) The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock the full number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this
Debenture; and within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the
Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is
not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement.
(ii) All calculations under this
Section
4 shall be rounded up to
the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.
(iii) The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares
of Common Stock solely for the 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, not less than such number of shares of the Common
Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to
reservation of such shares set forth in this Debenture or in the Transaction
Documents) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions set
forth herein) 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 and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying
Shares Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities
Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Underlying Shares
Registration Statement.
(iv) Upon a conversion hereunder the Company
shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of
shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment
in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Closing Bid Price 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, one whole share of Common Stock.
(v) The issuance of shares of the Common
Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the
Holder.
(vi) Nothing herein shall limit
a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 2
herein for the Company 's failure to deliver the shares of Common
Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall
have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other
security. 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.
(vii) In addition to any other
rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder
such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) by the fifth
(5th)
Trading Day after the Conversion Date, and if after such fifth (5th)
Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the
Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
“Buy-In”), then
the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder's
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common
Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the conversion at
issue multiplied by (2) the market price of the Common Stock at the time of the
sale giving rise to such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the
Holder, either reissue a Debenture in the principal 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 had the Company timely complied with
its delivery requirements under Section 4(a)(i). 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 Debentures with
respect to which the market price of the Underlying Shares on the date of
