(a) Optional Conversion. The Investor is entitled, at its option, any time after the date of issuance of the Debenture, prior to or at the Maturity Date (as defined in the Debenture) (the “Conversion Period”) to convert at any time and from time to time, until payment in full of the Debenture, all or any part of the principal amount of the Debenture into shares (the “Conversion Shares” or “Conversion Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at the price per share (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lesser of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 25% less than the twenty trading day (20-trading day) volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock based on the closing prices per share reported by the OTC Pink Market operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., for said twenty-day trading period, commencing ten-trading days prior to the Date of Election, as herein defined, to convert the Debenture and ending ten-trading days after such election is made and the Notice of Conversion has been submitted to the Company as required by Section 4(c) herein. The number of Common Stock shares into which this Debenture may be converted is equal to (i) the principal amount of the Debenture being converted at the Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Conversion Price. The Conversion Shares issued to an Investor as a result of conversion in accordance with this Section 4(a) shall have the same rights, preferences and privileges as those applicable to other shares of Common Stock of the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay to the Investor on the Conversion Date, as herein defined, in cash, any accrued and unpaid interest on the Debenture being converted. “Conversion Date” means any day on which all or any portion of the principal amount of the Debenture is converted in accordance with the provisions hereof. No fraction of Conversion Shares or scrip representing fractions of Conversion Shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of Conversion Shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(b) Required Conversion. If, prior to the Maturity Date, the Company proposes to enter into a Corporate Transaction (as defined below) or the Company’s Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on a national stock exchange in the United States, as reported on the principal national security exchange or quotation system on which such security is quoted or listed such as NASDAQ Capital Market or comparable stock exchange (“Qualified Listing”), the Investor will be required to convert the principal amount of the Debenture to the Conversion Shares at the conversion price equal to 90% of the Conversion Price set forth in Section 4(a) above (the “Required Conversion”). The Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice regarding such Qualified Listing or with respect to the Corporate Transaction, it shall deliver a written notice (collectively, the “Notice”) setting forth (i) the name of the acquirer and the surviving company, (ii) the price per class and series of capital security of the Company receivable in the Corporate Transaction and (iii) the other known material terms of the Corporate Transaction. Each Investor shall deliver the Debenture together with the conversion notice to the Company not later than ten (10) business days after delivery of the Notice for Required Conversion into Conversion Shares.
A “Corporate Transaction” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) a merger or consolidation in which (i) the Company is a constituent party or (ii) a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues units of its capital securities pursuant to such merger or consolidation with another Person, as herein defined below, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Company or a subsidiary in which the units of capital securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for units of capital securities that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than fifty percent (50%), by voting power, of the capital securities of (a) the surviving or resulting corporation or (b) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation;
(2) a transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50%, by voting power, of the Company’s capital securities is transferred; provided, however, that a Corporate Transaction shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof; or

(c) Procedure for Conversion. In connection with any conversion of the Debentures into Common Stock, the Investor shall surrender the Debenture(s) to the Company and deliver to the Company a written notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit “B” to the Debenture with appropriate insertions and any documentation reasonably required by the Company (the “Conversion Notice”), at its address as set forth herein. The date upon which the conversion shall be effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be:
(i) the date on which the Company receives the Conversion Notice from the Investor (the “Election Notice”), provided that, the Conversion Price as of 4:00 PM Central Time on such date is $0.10 per share as reported by OTC Pink Market; or
(ii) the date on the tenth day after the US stock markets have closed, of the ten-day trading period following the Election Notice, provided that, the Conversion Price is 25% less than 20-day VWAP.
The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Common Stock into which the Debenture(s) may convert until the Investor has surrendered the Debenture(s) to the Company and delivered to the Company the Conversion Notice with any such documentation. Upon the conversion of the Debenture(s) into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, no fraction of Conversion Shares or scrip representing fractions of Conversion Shares will be issued on Conversion Date, but the number of Conversion Shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In no event shall the Investor be entitled to convert the Debenture(s) for a number of Conversion Shares in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following such conversion.
(d) Maturity Date Repayment. In the event that the Debentures remain outstanding on the Maturity Date, then the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures and any unpaid accrued interest will become due and payable after the Maturity Date.
(e) Prepayment of Debenture. The principal amount of Debenture(s) and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, may not be prepaid by the Company unless such election to prepay the principal amount of the Debenture(s) and any unpaid interest, is approved by the Investors holding the majority of the total principal amount of and any unpaid interest on the Debentures, issued pursuant to the Financing and outstanding at the time of such election to prepay.
(f) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Debentures, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect such conversion, based upon the Conversion Price. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of Conversion Shares authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.
5. Registration Rights. The Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form S-1 registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) (or such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Conversion Securities (“Registrable Securities”) for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”). The Company has already confidentially submitted a draft registration statement with the SEC and received a comment letter from the SEC dated June 2, 2021. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective not later than one hundred and fifty (150) days after the Closing Date (the “Effective Date”), however, no assurances can be made that the Registration Statement will be declared effective by the SEC as of the Effective Date. The Company will register in the Registration Statement not less than a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures pursuant to this Purchase Agreement. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of each Investor, pro-rata, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each such Investor. The Registration Statement will immediately be amended or additional registration statements will be immediately filed by the Company as may be necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities. Without the written consent of the Investor, no securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the Registration Statement.
6. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 5 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
