Section 4. Conversion.
(a) i) Xxxxxx's Conversion Right. At any time after the Original Issue Date
until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture, including interest and principal, shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price of fifty-eight percent (58%) (the "Conversion Rate") of the lowest daily trading price, determined on the then current trading market for the Company's common stock, for 10 trading days prior to conversion (the "Set Price") at the option of the Holder, in whole at any time and from time to time. All Common Stock issued under this Debenture shall be issued to Xxxxxx Xxxxx Management, Inc. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a "Notice of Conversion"), specifying the date on which such conversion is to 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 provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender Debentures to the Company. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within 2 Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. If the Company does not request the issuance of the shares underlying this Debenture after receipt of a Notice of Conversion within 4 Business days following the period allowed for any objection, the Company shall be responsible for any differential in the value of the converted shares underlying this Debenture between the value of the closing price on the date the shares should have been delivered and the date the shares are delivered. Furthermore, if the Holder or its assigned designee do not receive delivery of the converted shares within 14 days after the Conversion Date, the Conversion Rate for all future conversions shall be forty percent (40%), and if the Holder
3 |
or its assigned designee do not receive delivery of the converted shares within 30 days after the Conversion Date, the Conversion Rate for all future conversions shall be thirty percent (30%). 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.

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) Whenever the Set Price is adjusted pursuant to any of Section 4, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Set Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
iv) 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; (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 the Debentures, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating 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
4 |
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 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. Holders are entitled to convert Debentures during the 20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
v) 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 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 Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent 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 one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Set Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Set 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 paragraph and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control Transaction, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th
5 |
day after such Fundamental Transaction. the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Debenture from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the 100% of the remaining unconverted principal amount of this Debenture on the date of such request, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus all other accrued and unpaid amounts due hereunder.
(b) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Xxxxxx's Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system.
(c) 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 the Debenture, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon conversion of this Debenture.
