applicable period of advanced written notice of its intention to make a
redemption (the "REDEMPTION NOTICE PERIOD") as set forth below. If the Closing
Bid Price of the of the Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg, LP, is less than
the Fixed Conversion Price on the date the Holder receives the Company's notice
of its intention to make a redemption (the "REDEMPTION NOTICE") then the

Upon the expiration of the Redemption Notice Period, the Company shall pay to
the Holder in immediately available funds the Redemption Amount after giving
effect to conversions effected during the Redemption Notice 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 certificates 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 A (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, verified by an independent third party, shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error.
(b) CERTAIN CONVERSION RESTRICTIONS.
(i) The Company shall not effect any conversions of this
Debenture and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this
Debenture or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to
the extent that after giving effect to such such conversion or receipt of such
interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would
beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. 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, any principal amount tendered
for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain
outstanding under this Debenture. 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 lesser of (a) [insert 120% of VWAP on the trading day
immediately prior to the closing date] (the "FIXED CONVERSION PRICE") or (b)
ninety percent (90%) of the lowest daily Volume Weighted Average Price during
the fifteen (15) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the
"MARKET CONVERSION PRICE"). 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 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 Conversion Price, then the
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 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 Conversion Price pursuant to this Section, if any such
right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the
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 Conversion Price
made pursuant to the provisions of this Section after the issuance of such
rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the 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. No adjustment under this Section shall be made as a result
of issuances of Excluded Securities.
(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 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 Conversion Price,
such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion
Price), then, at the sole option of the Holder, the 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 Conversion
Price at which this Debenture shall thereafter be convertible shall be
determined by multiplying the 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 three (3) 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.
(iiii) 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 certificates for shares of the Common
Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder
thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company
shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon
conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such Debenture so
converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(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 certificates representing 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
