Conversion. |
3.1 Right to Convert. The Holder of this Debenture has the right, but not the obligation to, upon thirty (30) days written notice, on the one (1) year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, to convert the outstanding principal and any unpaid interest into shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion shall be determined by dividing the outstanding principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, by the Conversion Price (as defined below).
3.2 Conversion Price. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3, the Conversion Price shall be the greater of (i) seventy-five percent (75%) of the average closing offer price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock for the ten (10) days immediately prior to conversion and (ii) the price per share as of the Closing Date.
3.3 Adjustment to the Conversion Price. If at any time or from time to time the Company:
(a) Pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Shares in additional Common Shares;
(b) Subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares;
(c) Combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares;
(d) Makes a distribution on its Common Shares in shares of its capital stock other than Common Shares;
(e) Issues by reclassification of its Common Shares any shares of its capital stock;

then the conversion right and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Debenture may receive the number of Common Shares of the Company which it would have owned immediately following such action, if it had converted the Debenture immediately prior to such action.
3.4 Conversion Procedure. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering this Debenture (or such portions thereof) to be converted, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Conversion Notice") to the Company. Each Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Debentures to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date such Conversion Notice is deemed to have been delivered hereunder (a "Conversion Date"). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Conversion Notice, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Conversion Notice is deemed delivered hereunder. Subject to Section hereof, each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by the Debenture(s) tendered by the Holder with the Conversion Notice, or if a conversion hereunder cannot be effected in full for any reason, the Company shall honor such conversion to the extent permissible hereunder and shall promptly deliver to such Holder (in the manner and within the time set forth in Section 4(b)) a new Debenture for such principal amount as has not been converted.
3.5 Company’s Right to Convert Shares. On the Maturity Date, the Company has the right but not the obligation, to convert any or all of the amounts of principal and any unpaid interest, into shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion shall be determined by dividing the outstanding principal plus all accrued but unpaid interest, by the Conversion Price.
Section 4. Certain Conversion Restrictions. The Holder agrees not to convert Debentures to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 19.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures held by such Holder after application of this Section. The Company shall have the sole authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section applies and, to the extent that the Company determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which Debentures are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Company. The provisions of this Section may be waived by the Company (but only as to the Holder and not to any other Holder). Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
Section 5. |
Optional Prepayment by Company. |
5.1 Right to Prepay by Company. The Company shall have the right, exercisable at any time upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Holders of the Debentures to be prepaid (the "Optional Prepayment Notice") given at any time after, and from time to time until the Maturity Date, to prepay, from funds legally available therefore at the time of such prepayment, all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures which have not previously been repaid or for which Conversion Notices have not previously been delivered hereunder, at a price equal to the Optional Prepayment Price (as defined below). Any such prepayment by the Company shall be in cash and shall be free of any claim of
4 |
subordination. The Holders shall have the right to tender, and the Company shall honor, Conversion Notices delivered prior to the expiration of the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt by the Holders of an Optional Prepayment Notice for such Debentures (such date, the "Optional Prepayment Date").
5.2 Optional Prepayment Price The "Optional Prepayment Price" for any Debentures shall be One Hundred Fifteen percent (115%) of the original purchase price of this Debenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest due.
