ARTICLE III
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
3.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) Securities may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to the Company or pursuant to an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements thereof. In connection with any transfer of any Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books and records of the Company or on the register of any transfer agent for the Securities (i) any transfer of Securities by one Purchaser to another Purchaser, and agrees that no documentation other than executed transfer documents shall be required for any such transfer, and (ii) any transfer by any Purchaser to an Affiliate (as such term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of such Purchaser or to an Affiliate of another Purchaser, or any transfers among any such Affiliates provided the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring any such Securities in accordance with the representation provided by the original Purchaser in Section 2.2(b). Any such Purchaser or Affiliate transferee shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 3.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
[FOR DEBENTURES ONLY] THIS DEBENTURE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON CONVERSION SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.8 OF A CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF APRIL 9, 2010 BETWEEN INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, LTD. (THE “COMPANY”) AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER HEREOF. A COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.
Underlying Shares shall not contain the legend set forth above (or any other legend) if the conversion of Debentures, exercise of the Warrants or other issuances of Underlying Shares as contemplated hereby, as the case may be, occurs at any time while an Underlying Securities Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act or, in the event there is not an effective Underlying Securities Registration Statement at such time, if in the opinion of counsel to the Company such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the legend referenced above is required pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) at the time of the initial issuance of Underlying Shares, the Company agrees that it will provide each Purchaser, upon request, with a certificate or certificates representing Underlying Shares, free from such legend at such time as such legend is no longer required hereunder. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions of transfer set forth in this Section 3.1(b).
3.2 Acknowledgement of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of Underlying Shares upon (i) conversion of the Debentures and as payment of interest thereon and (ii) exercise of the Warrants, may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms of the Debentures and the Warrants is unconditional and absolute regardless of the effect of any such dilution.
3.3 Furnishing of Information. The Company covenants that it will take such action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Upon the request of any such Person, the Company shall deliver to such Person a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
3.4 Use of Disclosure Materials. The Company consents to the use of the Disclosure Materials and any information provided by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to Section 3.3, and any amendments and supplements thereto, in connection with resales of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement.
3.5 Blue Sky Laws. In accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall qualify the Underlying Shares under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser may request and shall continue such qualification at all times until the Purchaser notifies the Company in writing that they no longer own Securities; provided, however, that neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation where they are not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject the Company to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
3.6 Integration. The Company shall not and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate shall sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the offer, issue or sale of the Securities to the Purchaser.
3.7 Increase in Authorized Shares. At such time as the Company would be, if a notice of conversion or exercise (as the case may be) were to be delivered on such date, precluded from (a) converting 105% of the full outstanding principal amount of Debentures (and paying any accrued but unpaid interest in respect thereof in shares of Common Stock) that remain unconverted at such date or (b) honoring the exercise in full of the Warrants due to the unavailability of a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued or re-acquired Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly (and in any case within 30 Business Days from such date) prepare and mail to the stockholders of the Company proxy materials requesting authorization to amend the Company’s restated articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company is authorized to issue to at least such number of shares as reasonably requested by the Purchaser in order to provide for such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to enable the Company to comply with its conversion, exercise and reservation of shares obligations as set forth in this Agreement, the Debentures and the Warrants. In connection therewith, the Board of Directors shall (a) adopt proper resolutions authorizing such increase, (b) recommend to and otherwise use its best efforts to promptly and duly obtain stockholder approval to carry out such resolutions (and hold a special meeting of the stockholders no later than the 60th day after delivery of the proxy materials relating to such meeting) and (c) within 5 Business Days of obtaining such stockholder authorization, file an appropriate amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to evidence such increase.
3.8 Purchaser Ownership of Common Stock. The Purchaser agrees not to convert Debentures or exercise its Warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise would result in it beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures held by it after application of this Section. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of whether Debentures are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by a Purchaser) and of which portion of the principal amount of such Debentures are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Purchaser, and the submission of Debentures for conversion shall be deemed to be such Purchaser’s determination of whether such Debentures are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by a Purchaser) and of which portion of such Debentures are convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Purchaser to convert Debentures at such time as such conversion will not violate the provisions of this Section. The provisions of this Section may be waived by the Purchaser upon not less than 75 days prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply until such 75th day (or later, if stated in the notice of waiver). The provisions of this Section shall not apply upon any conversion pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) of the Debentures.
3.9 Listing and Reservation of Underlying Shares. The Company shall maintain a reserve of Common Stock for the issuance upon conversion of Debentures (and for payment of interest thereon) and upon exercise of the Warrants in such amount as to enable the Company to perform its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, which reserve shall include a number of shares of Common Stock equal to not less than two times the number of shares of Common Stock as would be issuable upon the conversion in full of the Debentures and interest thereon, assuming such conversion occurred on the Original Issue Date (subject to increase as required).
3.10 Conversion Procedures. Exhibit A-A is the form for the conversion of the Debentures, that shall be rendered to the Company’s transfer agent and such other information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Purchaser to exercise its right of conversion smoothly and expeditiously.
3.11 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for general working capital.
3.12 Notice of Breaches. Each of the Company and the Purchaser shall give prompt written notice to the other of any breach by it of any representation, warranty or other agreement contained in any Transaction Document, as well as any events or occurrences arising after the date hereof, which would reasonably be likely to cause any representation or warranty or other agreement of such party, as the case may be, contained in the Transaction Document to be incorrect or breached as of such Closing Date. However, no disclosure by either party pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation, warranty or other agreement contained in any Transaction Document.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any notice or claim (written or oral) that it receives from any lender of the Company to the effect that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents violates or would violate any written agreement or understanding between such lender and the Company, and the Company shall promptly furnish by facsimile to the holders of the Debentures a copy of any written statement in support of or relating to such claim or notice.
3.13 Conversion Obligations of the Company. The Company shall honor conversions of the Debentures and exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the respective terms and conditions and time periods set forth in the Debentures and the Warrants.
3.14 Transfer of Intellectual Property Rights. Except in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company that are covered under the Debentures, the Company shall not transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of, any Intellectual Property Rights, or allow the Intellectual Property Rights to become subject to any Liens, or fail to renew such Intellectual Property Rights (if renewable and would otherwise expire), without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.
3.15 Certain Securities Laws Disclosures; Publicity. The Company shall timely file with the Commission a Form D promulgated under the Securities Act as required under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers promptly after the filing thereof. The Company shall file a Form 8-K disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby within four (4) Business Days after the Closing Date.
3.16 Registration Rights.

THIS DEBENTURE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON CONVERSION SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.8 OF A CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF APRIL , 2010, BETWEEN INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.

THIS DEBENTURE is a duly authorized issued debenture of Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and having a principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Company”), designated as its 8% Convertible Debentures, due April , 2011 (the “Debentures”), in an aggregate principal amount of $ (USD).
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to , or registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of USD ($ ), on or prior to April , 2011 or such earlier date as the Debentures are required to be repaid as provided hereunder (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest to the Holder on the principal sum at the rate of 8% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, but in no event later than the earlier to occur of a Conversion Date (as defined in Section 4(a)(i)) for such principal amount) or the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 6) until payment in full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person (as defined in Section 6) in whose name this Debenture (or one or more predecessor Debentures) is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of the Debentures (the “Debenture Register”). All overdue, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum (to accrue daily) from the date such interest is due hereunder through and including the date of payment. The principal of, and interest on, this Debenture are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address of the Holder last appearing on the Debenture Register, except that the principal amount (but not interest) may, at the Company’s option, be paid in shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 6) calculated based upon the Conversion Price (as defined below) on the date such principal amount is due. All amounts due hereunder other than such interest shall be paid in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not issue shares of Common Stock in payment of the principal amount if: (i) 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 hereunder in shares of Common Stock; or (ii) such shares are not listed or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and any other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

Section 1. This Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same but shall not be issuable in denominations of less than integral multiplies of Dollars ($ ) USD unless such amount represents the full principal balance of Debentures outstanding to such Holder. No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer or exchange.
Section 2. This Debenture has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement. Prior to due presentment to the Company for transfer of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 3. Events of Default.

(ii) the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any breach of, this Debenture or the Purchase Agreement, and such failure or breach shall not have been remedied within 30 days after the date on which notice of such failure or breach shall have been given;

(iv) the Company shall default in any of its obligations under any mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of the Company in an amount exceeding one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created and such default shall result in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable;

The aggregate amount payable upon an Event of Default in respect of the Debentures shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Mandatory Prepayment Amount plus (ii) the product of (A) the number of Underlying Shares issued in respect of conversions or as payment of interest hereunder and then held by the Holder and (B) the Per Share Market Value on the date prepayment is demanded or the date the full prepayment price is paid, whichever is greater. Interest shall accrue on the prepayment amount hereunder from the seventh day after such amount is due (being the date of an Event of Default) through the payment in full thereof at the rate of 10% per annum. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 4. Principal Conversion.
(a) 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. The number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture by $0.60 (the “Conversion Price”), each as subject to adjustment as provided hereunder. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering the Debentures (or such portions thereof) to be converted, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A-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 4(b) hereof and Section 3.8 of the Purchase Agreement, 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.
(b) Not later than three Trading Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates which shall bear restrictive legends and trading restrictions (including those required by Section 3.1(b) of the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of the Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of Debentures (subject to reduction pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Purchase Agreement), (ii) Debentures in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of Debentures not converted; (iii) a bank check in the amount of all accrued and unpaid interest (if the Company has elected to pay accrued interest in cash), together with all other amounts then due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, in respect of Debentures tendered for conversion, and (iv) if the Company has elected and is permitted hereunder to pay accrued interest in shares of the restricted Common Stock, certificates, which shall bear restrictive legends and be subject to trading restrictions, representing such number of shares of the Common Stock as equals such interest divided by the Conversion Price; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of Debentures until Debentures are delivered for conversion to the Company or the Holder notifies the Company that such Debenture has been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed and complies with Section 9 hereof. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates, including for purposes hereof, any shares of the Common Stock to be issued on the Conversion Date on account of accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the fourth Trading Day after a Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion (whether subject to a Holder or a Company Conversion Notice), in which event the Company shall immediately return the Debentures tendered for conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section, including for purposes hereof, any shares of the Common Stock to be issued on the Conversion Date on account of accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, prior to the fourth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $100 for each day thereafter until the Company delivers such certificates (such amount shall also be due for each Trading Day after the date that the Holder may rescind such conversion until such date as the Holder shall have received the return of the principal amount of Debentures relating to such rescission).
(c) (i) The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) in effect on any Conversion Date shall be Sixty Cents ($0.60).
(ii) If the Company, at any time while any Debentures are outstanding, (a) shall 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 the Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine outstanding shares of the 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, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the 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 reclassification.
(iii) 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 of this Debenture 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 only 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 Holders of the Debentures 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, from funds legally available therefor at the time of such prepayment, the aggregate of its outstanding principal amount of Debentures, plus all interest and other amounts due and payable thereon, at a price determined in accordance with Section 3(b). The entire prepayment price shall be paid in cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share exchanges.
(iv) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(iii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of Section 4(c), the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder of Debentures a notice setting forth the Initial Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of the Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and payment of interest on the Debentures, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, 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 the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 4(c)) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of the Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable.
(e) 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 Per Share Market Value 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.
(f) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Debentures shall be made without charge to the Holders 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 Debentures 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.
(g) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders of the Debentures hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company, at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000 (facsimile number (000) 000-0000), attention Chief Executive Officer, or such other address or facsimile number as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder of the Debentures at the facsimile telephone number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section prior to 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time), (ii) the date after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section later than 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on such date, (iii) four days after deposit in the United States mail, (iv) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 5. Registration Rights. The Company has agreed to grant each Purchaser “piggy-back” registration rights to be included in the Company’s next registration statement for the registration of shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (excluding registration statements on Form S-8 and underwritten or other registration statements where the financier specifically forbids the piggy-back of Purchasers’ shares).
Section 6. Optional Prepayment.
(a) The Company shall have the right, exercisable at any time from and after 190 days from inception, upon Ten (10) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holders of the Debentures to be prepaid (the “Optional Prepayment Notice”), to prepay, from funds legally available therefor 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 subordination. The Holders shall have the right to tender, and the Company shall honor, Conversion Notices delivered prior to the expiration of the thirtieth (30th) Trading Day after receipt by the Holders of an Optional Prepayment Notice for such Debentures (such date, the “Optional Prepayment Date”).
(b) If any portion of the Optional Prepayment Price shall not be paid by the Company by the Optional Prepayment Date, the Optional Prepayment Price shall be increased by 10% per annum (to accrue daily) until paid (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). In addition, if any portion of the optional Prepayment Price remains unpaid through the expiration of the Optional Prepayment Date, the Holder subject to such prepayment may elect by written notice to the Company to either (i) demand conversion in accordance with the formula and the time period therefor set forth in Section 4 of any portion of the principal amount of Debentures for which the Optional Prepayment Price, plus accrued liquidated damages thereof, has not been paid in full (the “Unpaid Prepayment Principal Amount”), in which event the applicable Per Share Market Value shall be the lower of the Per Share Market Value calculated on the Optional Prepayment Date and the Per Share Market Value as of the Holder’s written demand for conversion, or (ii) invalidate ab initio such optional redemption, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary. If the Holder elects option (i) above, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days of such election is deemed delivered hereunder to the Holder the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Unpaid Prepayment Amount subject to such conversion demand and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder with respect thereto; or, if the Holder elects option (ii) above, the Company shall promptly, and in any event not later than three Trading Days from receipt of notice of such election, return to the Holder new Debentures for the full Unpaid Prepayment Principal Amount. If, upon an election under option (i) above, the Company fails to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Unpaid Prepayment Principal Amount within the time period set forth in this Section, the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $100 per day until the Company delivers such Common Stock to the Holder.

To Purchase Shares of Common Stock ($0.001 par value) Warrant Number:
INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.
Incorporated Under the Laws of Delaware
Warrant
1. Basic Terms. This certifies that, for value received, the registered owner is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, from the time set forth in Paragraph 3 below until the expiration date, to purchase shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), of Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (the “Company”) from the Company at the purchase price set forth in Paragraph 2 below, on delivery of this Warrant to the Company with the exercise form duly executed and payment of the purchase price (as further described in Paragraph 6 below) for each share purchased.
Registered Owner:
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share shall be $0.75 from April __, 2010 through December 31, 2010 or $1.20 from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.
3. When Exercisable. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time from and after the date of its issuance and shall expire at 11:59 p.m., Little River, South Carolina, Time as indicated in Item 2., above unless terminated sooner under Paragraph 13 of this Warrant. This Warrant shall expire, become void and be of no further force or effect after the expiration date.
4. Company’s Covenants as to Common Stock. Shares deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant shall, at delivery, be fully paid and non-assessable, free from taxes, liens, and charges with respect to their purchase. The Company shall take any necessary steps to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock issuable hereunder is at all times equal to or less than the then current Warrant purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company shall at all times reserve and hold available sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy all conversion and purchase rights of all outstanding convertible securities, options, and warrants, including, without limitation, this Warrant.
5. Method of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the option of the registered owner in whole at any time, or in part, from time to time, within the period above specified. In case of the exercise of this Warrant for less than all shares purchasable, the Company shall cancel the Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares purchasable.
6. Payment for Shares. The registered owner shall notify the Company of the number of shares that he desires to purchase and deliver with such notice the cash or a certified bank check payable to the Company for the purchase price of the shares being purchased.
7. Limited Rights of Owner. This Warrant does not entitle the owner to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever except the rights herein expressed. No dividends are payable or will accrue on this Warrant or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is exercised.
8. Exchange or Other Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, on its surrender by the registered owner to the Company, for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares purchasable hereunder in denominations designated by the registered owner at the time of surrender.
9. Transfer. Except as otherwise above provided, this Warrant is transferable only on the books of the Company by the registered owner in person or by attorney, on surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed.
10. Recognition of Registered Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant, the Company may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to receive notices and otherwise to exercise rights hereunder.
11. Effect of Stock Split, etc. If the Company, by stock split, stock dividend, reverse split, reclassification of shares, or otherwise, changes as a whole the outstanding Common Stock into a different number or class of shares, then: (1) the number and/or class of shares as so changed shall, for the purposes of this Warrant, replace the shares outstanding immediately prior to the change; and (2) the Warrant purchase price in effect, and the number of shares purchasable under this Warrant, immediately prior to the date upon which the change becomes effective, shall be proportionately adjusted (the price to the nearest cent). Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Warrant purchase price or the number of shares purchasable under this or any other Warrant of like tenor, the Warrants therefore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Warrant purchase price per share and the number of shares purchasable as the Warrant purchase price per share and the number of share purchasable were expressed in the Warrant when initially issued.
12. Effect of Merger, etc. If the Company consolidates with or merges into another corporation, the registered owner shall thereafter be entitled, upon exercise of this Warrant, to purchase, with respect to each share of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately before the consolidation or merger becomes effective, the securities or other consideration to which a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled in the consolidation or merger without any change in or payment in addition to the Warrant purchase price in effect immediately prior to the merger or consolidation. The Company shall take any necessary steps in connection with a consolidation or merger to assure that all the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, to any securities or other consideration so deliverable on exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not consolidate or merge unless, prior to consummation, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes the obligations of this paragraph by written instrument executed and mailed to the registered owner at the address of the owner on the books of the Company. A sale or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Company for a consideration (apart from the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities is a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.
13. Notice of Adjustment. On the happening of an event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant purchase price or the shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give written notice to the registered owner stating the adjusted Warrant purchase price and the adjusted number and kind of securities or other property purchasable hereunder resulting from the event and setting forth reasonable detail of the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based. The Board of Directors of the Company, acting in good faith, shall determine the calculation.
14. Notice and Effect of Dissolution, etc. In case a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than a connection with a consolidation or merger covered by Paragraph 11 above) is at any time proposed, the Company shall give at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the registered owner. Such notice shall contain: (1) the date on which the transaction is to take place; (2) the record date (which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of the notice) as of which holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions as a result of the transaction: (3) a brief description of the transaction; (4) a brief description of the distributions made to holders of Common Stock as a result of the transaction; and (5) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall terminate.
15. Registration of Common Stock. Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The initial Holder hereof has delivered to Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. a written statement to the effect that he is purchasing this Warrant for his own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof except in conformity with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws, and has further agreed that this Warrant may also state that it may not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, and applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel which opinion shall be satisfactory to Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. to the effect that there is an exemption therefrom. In addition, the initial Holder hereto agrees to deliver to Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. a similar written statement with respect to any shares of Common Stock purchased upon the conversion of this Warrant unless such shares have at the time of issuance been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
16. Method of Giving Notice; Extent Required. Notices shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered owner at the address of the owner appearing in the records of the Company.
17. Registration Rights. The Company has agreed to grant each Purchaser “piggy-back” registration rights to be included in the Company’s next registration statement for the registration of shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (excluding registration statements on Form S-8 and underwritten or other registration statements where the financier specifically forbids the piggy-back of Purchasers’ shares).
18. Expenses and Procedures.
(A) Expenses of Registration. All registration expenses (exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder of Warrant Shares shall bear all underwriting discounts, selling commissions, sales concessions and similar expenses applicable to the sale of the Warrant Shares sold by such Holder.
(B) Registration Procedures. In the case of the registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to Section 17 hereof, the Company will keep the Holders of Warrant Shares advised as to the initiation of registration and qualification. At its expense, the Company will furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto as the Holders or underwriters from time to time may reasonably request.
(C) Information. The Company may require each seller of Warrant Shares as to which any registration is being effected to furnish such information regarding the distribution of such Warrant Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and the Company may exclude from such registration the Warrant Shares of any seller who unreasonably fails to furnish such information after receiving such request.
(D) Blue Sky. The Company will, as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to register or qualify the Warrant Shares covered by a registration statement at the expense of the Company in such jurisdictions as the Holders of such Warrant Shares or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably request at the expense of the Holders of the Warrant Shares being registered provided that the Company shall not be required in connection with any such registration or qualification or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to taxation or service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not otherwise subject to such taxation or service of process.
(E) Notification of Material Events. The Company will, as expeditiously as possible, immediately notify each Holder of Warrant Shares under a registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and, as expeditiously as possible, amend or supplement such prospectus to eliminate the untrue statement or the omission.
(F) Opinions. The Company will use its best efforts (if the offering is underwritten) to furnish, at the request of any Holder of Warrant Shares, on the date that Warrant Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such Holder, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Act and that (A) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act, (B) the registration statement, the related prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act (except that such counsel need express no opinion as to financial statements and financial and statistical data contained therein) and (C) to such other effects as may reasonably be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by such Holder or its counsel, and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters and to such Holder, stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act, and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five (5) business days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is being given as such underwriters or Holder may reasonably request.
