of interest in shares of Common Stock (other than the Interest Conversion Shares
issued prior to an Interest Notice Period) shall otherwise occur pursuant to
Section 4(d)(ii) herein and, solely for purposes of the payment of interest in
shares, the Interest Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion

amount converted, provided that, the Company actually delivers the Conversion
Shares within the time period required by Section 4(d)(ii)
herein. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name
this Debenture is registered on the records of the Company regarding
registration and transfers of this Debenture (the “Debenture Register”).
Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Company pays interest
partially in cash and partially in shares of Common Stock to the holders of the

holders of the then-outstanding Debentures based on their (or their
predecessor’s) initial purchases of Debentures pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.

Fee. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid
hereunder shall entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18%

principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as

investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase

Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and

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
4. Conversion.
a) Voluntary Conversion.
At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer
outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into
shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to
time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(c)
hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the
Company a notice of conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of
Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture
to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such
date, the “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 deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the
Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the
Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture has been so
converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the
applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such
conversion(s), which records shall be reconciled by the Company and the Holder
in writing (by facsimile, e-mail or other written form) after each such
conversion. The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of
Conversion within 1 Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. 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.
b) Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date
shall be equal to $0.10
subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion
Price”).
c) Xxxxxx’s Restriction on
Conversion. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this
Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this
Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on
the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such
Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted
principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by such Holder or any of
its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures or the Warrants)
beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set
forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c)
applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation
to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of
which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole
discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be
deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether this Debenture may be
converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with
any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in
each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure compliance
with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company
each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has
not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall
have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as
contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in determining
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the
following: (A) the Company’s most recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case
may be; (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company; or (C) a more
recent notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally
and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of
securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by such Holder or its
Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture held by the
Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

Mechanics of
Conversion.

or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any
other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged
violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any
other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to
the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such
delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the
Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this
Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount
hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder
or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any
violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a
court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or
part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company
posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the
injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall
be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the
absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if
applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company
fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date,
the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, for each $1000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the tenth Trading Day after such
liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such fifth
Trading Day until such certificates are
delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to
pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8
hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period
specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. 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.
v. Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to
any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery
Date pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the
Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases,
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of
the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the
conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies
available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock
so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at
issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage
commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if
surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with
its delivery requirements under Section 4(d)(ii). For example, if the
Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover
a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect
to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage
commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000
under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be
required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the
Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect
of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such
loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to
the terms hereof.
vi. Reservation of Shares
Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture, each
as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent
purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the
Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock
as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that
shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
vii. Fractional Shares.
Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if
otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a
share based on the VWAP 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.
viii. Transfer
Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common
Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder
hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect
of the issue or delivery of such certificates, 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 this 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.
Section 5. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Stock
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by
the Company upon conversion of the Debentures); (B) subdivides outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including
by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a 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 any treasury shares of the
Company) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately 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.
b) Subsequent Equity
Sales. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding and
until ADH Ventures, LLC becomes the holder of all of the outstanding Debentures,
the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to
purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or
issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (other than in an
Exempt Issuance) entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an
effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such
lower price, the “Base
Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”)
(if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents 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 are issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be
deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the
Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base
Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. If the Company enters
into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the
Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such
securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than 1 Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the
applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion
price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the
Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon
the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a
number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the
date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately
refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of
Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this
provision shall not apply in respect of any Exempt Issuance
c) [INTENTIONALLY
DELETED]
d) [INTENTIONALLY
DELETED]
e) Fundamental
Transaction. 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 transaction 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 Conversion Share that would
have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of
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 Conversion 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 Conversion 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 Section 5(e) and insuring that this Debenture (or any
such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
f) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this
Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and
outstanding.
g) Notice to the
Holder.
i. Adjustment to Conversion
Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to
any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder
a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If
the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement), despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the
Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may
be converted or exercised.
ii. Notice to Allow Conversion
by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
other distribution in whatever form) 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 of 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 delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon
the Debenture Register, at least 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 deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery 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 period commencing on the date of such notice through the
effective date of the event triggering such notice.
Section 6. Redemption and Forced
Conversion.
a) Optional Redemption at
Election of Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section
6, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder (an “Optional Redemption
Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional
Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of
the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount
equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 20th Trading
Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional
Redemption Date” and such redemption, the “Optional Redemption”). The
Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption
Date. The Company may only effect an Optional Redemption if each of
the Equity Conditions shall have been met on each Trading Day during the period
commencing on the Optional Redemption Notice Date through to the Optional
Redemption Date and through and including the date payment of the Optional
Redemption Amount is actually made. If any of the Equity Conditions
shall cease to be satisfied at any time during the 20 Trading Day period, then
the Holder may elect to nullify the Optional Redemption Notice by notice to the
Company within 3 Trading Days after the first day on which any such Equity
Condition has not been met (provided that if, by a provision of the Transaction
Documents, the Company is obligated to notify the Holder of the non-existence of
an Equity Condition, such notice period shall be extended to the third Trading
Day after proper notice from the Company) in which case the Optional Redemption
Notice shall be null and void, ab initio.
b) Redemption
Procedure. The payment of cash or issuance of Common Stock, as
applicable, pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall be payable on the Optional
Redemption Date. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an
Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by the applicable due date,
interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per
annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid
in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary,
if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date,
the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time
thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and the
Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional
Redemption. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal
amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash
for any redemption under this Section 6 by the delivery of a Notice of
Conversion to the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that it
will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the
Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due
and paid in full.
c) Forced Conversion.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the VWAP for each of any 30
consecutive Trading Days (such period the “Threshold Period”),
exceeds $0.20 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock
that occur after the Original Issue Date), the Company may, within 1 Trading Day
after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to the
Holder (a “Forced
Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to the Holder,
the “Forced Conversion
Notice Date”) to cause the Holder to convert all or part of the then
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus, if so specified in the
Forced Conversion Notice, accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and
other amounts owing to the Holder under this Debenture, it being agreed that the
“Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 4 shall be deemed to occur on the
third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third
Trading Day, the “Forced Conversion
Date”). The Company may not deliver a Forced Conversion
Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Company shall not be
effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions are met on each Trading Day
occurring during the applicable Threshold Period through and including the later
of the Forced Conversion Date and the Trading Day after the date such Conversion
Shares pursuant to such conversion are delivered to the Holder. Any
Forced Conversion shall be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial
purchases of Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that any
voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder’s
pro-rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted
hereunder if only a portion of this Debenture is forcibly
converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall
be subject to all of the provisions of Section 4, including, without limitation,
the provision requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on
conversions.
Section 7. Negative Covenants.
As long as any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company shall
not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly:
a) repay,
repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de
minimis number of shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents other
than as to (a) the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares as permitted or required
under the Transaction Documents and (b) repurchases of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents of departing officers and directors of the Company, provided
that such repurchases shall not exceed an aggregate of $100,000 for all officers
and directors during the term of this Debenture);
b) pay cash
dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company;
c) enter
into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Company (other than reasonable
fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on behalf of officers,
directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries) which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with
the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and
expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company
(even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval);
d) issue
rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders)
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price
per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date referenced
below;
e) distribute
to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security; or
f) enter
into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Section 8. Events of
Default.
a) “Event of Default”
means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason
for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body):
i. any
default in the payment of (A) the principal amount of any Debenture or (B)
interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing to a Holder on any
Debenture, as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a
Conversion Date or the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise) which
default, solely in the case of an interest payment or other default under clause
(B) above, is not cured within 3 Trading Days;
ii. the
Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement
contained in the Debentures (other than a breach by the Company of its
obligations to deliver shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion,
which breach is addressed in clause (xi) below) which failure is not cured, if
possible to cure, within the earlier to occur of (A) 5 Trading Days after notice
of such failure sent by the Holder or by any other Holder and (B) 10 Trading
Days after the Company has become or should have become aware of such
failure;
iii. a default
or event of default (subject to any grace or cure period provided in the
applicable agreement, document or instrument) shall occur under any of the
Transaction Documents (other than the Debentures);
iv. the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall be subject to a Bankruptcy
Event;
v. the
Company or any Subsidiary shall default on any of its obligations under any
mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring
agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there
may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due
under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement that (a) involves an
obligation greater than $500,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall
hereafter be created, and (b) results in such indebtedness becoming or being
declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become
due and payable;
vi. the
Company shall be a party to any Change of Control Transaction or Fundamental
Transaction or shall agree to sell or dispose of all or in excess of 40% of its
and it Subsidiaries’ assets on a consolidated basis in one transaction or a
series of related transactions (whether or not such sale would constitute a
Change of Control Transaction);
vii. the
Company shall fail for any reason to deliver certificates to a Holder prior to
the tenth Trading Day after a Conversion Date pursuant to Section 4(d) or the
Company shall provide at any time notice to the Holder, including by way of
public announcement, of the Company’s intention to not honor requests for
conversions of any Debentures in accordance with the terms hereof;
viii. any
monetary judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed
against the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective property or other
assets for more than $100,000, and such judgment, writ or similar final process
shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 45 calendar
days.
b) Remedies Upon Event of
Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount
of this Debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and
other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall
become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the
Mandatory Default Amount. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of
any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this
Debenture, the interest rate on this Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate
equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under
applicable law. Upon the payment in full of the Mandatory Default
Amount, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Debenture to or as directed by
the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein,
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 acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Xxxxxx at any
time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder
of the Debenture until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment
pursuant to this Section 8(b). No such rescission or annulment shall
affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
Section
9. Miscellaneous.
a) Notices. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the
Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall
be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally

Company, or if no such facsimile number or address appears, at the principal
place of business of the Holder. Any notice or other communication or

the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 9 prior to 5:30 p.m.
(New York City time), (ii) the date immediately following the date of

time) and 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (iii) the second Business
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given.
b) Absolute Obligation.
Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Debenture shall alter
or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable, on
this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed. This Debenture is a direct debt obligation of the
Company. This Debenture ranks pari passu with all other
Debentures now or hereafter issued under the terms set forth
herein.
c) Lost or Mutilated
Debenture. If this Debenture shall be mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of
or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture
for the principal amount of this Debenture so mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction
of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnify, if requested, all
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
d) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any
of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its
respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents)
shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York
Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of
the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to
assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are
improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Debenture
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any
legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the
transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Debenture, then the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
e) Waiver. Any
waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this
Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other
breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this
Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon
strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall
not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to
insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this
Debenture. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in
writing.
f) Severability. If
any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is
inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain
applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be
found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates
the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due
hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest
permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension
