Section
2. Interest.
a) Payment
of Interest in Cash or Kind.
The
Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and
then
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture at the rate of 10% per annum,
payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning
on the
first such date after the Original Issue Date, on each Conversion Date (as
to
that principal amount then being converted) and on the Maturity Date (except
that, if any such date is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be
due on
the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, an “Interest
Payment Date”),
in
cash or shares of Common Stock at the Interest Conversion Rate, or a combination
thereof (the amount to be paid in shares, the “Interest
Share Amount”);
provided,
however,
(i)
payment in shares of Common Stock may only occur if during the 20 Trading
Days
immediately prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date (the “Interest
Notice Period”)
and
through and including the date such shares of Common Stock are issued to
the
Holder all of the Equity Conditions, unless waived by the Holder in writing,
have been met and the Company shall have given the Holder notice in accordance
with the notice requirements set forth below and (ii) as to such Interest
Payment Date, prior to the such Interest Notice Period (but not more than
5
Trading Days prior to the commencement of the Interest Notice Period), the
Company shall have delivered to the Holder’s account with The Depository Trust
Company a number of shares of Common Stock to be applied against such Interest
Share Amount equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable Interest Share Amount
divided by (y) the then Conversion Price (the “Interest
Conversion Shares”).
6
b) Company’s
Election to Pay Interest in Kind.
Subject
to the terms and conditions herein, the decision whether to pay interest
hereunder in shares of Common Stock or cash shall be at the discretion of
the
Company. Prior to the commencement of an Interest Notice Period, the Company
shall provide the Holder with written notice of its election to pay interest
hereunder on the applicable Interest Payment Date either in cash, shares
of
Common Stock or a combination thereof (the Company may indicate in such notice
that the election contained in such notice shall continue for later periods
until revised) and the Interest Share Amount as to the applicable Interest
Payment Date. During any Interest Notice Period, the Company’s election (whether
specific to an Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be irrevocable
as to
such Interest Payment Date. Subject to the aforementioned conditions, failure
to
timely provide such written notice shall be deemed an election by the Company
to
pay the interest on such Interest Payment Date in cash. At any time the Company
delivers a notice to the Holder of its election to pay the interest in shares
of
Common Stock, the Company shall file a prospectus supplement pursuant to
Rule
424 disclosing such election. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
otherwise issuable to the Holder on an Interest Payment Date shall be reduced
by
the number of Interest Conversion Shares previously issued to the Holder
in
connection with such Interest Payment Date.
c) Interest
Calculations.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and shall accrue
daily commencing on the Original Issue Date 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. Payment 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)
and
only for purposes of the payment of interest in shares, the Interest Payment
Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date. Interest shall cease to accrue
with
respect to any principal amount converted, provided that the Company in fact
delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section
4(d)(ii). 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
Debentures, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the holders
of
the Debentures based on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of
Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
d) Late
Fee.
All
overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid hereunder shall entail a late
fee
at the rate of 18% per annum (or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted
to be charged under applicable law) (“Late
Fees”)
which
will accrue daily, from the date such interest is due hereunder through and
including the date of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if on any Interest Payment Date the Company has elected
to pay
interest in Common Stock and is not able to pay accrued interest in the form
of
Common Stock because it does not then satisfy the conditions for payment
in the
form of Common Stock set forth above, then, at
the
option of the Holder, the
Company, in lieu of delivering either
shares
of
Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 or
paying
the regularly scheduled cash interest payment, shall deliver, within three
Trading Days of each applicable Interest Payment Date, an amount in cash
equal
to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable
to
the Holder in connection with the payment of interest due on such Interest
Payment Date and the highest VWAP during the period commencing on the Interest
Payment Date and ending on the Trading Day prior to the date such payment
is
made. If any Interest Conversion Shares are issued to the Holder in connection
with an Interest Payment Date and are not applied against an Interest Share
Amount, then the Holder shall promptly return such excess shares to the
Company.
7
e) Prepayment.
Except
as otherwise set forth in this Debenture, the Company may not prepay any
portion
of the principal amount of this Debenture without the prior written consent
of
the Holder.
Section
3. Registration
of Transfers and Exchanges.
a) Different
Denominations.
This
Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures
of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer
or
exchange.
b) Investment
Representations.
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 and applicable federal
and state securities laws and regulations.
c) Reliance
on Debenture Register.
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
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 into shares of Common Stock
at
the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to
time
(subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(c)
hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company
the
form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex
A
(a
“Notice
of Conversion”),
specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted
and
the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion
Date”).
If no
Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date
shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To
effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount
of
this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon 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 converted and the date of such conversions. The Company
shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within 1 Business
Day of
receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records
of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error. 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.
8
b) Conversion
Price.
The
conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $.40
(subject
to adjustment herein) (the “Conversion
Price”).
c) Conversion
Limitations.
i. Holder’s
Restriction on Conversion.
The
Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and the Holder
shall
not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, pursuant to
Section
4(a) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion,
the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the
applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%
of
the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the determination of such
sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
Stock
which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted
portion of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
any other Debentures or the Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion
or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned
by the
Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c)(i), beneficial ownership shall
be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this section applies, the determination of whether this Debenture
is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and
of
which a portion of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion
of such Holder. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the 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 and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. For
purposes of this Section 4(c)(i), in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
shares
of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form
10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company
or (z) any other 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 the Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days
confirm
orally and in writing to the 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 the Holder or its
affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported.
The
provisions of this Section 4(c) may be waived by the Holder, at the election
of
the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the
provisions of this Section 4(c) shall continue to apply until such 61st day
(or
such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such
notice
of waiver). The
provisions of this paragraph shall be 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
4.99% beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes
or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such 4.99%
limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Debenture. The holders of Common Stock of the Company
shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(c) and the Company may
not
waive this Section 4(c) without the consent of holders of a majority of its
Common Stock.
9
d)
Mechanics
of Conversion
i. Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount.
The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall
be
determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion
Price.
ii. Delivery
of Certificate Upon Conversion.
Not
later than three Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates
representing the Conversion Shares which shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement)
representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion of this Debenture (including, if the Company has given continuous
notice pursuant to Section 2(b) for payment of interest in shares of Common
Stock at least 20 Trading Days prior to the date on which the Conversion
Notice
is delivered to the Company, shares of Common Stock representing the payment
of
accrued interest otherwise determined pursuant to Section 2(a) but assuming
that
the Interest Payment Period is the 20 Trading Days period immediately prior
to
the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company and
excluding for such issuance the condition that the Company deliver Interest
Conversion Shares as to such interest payment) and (B) a bank check in the
amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Company is required to pay
accrued
interest in cash). The Company shall, if available and if allowed under
applicable securities laws, use its best efforts to deliver any certificate
or
certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section
electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions.
10
iii. Failure
to Deliver Certificates.
If in
the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are
not
delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third 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, in which event the Company shall
immediately return the certificates representing the principal amount of
this
Debenture tendered for conversion.
iv. Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages.
If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
certificates pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the third 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 after 5
Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after
such
third Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. The Company’s
obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of
this
Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same,
any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person 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,
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 any
one 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, 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 principal
amount
of this Debenture outstanding, which is subject to the injunction, which
bond
shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of
the
dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the
extent
it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same,
the
Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly
noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual
damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 herein 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 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.
11
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 pursuant
to
Section 4(d)(ii) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, and
if
after such third Trading Day the Holder is required by its brokerage firm
to
purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver
in
satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the
Holder
anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common
Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of
shares
of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the conversion
at
issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price of the Common Stock at the
time of
the sale (including brokerage commissions, if any) giving rise to such purchase
obligation 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 had the Company 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 at the time of the sale
(including brokerage commissions, if any) 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. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to
the contrary, if a Holder requires the Company to make payment in respect
of a
Buy-In for the failure to timely deliver certificates hereunder and the Company
timely pays in full such payment, the Company shall not be required to pay
such
Holder liquidated damages under Section 4(d)(iv) in respect of the certificates
resulting in such Buy-In.
12
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 solely for the purpose
of
issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this
Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other
actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (and the
other holders of the Debentures), not less than such 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 and payment of interest hereunder. The Company
covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall,
upon
issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable
and,
if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act,
registered for public sale in accordance with such Registration
Statement.
vii. Fractional
Shares.
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 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 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 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
its
Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include
any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Debenture,
including as interest thereon), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares,
or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares
of
capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied
by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding 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.
13
b) Subsequent
Equity Sales.
If the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this
Debenture is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase
or
offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose
of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase
or
other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling
any
Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share
less
than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base
Conversion Price”
and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”),
as
adjusted hereunder (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 is issued
in
connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock
at
an effective price per share which is less 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect
of
an Exempt Issuance.
The
Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Business Day
following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject
to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of
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, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is
entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion
Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion
Price in the Notice of Conversion.
c) Pro
Rata Distributions.
If the
Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall distribute
to
all holders of Common Stock (and not to the holders of the Debenture) evidences
of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights
or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case
the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which
the
denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned
above,
and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the
then
fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence
of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the
Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case
the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.
14
d) 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 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 paragraph
(d) and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will
be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
e) 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
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
15
f) Notice
to the Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Conversion Price.
Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any 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 issues a variable rate security,
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 in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement).
ii. Notice
to Allow Conversion by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
If (A)
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common
Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend
on or
a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting
to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the
approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection
with
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to
which
the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all
of the
assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the
Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or
winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company
shall
cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be mailed
to
the Holder at its last addresses as it shall appear upon the stock
books of
the
Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x)
the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be
taken,
the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled
to
such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective
or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common
Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock
for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided,
that
the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the
20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of
the
event triggering such notice.

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 manner permitted by 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 with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
21
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
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 applicable laws governing usury,
the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered
to
equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. 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 or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive
the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest
on
this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this
indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that
it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution
of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
g) Next
Business Day.
Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day
other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day.
h) Headings.
The
headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of
this Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
22
i) Assumption.
Any successor to the Company or surviving entity in a Fundamental Transaction
shall (i) assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Debenture and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to written agreements
in
form and substance satisfactory to the Holder (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
(ii)
to issue to the Holder a new debenture of such successor entity evidenced
by a
written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this
Debenture, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest
rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Debentures
held by the Holder and having similar ranking to this Debenture, and
satisfactory to the Holder (any such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
or
delayed). The provisions of this Section 9(i) shall apply similarly
and
equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without
regard to any limitations of this Debenture.
