The Notice of Conversion shall be executed by the Holder of this Debenture and shall evidence such Holder's intention to convert this Debenture or a specified portion hereof in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company by hand, mail or courier delivery at the address specified in said Exhibit A or at the facsimile number specified in said Exhibit A (each of such address or facsimile number may be changed by notice given to the Holder in the manner provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement).
 
C. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any of the other Transaction Agreements, in no event (except (i) as specifically provided herein as an exception to this provision, or (ii) while there is outstanding a tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock) shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Debenture, or shall the Company have the obligation to convert such Debenture (and the Company shall not have the right to pay interest hereon in shares of Common Stock) to the extent that, after such conversion or issuance of stock in payment of interest, the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Debentures or other convertible securities or of the unexercised portion of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the Holder upon such conversion). For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence.

D. (i) Subject to the terms of Section 4(C) and to the other terms of this Section 4(D), interest on the principal amount of this Debenture converted pursuant to a Notice of Conversion shall be due and payable, at the option of the Company, in cash or, subject to the conditions of the next sentence, in shares of Common Stock on the Interest Payment Date. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may elect to pay interest in shares of Common Stock if, but only if, the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder as such payment are covered by an effective Registration Statement.

(ii) If the interest payable in connection with a Voluntary Conversion is to be paid in cash, the Company shall make such payment within three (3) Trading Days after the Interest Payment Date. If the interest is not paid by such third Trading Day, the interest must be paid in Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(D), unless the Holder consents otherwise in each specific instance.

(iii) Additional provisions regarding the payment of interest on the principal amount of this Debenture are set forth in the following provisions of this Section 4.

(iv) If interest is to be paid in Common Stock (whether at the election of the Company or as required hereunder), the number of shares of Common Stock to be received shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the interest by the Payment Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
 


E. Reference is made to the provisions of Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Conversion Price and other provisions of this Debenture shall be adjusted as provided in the applicable provisions of said Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

F. (i) Anything in the other provisions of this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right, in its discretion, to prepay the outstanding principal of this Debenture, together with all accrued interest thereon, in whole or in part, on the terms and conditions provided in this Section 4(F). If the Company elects to make such a prepayment, the Company shall give the Holder a written notice (the “Voluntary Prepayment Notice”) of its election to prepay all or a portion of then outstanding Debenture. The prepayment amount shall be equal to the sum of (x) the Applicable Prepayment Percentage (as defined below) of the principal of this Debenture being prepaid, plus (y) the accrued interest on such principal through the Voluntary Prepayment Date. Additional terms regarding this prepayment right are provided below. The term “Applicable Prepayment Percentage” means (1) through and including the first annual anniversary of the Issue Date, one hundred fifty percent (150%) and (2) thereafter, one hundred twenty percent (120%).

(ii) The Company may give a Voluntary Prepayment Notice and make the prepayment only if, (x) on the date on which the Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given and (y) on every Trading Day thereafter through and including the Voluntary Prepayment Date,

(x) there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares issuable on conversion of this Debenture, and

(y) there is no Event of Default hereunder or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time (that is, without regard to any grace or cure periods), could be declared an Event of Default hereunder, and
 


(z) the Common Stock of the Company, including any Conversion Shares to be issued on conversion of the Debenture during the Prepayment Conversion Period, are eligible for trading on an Acceptable Trading Market.

(iii) The Voluntary Prepayment Notice shall specify (x) the principal amount of the Debenture being prepaid by the Company (the “Voluntary Principal Prepayment Amount”), (y) the date (the “Voluntary Prepayment Date”), which shall be not less than twenty (20) and not more than forty (40) Trading Days after the Voluntary Prepayment Notice is received by the Holder, on which such prepayment will be made, and (z) identify the bank (the “Prepayment Bank”) where the Voluntary Prepayment Funds (as defined below) have been deposited. The Voluntary Prepayment Notice shall be accompanied by the Prepayment Bank’s confirmation to the Holder that funds (the “Voluntary Prepayment Funds”) equal to the Voluntary Prepayment Amount have been deposited with the Prepayment Bank and instructions for the method by which the Holder can provide instructions to the Prepayment Bank to make payment of the Voluntary Prepayment Funds to the Holder (such payment to made by check or wire, as specified by the Holder) on the Voluntary Prepayment Date.

(iv) Even after the issuance of a Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Holder may continue to convert this Debenture as provided in the other provisions of this Debenture until this Debenture is paid in full. If the Holder converts any portion of this Debenture after the date of the Voluntary Prepayment Notice and prior to the payment of the Voluntary Prepayment Funds to the Holder (the “Prepayment Conversion Period”), so that the then outstanding principal of this Debenture is less than the Voluntary Prepayment Principal Amount, the Company shall notify the Prepayment Bank of the then outstanding principal of this Debenture (accompanied by a copy of the relevant Notice of Conversion issued by the Holder); provided, however, if the Voluntary Prepayment Principal Amount is less than the principal of the then Unconverted Debenture, any such conversions made during the Prepayment Conversion Period shall be deemed made in the following order of priority: (x) first, out of principal of the Unconverted Debenture in excess of the Voluntary Prepayment Principal Amount, and (y) then, out of the Voluntary Prepayment Principal Amount. To the extent that any conversions made during the Prepayment Conversion Period are deemed made out of the Voluntary Prepayment Principal Amount, the Voluntary Prepayment Funds will then be adjusted to and be deemed to be equal the sum of (x) the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the adjusted principal of this Debenture being prepaid, plus (y) the accrued interest on such principal through the Voluntary Prepayment Date.
 


(v) If the Voluntary Prepayment Funds are not timely paid or made available to the Holder, the Holder will have the option, exercisable at any time prior to the actual payment of the Voluntary Prepayment Funds (together with any additional interest accruing on the Prepayment Principal Amount after the Prepayment Date) to effect either or both of the following actions: (x) cancellation, ab initio, of the prepayment contemplated by the Voluntary Prepayment Notice and (y) cancellation of the Company’s prepayment right under this Section 4(F).

G. (i) Anything in the other provisions of this Debenture or any of the other Transaction Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right, on the terms and conditions provided in this Section 4(G), to require the Holder to convert all or a specified portion of the principal of this Debenture, together with all accrued interest thereon, on the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below). On the Mandatory Conversion Date, without further action by the Holder, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Debenture shall be deemed converted into Common Stock (x) with respect to such principal, at the Conversion Price in effect on such Mandatory Conversion Date, and (y) with respect to the interest at the applicable rate contemplated by the provisions of Section 4(D)(iv) hereof on such Mandatory Conversion Date. Any conversion contemplated by this Section 4(G) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions of this Section 4(G), to the extent relevant.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (iii) below, if, for each of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the twentieth of such consecutive Trading Days, the “Target Trading Day”),
 


(A) the Sale Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock is more than the Target Price (as defined below), and

(B) the Daily Volume (as defined below) is more than the Target Volume (as defined below),

the Company will have the right, in its discretion, to give the Holder a written notice (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) within five (5) Trading Days after the Target Trading Day. The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state that the date specified in such notice (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), which date shall be no earlier than twenty (20) Trading Days and no later than sixty (60) Trading Days after the Target Trading Day, shall be deemed a Mandatory Conversion Date.

(iii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may give a Mandatory Conversion Notice and make the conversions contemplated thereby only if, (x) on the date on which the Mandatory Conversion Notice is given and (y) on every Trading Day thereafter through and including the Mandatory Conversion Date,

(x) there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares issuable on conversion of this Debenture to the extent contemplated by the Mandatory Conversion Notice, and

(y) there is no Event of Default hereunder or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time (that is, without regard to any grace or cure periods), could be declared an Event of Default hereunder, and

(z) the Common Stock of the Company, including the Conversion Shares to be issued on the Mandatory Conversion Date, are eligible for trading on an Acceptable Trading Market.

(iv) The term “Sale Price” means the 4:00 P.M. closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market on the relevant Trading Day(s), as reported by the Reporting Service for the relevant date. The term “Target Price” means $2.75 (which amount is subject to adjustment to the same extent that the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted other than pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement). The term “Daily Volume” means the trading volume for each relevant Trading Day, as reported by the Reporting Service. The term “Target Volume” means 45,000 shares of Common Stock (which amount is subject to adjustment to the same extent that the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted other than pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and other than as a result of reverse stock split).
 


(v) If the Company properly and timely gives a Mandatory Conversion Notice and all of the conditions referred in subparagraph (iii) above are satisfied, the conversion contemplated by the Mandatory Conversion Notice will be effected, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (vi) below, on the Mandatory Conversion Date. If any of such conditions is not true, the Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be deemed canceled ab initio.

(vi) The provisions of Section 4(C) shall apply on the Mandatory Conversion Date. If, as a result of such provisions, the entire portion of the Debenture provided for in the Mandatory Conversion Notice is not converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company, without further notice to the Holder, shall be deemed to have timely given one or more Mandatory Conversion Notices for the balance of such portion providing for successive Mandatory Conversion Dates, each of which deferred date is ten (10) Trading Days after the immediately preceding Mandatory Conversion Date, until such portion of this Debenture is fully converted or paid in full (or some combination thereof). If, and to the extent that, the provisions of Section 4(C) apply on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Holder may not declare an Event of Default with respect to the portion of the Debenture which is not converted on such date with respect to clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) (but only to the extent such provision applies to Transaction Agreements other than the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrant) or (i) of Section 14(i) hereof; provided, however, that this provision shall not limit the Holder’s rights to declare an Event of Default with respect to any other unconverted outstanding portion of this Debenture.

(vii) Prior to a Mandatory Conversion Date, including after receiving a Mandatory Conversion Notice, the Holder shall continue to have the right to convert any outstanding portion of this Debenture in accordance with its terms until it is fully converted. Any such conversion shall be applied against the mandatory conversion contemplated by the Mandatory Conversion Notice.
 


(viii) If, as of the Mandatory Conversion Date specified in the relevant Mandatory Conversion Notice, the Company timely pays in full any accrued interest payable with respect to the portion of the Debenture contemplated by the Mandatory Conversion Notice and issues all shares then converted in accordance with, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 4(G), then interest shall cease to accrue on any remaining Unconverted Debenture to the extent included in the Mandatory Conversion Notice. If, subject to such other provisions, such payment is not made in full on or before the Mandatory Conversion Date, interest shall continue to accrue on the unpaid portion until the earliest date after the initial Mandatory Conversion Date on which all accrued interest through the date of payment has in fact been paid, but cease to accrue thereafter. If the Mandatory Conversion Notice does not contemplate that the entire outstanding Debenture is to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date, then Interest shall continue to accrue and be payable, without regard to the provisions of this Section 4(G) with respect to any portion of the Debenture not so included in the Mandatory Conversion Notice.

H. (i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall make payments in reduction of the obligations represented by this Debenture in accordance with the terms of this Section 4(H).

(ii) Commencing on the first Trading Day of the calendar month following the date on which the third monthly anniversary of the Issue Date occurs, and on the first Trading Day of each subsequent calendar month (each such date, a “Required Prepayment Date”), the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount (the “Required Principal Payment”) equal to four and 77/100 percent (4.77%) of the original principal of this Debenture but not more than the then outstanding principal of this Debenture, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the “Required Interest Payment”). With respect to each Required Prepayment Date, the relevant Required Principal Payment and the relevant Required Interest Payment are referred to collectively as the “Required Payment.”
 


(iii) For each Required Prepayment Date which is prior to the Effective Date, the Required Payment shall be made in cash. If less than the full amount is paid, the amount actually paid shall be applied in the following order of priority (x) first, to the Required Interest Payment; and (y) then to principal of the Debenture. The failure to pay such full amount, however, may result in an Event of Default.

(iv) For each Required Prepayment Date which is on or after the Effective Date, the Company may, subject to the following provisions of this Section 4(H), elect to make the Required Payment in cash or in shares of Common Stock. Unless the Company notifies the Holder at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the relevant Required Prepayment Date that it is electing to pay the Required Payment in shares of Common Stock (subject to the following provisions of this Section 4(H), the Company will be required to make such payment in cash on the Required Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may only pay the Required Payment in shares if (x) the Registration Statement covering the Conversion Shares to be issued in such payment is effective on the Payment Date and on the date the Conversion Shares are delivered to the Holder, and (y) the VWAP for the five (5) Trading Days used in the computation for the relevant Payment Conversion Price (the “Required Prepayment VWAP”) is not less than $0.50 (the “Floor VWAP Price”; which Floor VWAP Price may be adjusted for any reverse stock split).

(v) If, with respect to any Required Prepayment Date, the Company elects or is required to pay the Required Payment in cash, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Required Percentage (as defined below) of the Required Principal Payment) and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Required Interest Payment and of any other amounts due hereunder. If less than the full amount is paid, the amount actually paid shall be applied in the following order of priority (w) first, to the Required Interest Payment; (x) then, to any other amounts other than principal due hereunder; (y) then, to a prepayment fee equal to (1) until the first annual anniversary of the Issue Date, to the extent of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of the Required Principal Payment, or (2) on and after the first annual anniversary of the Issue Date, to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the Required Principal Payment; and (z) then to principal of the Debenture. The failure to pay such full amount, however, may result in an Event of Default. If the entire amount is paid, the outstanding principal of the Debenture shall be reduced by the amount of the Required Principal Payment. The term “Applicable Required Percentage” means (1) until the first annual anniversary of the Issue Date, one hundred fifteen percent (115%), and (2) on and after the first annual anniversary of the Issue Date, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%).
 

 
(vi) If the Required Payment is made in stock, as provided herein, the Company shall issue shares to the Holder equal to the Required Payment divided by the Payment Conversion Price.

(vii) The provisions of Section 4(C) shall apply on each Required Prepayment Date. If, as a result of such provisions, the entire portion of the Required Payment is not converted on the relevant Required Prepayment Date, then there shall be one or more successive deferred Required Prepayment Dates, each of which deferred date is five (5) Trading Days after the immediately preceding Required Prepayment Date, until the Required Payment is fully converted or paid in full (or some combination thereof).

(viii) The provisions of this Section 4(H) notwithstanding, the Holder shall continue to have the right to convert any outstanding portion of this Debenture in accordance with its terms until it is fully converted or paid to the same extent as if this Section 4(H) were not included in this Debenture.

I. (i) The following provisions apply to the issuances of Common Stock in payment of the amounts due under this Debenture, whether as principal or interest, as provided in the preceding provisions of this Section 4.

(ii) No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
 


(iii) Each of the following dates shall constitute a “Conversion Date”:

(x) For a Voluntary Conversion, the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers a Notice of Conversion to the Company so that it is received by the Company on or before such specified date shall be a “Conversion Date” for all purposes of this Debenture and the other Transaction Agreements.

(y) For a Mandatory Conversion, the Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a “Conversion Date” with respect to the relevant shares for all purposes of this Debenture and the other Transaction Agreements, without the need for the Holder to submit a Notice of Conversion.

(z) For a Required Payment which is made in stock, the Required Payment Date shall be deemed to be a “Conversion Date” with respect to the relevant shares for all purposes of this Debenture and the other Transaction Agreements, without the need for the Holder to submit a Notice of Conversion.

(iv) All shares issuable with respect to a Conversion Date shall be deemed “Conversion Shares” for all purposes of this Debenture and the other Transaction Agreements. Certificates representing the relevant Conversion Shares (“Conversion Certificates”) will be delivered to the Holder at (x) with respect to a Voluntary Conversion, at the address specified in the relevant Notice of Conversion, and (y) with respect to any conversion contemplated hereby to the address separately identified by the Holder (and if none, the Holder’s the Holder’s address for notices as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, which address the Holder may change from time to time in the manner provided therein), via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise, within three (3) Trading Days (such third Trading Day, the “Delivery Date”) after the relevant Conversion Date. The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares issuable to it in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 4 on the Conversion Date.
 


J. Any payments under this Debenture shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first to accrued interest; (ii) then, to any amounts (other than principal) due hereunder and (iii) then, to principal in the inverse order of maturity.

5.  Subject to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, no provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency or where contemplated herein in shares of its Common Stock, as applicable, as herein prescribed. This Debenture and all other Debentures now or hereafter issued of similar terms are direct obligations of the Company.

6. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the interest on, this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

7. All payments contemplated hereby to be made “in cash” shall be made in immediately available good funds of United States of America currency by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Holder to the Company (which account may be changed by notice similarly given). All payments of cash and each delivery of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder as contemplated hereby shall be made to the Holder at the address last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time; except that the Holder can designate, by notice to the Company, a different delivery address for any one or more specific payments or deliveries.
 


8. If, for as long as this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company enters into a merger (other than where the Company is the surviving entity) or consolidation with another corporation or other entity or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person (collectively, a "Sale"), the Company will require, in the agreements reflecting such transaction, that the surviving entity expressly assume the obligations of the Company hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company enters into a Sale and the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities or property in respect of or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such Sale, the Company and any such successor, purchaser or transferee will agree that the Debenture may thereafter be converted on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth above into the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture might have been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable. In the event of any such proposed Sale, (i) the Holder hereof shall have the right to convert by delivering a Notice of Conversion to the Company within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such Sale from the Company, except that Section 4(C) shall not apply to such conversion.
9. If, at any time while any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company spins off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes of all or of a part of its assets in a transaction (the “Spin Off”) in which the Company, in addition to or in lieu of any other compensation received and retained by the Company for such business, operations or assets, causes securities of another entity (the “Spin Off Securities”) to be issued to security holders of the Company, the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Holder had all of the Holder’s Debentures outstanding on the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company (the “Outstanding Debentures”) been converted as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record Date (the “Reserved Spin Off Shares”), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on the conversion of all or any of the Outstanding Debentures, such amount of the Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares multiplied by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures then being converted, and (II) the denominator is the principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures.
 


10. If, at any time while any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price or the Lowest Fixed Conversion Price, if any, and any other fixed amounts calculated as contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Agreements shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action. By way of illustration, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, (i) if the Company effectuates a 2:1 split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such split, the Lowest Fixed Conversion Price, if any, shall be deemed to be one-half of what it had been immediately prior to such split; (ii) if the Company effectuates a 1:10 reverse split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such reverse split, the Lowest Fixed Conversion Price shall be deemed to be ten times what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; and (iii) if the Company declares a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares outstanding, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such dividend, the Conversion Price (whether or not based on a Lowest Fixed Conversion Price) shall be deemed to be such amount multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of shares (10 in the example) for which a dividend share will be issued and the denominator is such number of shares plus the dividend share(s) issuable or issued thereon (11 in the example).

11. The Holder of the Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

12. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of New York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Debenture and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under any of this Debenture.
 


13. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The Company and the Holder hereby waive a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the Parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with this Debenture.

(iii) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then,

(x) unless and until such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default), at the option of the Holder and in the Holder’s sole discretion, but without further notice from the Holder, the unpaid amount of this Debenture, computed as of such date, will bear interest at the rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower, from the date of the Event of Default to until and including the date actually paid; and any partial payments shall be applied first to all accrued interest and then to principal; and

(y) at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default), at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may elect to redeem all or part of the Unconverted Debenture (as defined below) on the terms provided in Section 15 hereof.

(iv) (A) The term “Special Registration Default” means either an Initial Special Registration Default or an Increased Special Registration Default (as those terms are defined below).

(B) If, as of the date which is two hundred seventy (270) days after the Issue Date (the “Initial Default Effective Date”), the Registration Statement is not effective with respect to the resale by the Holder of a number of shares (the “Initial Full Registration Shares”) at least equal to the sum of
 


(1) (x) the principal amount of the Unconverted Debenture as of the date of the Initial Special Registration Default Notice (as defined below), divided by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect, plus

(2) the Held Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of the Holder in excess of the number of shares actually registered for the Holder (the “Unregistered Held Shares”),

the Holder may, by written notice (an “Initial Special Registration Default Notice”) to the Company at any time before the effective date of a registration statement covering the sale of such number of shares (which might be adjusted based on events subsequent to such Initial Default Effective Date), declare a default under this Debenture (such default, an “Initial Special Registration Default”).

(C) If, as a result of the application of the provisions of Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, there is an Increased Registered Shares Date, but, as of the date which is one hundred eighty hundred (180) days after such Increased Registered Shares Date (an “Increased Default Effective Date”), the Registration Statement is not effective with respect to the resale by the Holder of a number of shares (the “Increased Full Registration Shares”) at least equal to the sum of

(1) (x) the principal amount of the Unconverted Debenture as of the date of the Increased Special Registration Default Notice (as defined below), divided by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect, plus

(2) the Held Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of the Holder in excess of the number of shares actually registered for the Holder (the “Unregistered Held Shares”),
 


the Holder may, by written notice (an “Increased Special Registration Default Notice”) to the Company at any time before the effective date of a registration statement covering the sale of such number of shares (which might be adjusted based on events subsequent to the Increased Default Effective Date), declare a default under this Debenture (such default, an “Increased Special Registration Default”).
 
(D) Anything in the foregoing provisions of this Section 14 to the contrary notwithstanding, an Initial Special Registration Default Notice or an Increased Special Registration Default Notice, as the case may be, may, in the discretion of the Holder, specify that if the Company’s failure to pay the relevant Redemption Amount within five (5) Trading Days after the Redemption Due Date will, without further notice, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the balance of this Debenture (or any smaller portion thereof designated by the Holder).

15.  A. The Company acknowledges that if there is an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to immediately redeem all or any part of the outstanding portion of this Debenture for an amount equal to the Redemption Amount (as defined below). The Redemption Amount shall be paid in cash by the Company to the Holder.

B. For purposes of this Debenture, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

“Unconverted Debenture” means the principal amount of this Debenture which has not been converted as of the relevant date.

“Redemption Payment Date” means the date on which the Company actually pays the Redemption Amount.

“Redemption Amount” means the amount equal to:
 
   
V 
  x 
M 
 
 
   
   
CP 
   
 

 
where:

“V” means the principal of an Unconverted Debenture plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon;

“CP” means the Payment Conversion Price in effect on the date (the “Redemption Notice Date”) of the Redemption Notice (as defined below); provided, however, if the Redemption Amount is not paid in full on or before the Redemption Due Date, “CP” means the lower of (x) the Payment Conversion Price in effect on the Redemption Notice Date or (y) the lowest Payment Conversion Price in effect during the period commencing on the Redemption Due Date and ending on the Redemption Payment Date; and

“M” means the highest closing price per share of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Redemption Payment Date.

C. The Holder of an Unconverted Debenture may elect to redeem a portion of such Unconverted Debenture without electing to redeem the balance of the Unconverted Debenture. The Holder’s option to redeem all or part of the Unconverted Debenture shall be exercised by the Holder giving written notice of the exercise of this provision by the Holder (a “Redemption Notice”) at any time after a relevant Event of Default has occurred but before such Event of Default is cured.. The Redemption Notice shall specify (a) the date (the “Redemption Due Date”) on which the Redemption Amount shall be paid, which date shall be at least five (5) Trading Days after the date (a “Redemption Notice Date”) on which the Holder Redemption Notice is given, and (b) the wire instructions for the account to which the Redemption Amount is to be paid; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to accelerate the date of such payment.

D. If all of the Unconverted Debentures are being redeemed pursuant to this Section 5, then, upon payment in full of the Redemption Amount for all of the Unconverted Debentures in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, the Holder shall deliver the Debenture to the Company marked “paid in full”.
 


E. If the Redemption Amount is not timely paid by the Company, the Redemption Amount shall accrue interest at the Default Rate and the Holder may declare the Redemption Amount, together with such interest, due under this Debenture immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law, including, but not necessarily limited to, the equitable remedy of specific performance and injunctive relief.

F. Except as specified in this paragraph F, all provisions relating to an Event of Default shall apply to a Special Registration Default, including, but not limited to the provisions relating to the giving of a Redemption Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is Special Registration Default, for determining the Redemption Amount with respect thereto, the principal amount of “V” in paragraph B above shall not exceed the amount which is equal to the sum of

(1) the principal of this Debenture which, if converted at the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect, would be convertible into the number of shares equal to the excess of (x) the Full Registration Shares over (y) the number of shares which are registered for resale by the Holder (reduced by the number of shares which have previously been sold by the Holder pursuant to the effective Registration Statement), plus

(2) the Held Shares Value (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of the Unregistered Held Shares of the Holder.

16. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.
17. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in manner provided in the Section headed "NOTICES" in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[Balance of page intentionally blank]
 


18. In the event for any reason, any payment by or act of the Company or the Holder shall result in payment of interest which would exceed the limit authorized by or be in violation of the law of the jurisdiction applicable to this Debenture, then ipso facto the obligation of the Company to pay interest or perform such act or requirement shall be reduced to the limit authorized under such law, so that in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any such interest, perform any such act or be bound by any requirement which would result in the payment of interest in excess of the limit so authorized. In the event any payment by or act of the Company shall result in the extraction of a rate of interest in excess of a sum which is lawfully collectible as interest, then such amount (to the extent of such excess not returned to the Company) shall, without further agreement or notice between or by the Company or the Holder, be deemed applied to the payment of principal, if any, hereunder immediately upon receipt of such excess funds by the Holder, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had agreed to accept such sums as an interest-free prepayment of this Debenture. If any part of such excess remains after the principal has been paid in full, whether by the provisions of the preceding sentences of this Section or otherwise, such excess shall be deemed to be an interest-free loan from the Company to the Holder, which loan shall be payable immediately upon demand by the Company. The provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Debenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
