ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On June 13, 2008, ICP Solar Technologies Inc. (the Company) completed the closing (the

The investors were BridgePointe Master Fund Ltd., Gemini Master Fund, Ltd., and Platinum Long Term Growth VI, LLC.
A portion of the proceeds from the Offering are being used to redeem all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Companys credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada dated December 7, 2006. Following the payment of certain finders fees and transaction expenses, the net proceeds from the Offering are being held in escrow and are made available to the Company in varying amounts on a quarterly basis through and including February 1, 2010. The Private Placement consists of (i) 11% senior secured convertible debentures in the Company issued at a 10% discount with an aggregate face value of $3,333,333 and a maturity date of June 13, 2010, with interest payable monthly, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price (subject to adjustment) of US $0.50; (ii) 6,666,666 Series A purchase warrants each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company, at an initial exercise price of US $0.50 per share (subject to adjustment) for a period of 6 years from the date of the Closing; (iii) 6,666,666 Series B purchase warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an initial exercise price of US $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for a period of 6 years from the date of the Closing; and (iv) 6,666,666 in Series C purchase warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of
the Company at an initial exercise price of US $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for a period of 6 years from the date of the Closing (but which are not exercisable until after all of the series B warrants have been exercised.). The debentures are secured by a first lien on all of the assets of the Company. The Companys obligations under the debentures are guaranteed by the following subsidiaries: 1260491 Alberta, Inc., ICP Solar Technologies, ICP Global Technologies, Inc., and WES Power Technology, Inc. The following subsidiaries are not guarantors: ICP Asia Ltd. and ICP Global Tech PTY Ltd. The Company has agreed to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and has agreed to file the registration statement by July 15, 2008. The Company is subject to various penalties for failure to meet certain deadlines for the filing of and effectiveness of the registration statement. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures are not required to be registered under the transaction documents. Holders of the debentures may require the Company to redeem the debentures upon the occurrence of any one or more of events of default specified in the debentures. The officers and Directors of the Company have agreed to a lockup of sales of Company securities owned by them for certain time periods as specified in a Lockup Agreement. The President and CEO of the Company has agreed to vote or to cause to be voted all Company shares owned or controlled by him in favor of any amendment to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation or other governing documents necessary to ensure the Companys compliance with its obligations under the transaction documents related to maintaining authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the debentures and/or exercise of the Warrants.
In connection with this transaction, certain finders will receive (i) cash fees in an aggregate amount of 8% of the gross proceeds, and (ii) warrants, exercisable for shares of Common Stock for 2 years at $0.50 per share, the number of warrants calculated as follows: eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds divided by the initial conversion price of the debentures.

Limitation it is unable to issue such shares of Common Stock to the Holder, the

exceeded by payment of Interest in shares of Common Stock. Furthermore,

will pay interest to the Holder, payable on demand, on the outstanding principal
balance of and unpaid interest on the Debenture from the date of the Event of
Default until such Event of Default is cured at the rate of the lesser of
eighteen percent (18%) and the maximum applicable legal rate per annum. Section
3. Conversion. (a) Conversion
Right. (i) Conversion
Timing and Amount. Subject to the limitations on Conversion contained

Conversion Right) from time to time, and at any time on or after the
Original Issue Date hereof to convert any of all of the Debentures (plus any
accrued and unpaid Interest, Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash
Payments) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, or any
shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such
Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the Conversion Price
(as defined in Section 3(b) below, subject to adjustment as provided herein)
determined as provided herein (a "Conversion"). The Conversion Rights set
forth in this Section 3 shall remain in full force and effect immediately from
the Original Issue Date until the Debenture is paid in full regardless of the
occurrence of an Event of Default. (ii) Limitation
On Conversion. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the
Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Debenture in excess of that
portion of this Debenture upon Conversion of which (nor shall the Company be
permitted to pay Interest or any Monthly Redemption in shares of Common Stock to
the extent that) the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and any applicable affiliates (other than
shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the
ownership of the unconverted portion of the Debenture, the unexercised Warrants
or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company
subject to a limitation on Conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations
contained herein)(the Beneficially Owned Shares) and (2) 9 the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
Conversion of the portion of the Debenture with respect to which the
determination of this proviso is being made or upon the payment of Interest in
shares of Common Stock 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% (the Maximum Percentage) 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 Beneficial Ownership Limitation). For purposes
of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall
be determined by the Holder in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of
such proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, and PROVIDED THAT the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the
applicable Notice of Conversion includes a signed representation by the Holder,
if requested by the Company, that the issuance of the shares in such Notice of
Conversion will not violate the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company
shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such
satisfaction. The
parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any tender offer or
any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby the Company shall
not be the surviving entity (an Offer), or in the event that Default
Shares are being issued to the Holder pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the
Maximum Percentage shall be automatically increased immediately after such Offer
to read 9.99% each place that 4.99% occurs in the first paragraph of this
Section 3(a)(ii) above. Notwithstanding the above, Holder shall retain the
option to either exercise or not exercise its option(s) to acquire Common Stock
pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) may be waived by such Holder, at the
election of such Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to
the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not less
than 4.99% and not in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the
provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) shall continue to apply. Any such increase
or decrease to the Maximum Percentage will apply only to the Holder and not to
any other holder of Debentures. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder,
provided that, if an Event of Default occurs, thereafter the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) may be waived by such
Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days prior notice
to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not
less than 4.99% (and not limited to 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the
provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii) shall continue to apply. The provisions of
this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(a)(ii) to correct this
paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective 10 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. (iii) Maximum
Exercise of Rights. In the event the Holder notifies the Company that the
exercise of the rights described in this Section 3 or the issuance of Interim
Conversion Shares (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof), Payment Shares (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or other shares of Common Stock
issuable to the Holder under the terms of the Transaction Documents
(collectively, Issuable Shares) would result in the issuance of an
amount of Common Stock that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued
to a Holder calculated in the manner described in Section 3(a)(ii) of this
Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock to such
Holder will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Holder is
able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount
calculated in the manner described in Section 3(a)(ii) of this Agreement. The
determination of when such Common Stock may be issued without violating the
Beneficial Ownership Limitations shall be made by each Holder as to only such
Holder. (iv) Calculation
of Conversion Amount. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
each Conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by dividing the Conversion
Amount (as defined herein) by the applicable Conversion Price. The term
"Conversion Amount" means, with respect to any Conversion of the
Debenture, the sum of (1) the principal amount of the Debenture to be converted
in such Conversion, PLUS (2) all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon for the
period beginning on the Original Issue Date and ending on the Conversion Date
(as defined in Section 3(d) hereof), PLUS (3) at the Holder's option, any
Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash Payment owed to the Holder. (b) Conversion
Price. The "Conversion Price" shall initially equal fifty cents
($0.50)(the "Initial Conversion Price")(subject to
adjustments pursuant to the terms of this Debenture and subject to equitable
adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company
relating to the Company's securities or the securities of any Subsidiary of the
Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary
distributions and similar events). (c) Reservation
of Shares. (i) Increase
and Maintenance of Authorized and Reserved Amount. The Company
represents that the aggregate number of its authorized shares of Common Stock is
at least 100,000,000 shares and covenants that it will initially reserve
(the Initial Share Reservation) from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 150% of the
initial principal amount of this Debenture, divided by the Conversion Price in
effect on the Original Issue Date of this Debenture, free from preemptive
rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the Conversion of this
Debenture. Company further covenants that, 11 beginning on the Original Issue Date hereof, and continuing
until all of the Debentures have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied
in accordance with their terms, the Company will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares (the Required Debenture
Reserve Amount), free from preemptive rights, equal to 150% of the number
of shares as shall from time to time be necessary to provide for the issuance of
Common Stock upon the full Conversion of all of the Debentures (without regard
to any limitations on conversions) and full exercise of all of the Warrants
(without regard to any limitations on exercises). The Company shall authorize
and reserve such additional amounts (together with the Required Debenture
Reserve Amount, collectively referred to as the Required Reserve
Amount) of shares from time to time as necessary to comply with the
Company's obligations to meet the Ongoing Share Reservation Requirements (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) pursuant to Section 4(e) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company represents that upon issuance, such
Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In
addition, if the Company shall issue any securities or make any change to its
capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into
which the Debenture shall be convertible at the then applicable Conversion
Price, or if the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, the Company shall at the
same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive
rights, for Conversion of the outstanding portion of this Debenture.
(ii) Insufficient Authorized Shares.
If at any time while any of the Debentures remain outstanding the Company
does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common
Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the
Debentures and exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an "Authorized Share
Failure"), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to
increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient
to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Debentures
and Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an
Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days
after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a
meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company
shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best
efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized
shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the
stockholders that they approve such proposal. The
Company shall use its best efforts to authorize and reserve a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i)
such time that the Holder notifies the Company or that the Company otherwise
becomes aware that there are or likely will be insufficient authorized, reserved
and unissued shares to allow full Conversion of the outstanding amount of the
Debenture and full exercise of the outstanding amount of Holders Warrants,
based upon the Holders Reserved Share 12 Allocation (as defined below) (as defined below). The Company
shall send notice to the Holder of the authorization of additional shares of
Common Stock, the date of such authorization and the amount of the Holder's
accrued Liquidated Damages. (iii) Allocations
of Reserve Amount. The initial number of shares of Common Stock
authorized and reserved for conversions of the Debentures and exercise of the
Warrants and each increase in the number of shares so reserved (collectively,
the Actual Reserved Amount) shall be allocated pro rata among the
Holders (the "Reserved Share Allocation") of the Debentures based
on the aggregate number of Shares into which each Holders outstanding Debenture
would be convertible and into which each Holders outstanding Warrants would be
exercisable at the time of the increase (collectively, the Fully Diluted
Holdings) as a percentage of the aggregate Fully Diluted Holdings of all of
the Holders. In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer such
Holders Debenture, each transferee shall immediately be allocated a pro rata
portion of such transferors Reserved Share Allocation. Any portion of the
Reserved Share Allocation which remains allocated to any Person or entity which
does not hold any Debenture shall be allocated to the remaining holders of
Debentures, pro rata based on the Holders Fully Diluted Holdings at the time of
such allocation. (d) Method
of Conversion. (i)
Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 3(a) and the other provisions
of this Debenture, this Debenture may be converted into Common Stock by the
Holder in whole or in part at any time and from time to time after the Original
Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Company a duly executed notice of
Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Notice of
Conversion") by facsimile dispatched prior to Midnight, New York City time
(the "Conversion Notice Deadline") on the date specified therein as the
Conversion Date (as defined herein) (or by other means resulting in written
notice to the Company on the date specified therein as the Conversion Date) to
the office of the Company; which notice shall specify the principal amount of
this Debenture to be converted (plus the dollar amount of any accrued but unpaid
Interest, Liquidated Damages, and other Required Cash Payments that the Holder
elects to convert into Common Stock), the applicable Conversion Price, and the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion; and (B) subject
to Section 3(d)(vii), surrendering the Debenture at the principal office of the
Company. (ii)
Conversion Date. The "Conversion Date" shall be the date
specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided that the Notice of Conversion is
submitted by facsimile (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected
to result in, written notice) to the Company or its transfer agent (Transfer
Agent) before Midnight, New York City time, on the date so specified,
otherwise the Conversion Date shall be the date that the Notice of Conversion
(or a facsimile thereof) is first received by the Company or its Transfer Agent.
The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such securities as of the Conversion Date. 13 (iii)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon submission of a
Notice of Conversion, the Company shall, by no later than the third (3rd)
Business Day after the Conversion Date (the "Conversion Shares Delivery
Deadline"), issue and deliver (or cause its Transfer Agent so to issue and
deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Securities Purchase
Agreement to or upon the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common
Stock (Conversion Shares) for the principal amount of this Debenture
(plus the dollar amount of any accrued but unpaid Interest, Liquidated Damages,
and other Required Cash Payments that the Holder elects to convert into Common
Stock) converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the
Conversion of this Debenture, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense,
take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of
counsel to assure that the Company's Transfer Agent shall issue stock
certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other Persons as
designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Conversion
representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion.
The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have
been or will be given to the Transfer Agent of the Common Stock and that the
Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a
legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Shares provided the
Shares are being issued during the effectiveness of, and will be sold pursuant
to, an effective registration statement covering the Shares or are eligible for
resale pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration. (iv)
Delivery Failure; Partial Liquidated Damages; Revocation of
Conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder
a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares pursuant to
Section 3(d)(iii) by the fifth (5th) 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 $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such
liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such fifth (5th)
Trading Day until such certificates are delivered (the Late Share Delivery
Liquidated Damages). Nothing herein shall limit a Holders right to pursue
actual damages or damages for an Event of Default pursuant to the terms hereof
for the Companys 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. In
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion
Shares by the Conversion Shares Delivery Deadline, or fails to effect delivery
of Default Shares by the Default Share Delivery Deadline (as defined in Section
11 hereof) (each, a Delivery Failure), the Holder, at its option, will
be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion (a
Conversion Revocation) or rescind all or part of a Default Conversion
Notice (as defined in Section 11) (a Default Conversion Revocation) or
rescind all or part of a Major Transaction Conversion 14 Notice (as defined in Section 4) (a Major Transaction
Conversion Revocation) or rescind all or part of the notice of Redemption,
including but not limited to a notice of Mandatory Redemption (a Redemption
Revocation), as applicable, by delivery of a notice to such effect to the
Company whereupon the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this
Debenture with respect to such unconverted portions of this Debenture and the
Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions
immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated
damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation
or rescission is given to the Company. (v) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion, or
Upon Submission for Legend Removal. 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 (without legends, if the Unrestricted
Conditions have been met) by the Conversion Shares Deliver Deadline pursuant to
Section 3(d)(iii), or if at any time the Holder submits shares of Common Stock
for legend removal when the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, and the
Company fails to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate
representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends by
the applicable Legend Removal Date, and if after such Conversion Shares Deliver
Deadline or Legend Removal Date, as applicable, the Holder is required by its
brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the
Holders 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 Conversion
Shares Deliver Deadline or Legend Removal Date, as applicable (each, 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 Holders 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 so purchased 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, if applicable, either reinstate (or if necessary, reissue)
the portion of the Debenture for which such conversion was not honored 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 3(d)(iii). 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 the 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 Holders 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 15 Companys failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Debenture as required pursuant to
the terms hereof. (vi) Surrender
of Debenture Upon Conversion; Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, upon Conversion of this Debenture in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
the Debenture to the Company unless all of this Debenture is converted, in which
case such Holder shall deliver the Debenture being converted to the Company
promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. The Holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the amount of this Debenture that is so converted
and the dates of such Conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical
surrender of this Debenture upon each such Conversion. In the event of any
dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. (vii)
No Fractional Shares. If any Conversion of this Debenture would
result in a fractional share of Common Stock or the right to acquire a
fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of this Debenture
shall be the next higher number of shares. (xiii) Lost
or Stolen Debentures. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Debenture, and (in the case of loss,
theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and
upon surrender and cancellation of the Debenture, if mutilated, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Debenture of like tenor and date. (e)
Legends. (i)
Restrictive Legends. The Holder understands that the Debentures
and, until such time as Conversion Shares and any other Issued Common Shares (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) have been registered under the
1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of
securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the
Conversion Shares and any other Issued Common Shares may bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities): "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN 16 OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT." (ii) Removal
of Legends. The Company will issue and deliver the Conversion Shares
without restrictive legends (including the legend set forth above in this
Section 3(e)), and will remove, or cause its Transfer Agent to remove at the
Companys expense, any restrictive legends on any Conversion Shares that contain
restrictive legends (including the legend set forth above in this Section 3(e)),
in each case when and as required under Section 6(a) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement. The Holder agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented
by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. (f) DTC
Delivery. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the
unlegended shares of Common Stock (the Unlegended Shares), provided the
Companys Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon
request of the Holder, so long as the certificates therefor are not required to
bear a legend and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for the
placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission ("DWAC") system. The time periods for delivery and
penalties described herein shall likewise apply to the electronic transmittals
described herein. (g) Status
as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i)
the portion of the Debenture covered thereby (other than the portion, if any,
pursuant to the Conversion of which shares cannot be issued because their
issuance would exceed such Holder's allocated portion of the Required Reserve
Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the
Holder's rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Debenture shall
cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such
shares of Common Stock and to any Liquidated Damages or other remedies provided
herein or in the Transaction Documents or otherwise available at law or in
equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Company to comply with the
terms of this Debenture, including but not limited to the remedies provided in
Section 3(d)(iv), Section 3(d)(vi), Section 11 and Section 14 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder initiates a Conversion Revocation, a
Default Conversion Revocation or a Redemption Revocation pursuant to Section
3(d)(iv) hereof, the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this
Debenture with respect to such unconverted portion of this Debenture as
specified in Section 3(d)(iv) and the Company shall, as soon as practicable,
return such unconverted portion of this Debenture to the Holder or, if the
Debenture has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such
portion of the Debenture has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall
retain 17 all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation,
the right to receive Liquidated Damages to the extent required hereby for such
Event of Failure and any subsequent Event of Failure and the right to receive
the Default Amount pursuant to Section 11 to the extent required thereby) for
the Company's failure to convert this Debenture. (h)
Pro Rata Conversion. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion
Notice from more than one holder of Debentures for the same Conversion Date and
the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Debentures
submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each holder of
Debentures electing to have Debentures converted on such date a pro rata amount
of such holder's portion of its Debentures submitted for conversion based on the
principal amount of Debentures submitted for conversion on such date by such
holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Debentures submitted
for conversion on such date. Section
4. Rights Upon Major
Transaction or Change of Entity Transaction. (a) Definitions. For
purposes hereof, Change
of Entity Transaction means (i) a consolidation, merger, exchange of
shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar
event, in one or a series of transactions (A) following which the holders of
Common Stock immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, change of shares,
recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or event either (1) no
longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company or (2) no
longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the
Company or (B) as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
(or the shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a
different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or
securities of the Company or another entity. Sufficient
Trading Characteristics shall mean that the average daily dollar trading
volume of the common stock of such entity on its primary exchange or market is
equal to or in excess of $100,000 for the 90th through the 31st day prior to the
public announcement of the transaction in respect of which this definition shall
be applied. Permissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
where the Successor Entity (as defined below) (A) is a publicly traded Company
whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, (B)
has Sufficient Trading Characteristics (as defined above) and (C) meets the
Assumption Requirements (as required in Section 4(b) below), or any other Change
of Entity Transaction with respect to which the Holder provides the 18 Company with a Major Transaction
Approval Notice (as defined in subsection (d) immediately below). Impermissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
which does not qualify as a Permissible Change of Entity Transaction. Major
Transaction means (i) an
Impermissible Change of Entity Transaction; and (ii)
the sale or transfer of more than 40%, in the aggregate, of the properties or
assets of the Company to another Person or Persons in any rolling 12 month
period (an Asset Sale); and (iii)
a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the holders of more
than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (b) Assumption
Upon Permissible Change of Entity Transaction. The Company shall not, so
long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding, enter into or be party to a
Change of Entity Transaction unless any Person purchasing the Companys assets
or Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Change of Entity
Transaction (in each case, an Successor Entity), assumes (an
Assumption) in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the
Debenture and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior
to such Change of Entity Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each
holder of Debentures in exchange for such Debentures a security of the Successor
Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to the Debenture, including, without limitation, having a principal
amount and interest rate equal to the principal amount and Interest rate of the
Debentures held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the
Debentures (including but not limited to a similar Conversion Price and similar
Conversion Price adjustment provisions) and having similar priority to the
Debentures, and satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any
Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Change of Entity
Transaction, the provisions of the Debenture referring to the "Company" shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power
of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under the
Debenture with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the
Company herein. Upon consummation of a Change of Entity Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be
issued upon conversion or redemption of the Debentures at any time after the
consummation of the Change of Entity Transaction, in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon
the conversion of the Debentures prior to such Change of Entity 19 Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or
their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of the Debenture. The provisions of this Section shall apply
similarly and equally to successive Change of Entity Transactions and shall be
applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Debenture.
The requirements of this Section 4(b) are referred to herein as the
Assumption Requirements. (c) Notice
of Transaction. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of a
Major Transaction or Change of Entity Transaction, but not prior to the public
announcement of such transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice
thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a "Transaction
Notice"), which notice shall specify the nature and terms of the proposed
transaction (including notice of whether or not such transaction constitutes a
Major Transaction) and nature of the Successor Entity (if any). (d) Redemption
Right Upon Major Transaction. At any time during the period beginning after
the Holder's receipt of a Transaction Notice and ending on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, the Holder may
require the Company to redeem (a Redemption Upon Major Transaction) all
or any portion of the Holders Debenture by delivering written notice thereof
("Major Transaction Redemption Notice") to the Company, which Major
Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the aggregate principal amount of
Debentures (the Redemption Principal Amount) that the Holder is
electing to be redeemed. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder to the Company
in writing, in the event that the holder does not provide a Major Transaction
Redemption Notice to the Company, the Holder shall be deemed to have delivered a
Major Transaction Redemption Notice, on the last day such notice is allowable,
requiring the Company to redeem 100% of the Holders Debenture. The Redemption
Principal Amount of Debentures subject to redemption pursuant to this Section
4(d) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the "Major
Transaction Redemption Price") equal to the greater of: (i) the product of (A) the sum
of the Redemption Principal Amount being redeemed and any accrued and unpaid
Interest with respect to such Redemption Principal Amount, and any accrued and
unpaid Liquidated Damages and any other Required Cash Payments (such amounts in
addition to the Redemption Principal Amount are referred to herein as the
Supplementary Amounts), and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (x)
the greater of (I) the Market Price of the Common Stock immediately following
the public announcement of such proposed Major Transaction and (II) the Market
Price on the date that the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid to the
Holder, by (y) the Conversion Price, and (ii) the
sum of (A) the Major Transaction Redemption Premium multiplied 20 by the Redemption Principal Amount
being redeemed, plus (B) the Supplementary Amounts. (e) Escrow;
Payment of Major Transaction Redemption Price. The Company shall not effect
a Major Transaction unless it shall first place, or shall cause the Successor
Entity to place, into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing the Major Transaction (the
Major Transaction Escrow Deadline), an amount equal to the Major
Transaction Redemption Price. Concurrently upon closing of any Major
Transaction, the Company shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the
Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder, which payment shall constitute
a Redemption Upon Major Transaction of the Debenture. (f) Injunction.
In the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction
without placing the Major Transaction Redemption Price in escrow in accordance
with subsection (e) above or without payment of the Major Transaction Redemption
Price to the Holder upon consummation of such Major Transaction, the Buyer shall
have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such
Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid to the
Holder, in full. (g)
Mechanics of Redemptions Upon Major Transactions. Redemptions required by
this Section 4 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and
shall have priority to payments to shareholders in connection with a Major
Transaction. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(g) are deemed
or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the
Debenture by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary
prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, until
the Major Transaction Redemption Price (together with any Supplementary Amounts
thereon) is paid in full, the Redemption Principal Amount submitted for
redemption under this Section and the Supplementary Amounts may be converted
(a Major Transaction Conversion), in whole or in part, by the Holder
into shares of Common Stock upon written notice (Major Transaction
Conversion Notice) to the Company (or the Successor Entity, if applicable),
or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of a Change of
Entity Transaction (as defined above), into shares of publicly traded common
stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 4(b).
Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice of Conversion,
any principal amount of this Debenture converted during the period from the date
of the Major Transaction Redemption Notice until the date the Major Transaction
Redemption Price is paid in full shall be considered to be a conversion (instead
of a Redemption) of a portion of the Debenture that would have been subject to
such Redemption, and any amounts of this Debenture converted from time to time
during such period shall be converted in full into Common Stock at the
Conversion Price then in effect, and the dollar amount so converted into Common
Stock shall be deducted from the Redemption Principal Amount (as defined above)
and any Supplementary Amounts that are subject to such redemption. The parties
hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of
21 the Debenture under Section 4(d), the Holder's damages would be
uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict
future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable
substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption
premium due under Section 4(d) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be
deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment
opportunity and not as a penalty. Section
5. Effect of Certain
Events. (a) Participation.
The Holder, as the holder of the Debenture, shall be entitled to receive such
dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same
extent as if the Holder had completely converted the Debenture into Common Stock
(without regard to any limitations on Conversion herein or elsewhere and without
regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and
reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of
Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments
under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or
distribution to the holders of Common Stock. (b) Voting
Rights. The Holder shall obtain common shareholder voting rights with
respect to the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder plus the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Conversions of the
Debenture at any given time (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations).
(c) Rights
Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues
or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares,
warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any
class of Common Shares (the Purchase Rights), then the Holders will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder
had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete Conversion of the
Debenture (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
convertibility of the Debenture) immediately before the date on which a record
is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to
be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. Section
6. Adjustment Upon
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents and
Certain Other Events; Notice of Adjustment; Notice Failure
Adjustment. If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with
this Section 6 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
(including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued by the Company in connection with an Exempt Issuance) for a
consideration per share (the "New Issuance Price") less than a price (the
"Applicable Price") equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a
"Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such Dilutive 22 Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced
to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. The adjustments required by this
paragraph and by Sections 6(a) 6(d) below are referred to in the singular, as
a Subsequent Issuance Adjustment, and collectively as Subsequent
Issuance Adjustments. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion
Price under this Section 6, the following shall be applicable: (a)
Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and
the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than
the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 6(a), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts
of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to
any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon
exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. (b)
Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues
or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange
thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at
the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price
per share. For the purposes of this Section 6(b), the "lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or
exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if
any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common
Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. In the case of a Convertible
Security which is accompanied by Options (collectively, a Unit), the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security shall equal (i)
the consideration deemed received in exchange for the Convertible Security, as
determined in accordance with subsection 6(d) below, divided by (ii) the total
number of shares into which such Convertible Security is convertible or
exchangeable (notwithstanding any contractual limitation on the timing or amount
of conversions). (c)
Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price
provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon
the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or
the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time,
the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares in effect at the time
of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price and the
number of Conversion Shares which would have 23 been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible
Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional
consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 6(c),
if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of
the date of issuance of this Debenture are increased or decreased in the manner
described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 6
shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion
Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Conversion Shares. (d) Calculation
of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with
the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for their
Black Scholes value, and the other securities issued or sold in such integrated
transaction will be deemed to have been issued or sold for the balance of the
consideration received by the Company. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold
for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net
amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than
cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair
value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the Weighted Average Price of such security on the date of receipt. If
any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be
deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of
the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any
consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the
Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event
by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the
Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding
upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne by the Company. (e) Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible
Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date
of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
sold upon the 24 declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be. (f) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time prior to the date that all of
the Debentures have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in
accordance with their terms, shall 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 (the Base Rights
Offering Price) that is lower than the Conversion Price then in effect,
then the Conversion Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to the Base
Rights Offering Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or
warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights,
options or warrants. No adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment
would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. (g) Milestone
Adjustments. If the Company shall have failed (each a Milestone
Failure) to meet or exceed any of the milestone goals (Milestone
Goals) that are set forth on Schedule 6(g) annexed hereto for any
one or more of the following periods (each a Milestone Period): (i) the
six (6) month period ending October 31, 2008 or (ii) the twelve (12) month
period ending April 30, 2009 (each a Milestone Date), as reported in
the Companys Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) for such fiscal
period, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced (but not increased) (each, a
Milestone Adjustment) to equal the lesser of (a) the Conversion Price
then in effect, (b) the Market Price as determined on the applicable Milestone
Date, or (c) the Market Price as determined on the date (each, a Milestone
Adjustment Date) that is five (5) Trading Days after the date that Company
files its next Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) with the Commission
following the end of the applicable Milestone Period (the Milestone
Adjustment Price). Each
such adjustment shall be effective as of the first day following each Milestone
Date (by way of example, if the Milestone Goals are not met for the Milestone
Period ending October 31, 2008, the reduction is effective immediately on
November 1, 2008). As to any Conversions by the Holder that occurred following
the end of a Milestone Period but prior to the date the Companys periodic
report was filed (Interim Period), the Company shall
retroactively send the Holder additional Conversion Shares (Interim
Conversion Shares) within 3 Trading Days of the date of the applicable
filing if an adjustment is required hereunder (provided that to the extent any
such shares would cause the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to be exceeded, such
excess shares shall not be issued and delivered until such time as such shares
may be so issued without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The
number of additional Conversion Shares issued shall be equal to the number of
Conversion Shares receivable from such Conversions based on the adjusted
Conversion Price less any Conversion Shares previously received on account of
such Conversions. Any subsequent restatements of the Companys financials shall
require similar retroactive issuances if the aforementioned events are
subsequently deemed to have occurred. The Company shall provide written notice
to the Holder no later than 1 Business Day following the Companys filing of the
25 applicable periodic report with the Commission, indicating
therein the new Conversion Price and the revenue for the applicable Milestone
Period. In the event that there is an adjustment to the Conversion Price
pursuant to any other provision under this Debenture during the Interim Period,
the Conversion Price shall be the lower of (i) the Conversion Price as adjusted
pursuant to the other provisions of this Debenture and (ii) the new Conversion
Price as determined hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(i) the provision shall only have the effect of reducing the Conversion Price
and (ii) each adjustment shall be permanent notwithstanding future Revenue or
the achievement of any other milestones and cumulative with any other
adjustments hereunder. (h) Adjustments
to Conversion Price During Major Announcements.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Debenture to the contrary, in
the event the Company makes any public announcement (the date of such
announcement is hereinafter referred to as the Announcement Date)
anytime during the period beginning five (5) Business Days before any Milestone
Adjustment Date and ending five (5) Business Days after such Milestone
Adjustment Date (the Protected Period), then the Milestone
Adjustment Price for such Milestone Adjustment shall equal the lesser of
(X) the Milestone Adjustment Price as determined pursuant to Section 6(g) above,
(Y) the Market Price as determined on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Announcement Date and (Z) the Market Price as determined on the date that is ten
(10) Trading Days after the Announcement Date. (i) Pro
Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the date that all
of the Debentures have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in
accordance with their terms, distributes 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
(other than the Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 6(a) 6(d)
above), 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
1 outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors
of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described
in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to 1 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. (j)
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the 26 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines
(by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number
of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately increased. (k) Notice
of Dilutive Issuances and Adjustments; Notice Failure Adjustment. The
Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) Business Day
following any Dilutive Issuance, indicating therein the applicable issuance
price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, exercise
price and other pricing terms (such notice, the Dilutive Issuance
Notice). In the event that the Company fails to provide the Holder with a
Dilutive Issuance Notice within five (5) Business Days of any Dilutive Issuance
(the Dilutive Issuance Notice Deadline), the Conversion Price shall be
permanently reduced (but not increased) on the Dilutive Issuance Notice
Deadline, and on the same day of each calendar month thereafter until such
notice is given (each, a Notice Failure Adjustment Date), or in each
case if not a business day, then on the next business day (each, a Notice
Failure Adjustment) to a price equal to the lesser of (a) the Conversion
Price then in effect or (b) 100% of the VWAP for five (5) trading day period
immediately preceding the applicable Notice Failure Adjustment Date
(collectively, the Notice Failure Adjustment Price). The
Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) Business Day
following any Milestone Adjustment Date, indicating therein the applicable
Milestone Adjustment Price (such notice, a Milestone Adjustment
Notice). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides
a Dilutive Issuance Notice or a Milestone Adjustment Notice pursuant to this
Section 6(k), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance or Milestone
Adjustment, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares
based upon the Conversion Price (as adjusted) on or after the date of such
Dilutive Issuance or Milestone Adjustment, as applicable, regardless of whether
the Holder accurately refers to the Conversion Price (as adjusted) in the Notice
of Conversion. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this
Section 6 or otherwise, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice
(a Conversion Price Adjustment Notice) setting forth the Conversion
Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company
provides a Conversion Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 6(k),
upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Conversion
Price, the Holders are entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based
upon the new Conversion Price, as adjusted, for Conversions occurring on or
after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether a Holder accurately
refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion. (l) Notice
to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (ii) the
Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of
the Common Stock, (iii) 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 27 stock of any class or of any rights, (iv) 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 (v) 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
7. Automatic Redemption
at End of Term; Monthly Redemption. (a) Automatic
Redemption at End of Term. Any Debenture that has not been submitted for
Conversion into Common Stock and has not been subjected to a Default Notice by
midnight, New York City time, on the Maturity Date (the Automatic Redemption
Date), shall be automatically redeemed (Automatic Redemption) for
a redemption price, in cash, equal to the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest, Liquidated Damages and other
Required Cash Payments (the Automatic Redemption Amount). The Automatic
Redemption Amount shall be due and payable within five (5) Trading Days of the
Automatic Redemption Date. (b) Monthly
Redemption. On each Monthly Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem an
amount of the Debenture equal to the Monthly Redemption Amount (each, a
Monthly Redemption). The Monthly Redemption Amount is payable on each
Monthly Redemption Date in cash; provided, however, as to any Monthly Redemption
and upon twenty (20) Trading Days prior written irrevocable notice (the
Monthly Redemption Notice), in lieu of a cash redemption payment the
Company may elect to pay all or part of a Monthly Redemption Amount in shares of
Common Stock (the Monthly Redemption Shares (such number of shares to
be paid on a Monthly Redemption Date in Monthly Redemption Shares, the
Monthly Redemption Share Amount) based on a conversion price equal to
the Monthly 28 Redemption Share Conversion Price (subject to adjustment for
any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar event
affecting the Common Stock during such 20 Trading Day period) but subject to the
Monthly Share Payment Restriction (as defined below); provided, further, that
the Company may not pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in Monthly Redemption
Shares unless, on each day from the date the Holder receives the duly delivered
Monthly Redemption Notice through and until the date such Monthly Redemption is
paid in full, the Equity Conditions have been satisfied, unless waived in
writing by the Holder. The Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 3(b), any
principal amount of this Debenture subject to a Monthly Redemption at any time
prior to the date that the Monthly Redemption Amount, plus accrued but unpaid
interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing to the Holder are
due and paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable
Notice of Conversion, any principal amount of this Debenture converted during
the applicable Monthly Conversion Period until the date the Monthly Redemption
Amount is paid in full shall be first applied to the principal amount subject to
the Monthly Redemption Amount payable in cash and then to the Monthly Redemption
Share Amount. Any principal amount of this Debenture converted during the
applicable Monthly Conversion Period in excess of the Monthly Redemption Amount
shall be applied against the last principal amount of this Debenture scheduled
to be redeemed hereunder, in reverse time order from the Maturity Date. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notice of Conversions
tendered up until such amounts are paid in full. The Companys determination to
pay a Monthly Redemption in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination
thereof shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding
Debentures based on their (or their predecessors) initial purchases of
Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. At any time the Company delivers
a notice to the Holder of its election to pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in
shares of Common Stock, the Company shall file any legally required prospectus
supplement pursuant to Rule 424 disclosing such election. Each Monthly
Redemption Notice shall specifically set forth the manner in which the Company
intends to pay the applicable Monthly Redemption Amount (i.e., the amount to be
paid in cash and/or the amount to be paid in Common Stock). Notwithstanding the
above, the Holder, at its option upon written notice to the Company, may defer
any one or more Monthly Redemptions until the Maturity Date, in which case the
Monthly Redemption Date for that Monthly Redemption Amount shall be the Maturity
Date. For
purposes hereof, Monthly
Redemption Amount shall mean the Original Principal Amount, divided by
eighteen (18). Monthly
Redemption Date means the 1st Business Day of each month, commencing
immediately upon November 1, 2008, and continuing until this Debenture is fully
redeemed or converted. Monthly
Redemption Share Conversion Price shall mean the lesser of (i) 85% of the
average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock 29 over the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the applicable Monthly Redemption Date, or (ii) the
Conversion Price then in effect. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Corporation may not issue a number of
shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Monthly Share Amount toward the
payment of Interest and Monthly Redemption Amounts, in the aggregate, for all of
the Debentures including but not limited to the Other Debentures, in the
aggregate, during any rolling twenty (20) Trading Day period, such shares to be
pro-rated among the Holders based upon the original principal amount of each
Holders Debenture in relation to the aggregate original principal amount of all
Debentures issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement)(collectively,
the Monthly Share Payment Restriction). Section
8. Senior Debt; Secured
Obligation.
(a) Senior Debt; Priority. The
Debentures shall constitute senior debt of the Company. There is no debt
currently outstanding that is senior to the Debentures except as otherwise set
forth on Schedule 8(a). All future debt issued by the Company or any
Subsidiary shall be subordinated and junior to the Debentures. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary shall, without the written permission of the Holder,
issue any other debt that is senior to, or pari passu with, the Debentures. From
the Original Issue Date of the Debentures through the date that all of the
Debentures have been paid in full or converted in full, before entering into, or
permitting any Subsidiary to enter into, any future debt with a third party, the
Company shall first obtain a subordination agreement, satisfactory to Holder,
from the proposed debt holder.
(b) Secured Obligation. The
obligations of the Company under this Debenture are secured by all assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Agreement (Security
Agreement) of date even herewith, between the Company, certain of the
Subsidiaries of the Company and the Secured Parties (as defined therein). Section
9. Certain Negative
Covenants; Misc. Without the prior written consent of the Required
Holders, for so long as any of the Debentures remain Outstanding, the Company
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly: (a)
(i) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other
distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of
capital stock or (ii) directly or indirectly or through any Subsidiary of the
Company make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock.
For purposes hereof, each Debenture or any portion thereof shall be deemed to be
Outstanding until such time as it has been converted, redeemed or
otherwise satisfied in accordance with its terms. (b)
redeem, repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange
for property or other securities or otherwise) in any one transaction or series
of related transactions any shares of capital stock of the Company or any
warrants, rights or 30 options to purchase or acquire any such shares, other than as
to the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares as permitted under the Transaction
Documents. (c) by
amendment of its charter documents, including but not limited to the Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the
Debenture, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions
of the Debenture and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of
the Holder of the Debenture.
(d) other than Permitted Indebtedness (as
defined herein), enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist
any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a
guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or
hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom
(the Indebtedness Negative Covenant); (e) other
than Permitted Liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or
in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, "Liens") of any kind,
on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter
acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;
(f) enter into any transaction with any Affiliate
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Company, except with
respect to standard employment arrangements with officers and directors and
employees of the Company;
(g) redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or
make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in
whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers,
private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any Indebtedness,
whether by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on such Indebtedness, if at the time such payment is due or is
otherwise made or after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting, or
that with the passage of time and without being cured would constitute, an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing; (h)
make any payment on any indebtedness owed to officers, directors or Affiliates;
or (i) enter
into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. 31 Section
10. Events of
Default. Unless
waived by the Required Holders, each of the following events shall be considered
to be an "Event Of Default": (a) Failure
to Make Cash Payments When Due. The Company fails to pay (each, a
Payment Failure) any cash payments due to the Holder under the terms of
this Debenture when due under this Debenture, whether on an interest or dividend
payment due date, at maturity, upon mandatory prepayment, upon acceleration,
upon an Event of Failure, or upon any Redemption or otherwise or fails to pay
any Liquidated Damages or other cash payments that are due and owing under this
Debenture, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement,
a Warrant or any other Transaction Document when due, including but not limited
to all accrued and unpaid Interest and Redemption Amounts, and accrued and
unpaid Interest thereon (each cash payment referred to above is referred to as a
Required Cash Payment), or fails to pay any late fees accrued on any of
the above, and such Payment Failure continues for a period of ten (10) days
after the applicable due date; or (b) Conversion
and Delivery of the Shares. The Company (i) fails to issue and deliver
shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise by the Holder of the
Conversion Rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Debenture
by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the Conversion Date, or
(ii) fails for a period of ten (10) Business days to transfer or cause its
Transfer Agent to transfer (electronically or in certificated form) any
certificate for shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to the Holder upon
Conversion of the Debenture as and when required by the terms of this Debenture
or upon exercise the Warrant as and when required by the terms of the Warrant;
or (c) Failure
to Effect and Maintain Registration. If (i) the Company fails to file any
Registration Statement or Additional Registration Statement within 45 days of
the date that such filing is required under the Registration Rights Agreement,
or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration
of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within ten (10) Trading Days of the
date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier)
by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or
will not be subject to further review, or (iii) during the Registration Period
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), either (A) the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement lapses for any reason outside of the Companys

period; provided, however, that if the Company is negotiating a merger,
consolidation, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or
a similar or other material transaction and, in the written opinion of counsel
to the Company, the Registration Statement would be required to be amended to
include information concerning such 32 pending transaction(s) or the parties thereto which information

from the Holder and (ii) ten (10) Trading Days after the Company has become or
should have become aware of such breach; or (e) Breach

warranty of the Company made herein, in any of the Transaction Documents or in
any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto
(including, without limitation, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,

shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of
which has a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to
this Debenture, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Security Agreement or the Warrants; or (f) Receiver

and remains uncured for a period of 10 Trading days, where a Delisting
Event means that the Common Stock is not listed or traded with an Eligible

Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that the 33 Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the
full Conversion Amount of this Debenture and upon an exercise in full of the
Warrants held by the Holder (without regard to any Beneficial Ownership
Limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) or otherwise or any
analogous provisions of the Warrants), and such shortfall is not cured within
ten (10) Business Days; or (j) Legend
Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined below) occurs and
remains uncured for a period of fifteen (15) Business days, where Legend
Removal Failure means a failure by the Company to issue Conversion Shares,

thereof), in each case pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof, Section 6 of the
Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise pursuant to this Debenture, the
Securities Purchase Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; or
(k) Corporate

Dispute Resolution Procedure required herein), and such failure continues for an
additional ten (10) days after the Holder provides written notice (a Dispute
Resolution Procedure Demand) to the Company that such performance by the
Company is required; or (o)
Cross-Default. A default in the payment when due on any Indebtedness of
the Company in excess of $100,000, in the aggregate, not involving a legitimate

to Make Timely Public Filings. The Company shall fail to Timely File any
reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed
by it with the Commission pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934
Act. For purposes of this Agreement, Timely Filed shall mean that the
applicable document was filed (i) within five (5) days of its original due date
under the 1934 Act, or, (ii) if a request for an extension was timely filed in
accordance with Section 12b-25 of the 1934 Act, by such extended due date. Section
11. Mandatory Redemption;
Posting of Bond. (a) Mandatory
Redemption. If any Events of Default shall occur then, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the
Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the
Company by such Holders (the "Default Notice"), the Debenture shall
become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the Holder (a
Mandatory Redemption), in full satisfaction of its obligations
hereunder, an amount (such amount referred to herein as the "Default
Amount" or the Mandatory Redemption Amount) equal to the greater of
(i) and (ii) immediately below: (i)
the Mandatory Redemption Premium, multiplied by the sum (such sum of (x), plus
(y), plus (z) immediately below shall be referred to herein as the "Default
Conversion Sum") of (x)
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, PLUS (y)
all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon for the period beginning on the Original
Issue Date and ending on the date of payment of the Default Amount (the
"Default Payment Date"), PLUS (z)
all accrued and unpaid Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash Payments, if
any, and 35 (ii)
the Conversion Value of the Default Conversion Sum to be prepaid, where
Conversion Value means (x)
the Default Conversion Sum divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the date
that the Company pays the Default Amount; MULTIPLIED BY (y)
the greater of (i) the Market Price (as defined herein) for the Common Stock on
the Default Notice Date or (ii) the Market Price on the date that the Company
pays the Default Amount. Notwithstanding
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Liquidated Damages and any other Required
Cash Payments shall continue to accrue. Five (5) Business Days after the
Companys receipt of the Holders Default Notice (the Default Amount Due
Date), the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable
hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand,
presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with
all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of
collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and
remedies available at law or in equity. If the Company fails to pay the Default
Amount by the Default Amount Due Date, (i) the Conversion Price shall be
permanently decreased (but not increased)(each, a Default Adjustment)
on the first Trading Day of each calendar month thereafter (each a Default
Adjustment Date) until the Default Amount is paid in full, to a price equal
to the lesser of (x) 90% of the Conversion Price in effect on the first such
Default Adjustment Date, or (y) the lowest Market Price that has occurred on any
Default Adjustment Date since the date that the Event of Default began and (ii)
at any time thereafter, the Holder shall have the right at any time, and from
time to time, so long as the Company remains in default (and so long and to the
extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Company,
upon written notice (Default Conversion Notice) (which may be given one
or more times, from time to time anytime after the Default Amount Due Date), to
immediately issue, in lieu of all or any specified portion (the Specified
Portion) of the unpaid portion (the Unpaid Portion) of the Default
Amount (together with any Late Payment Fees accrued thereon), a number of shares
(the Default Shares) of Common Stock, subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation then in effect, equal to the Specified Portion of the
Default Amount (together with any accrued Late Payment Fees thereon) divided by
the Conversion Price in effect on the date such shares are issued to the Holder,
PROVIDED THAT, the Holder may require that such payment of shares be made in one
or more installments at such time and in such amounts as Holder chooses. The
Default shares are due within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Holder
delivers a Default Conversion Notice to the Company (the Default Share
Delivery Deadline). 36 To
the extent redemptions required by this Section 11 are deemed or determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Debenture by the
Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the
Company is unable to redeem all of the Debenture submitted for redemption, the
Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the principal
amount of the Debenture submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the
total principal amount of Debentures submitted for redemption by all Holders.
The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any
portion of the Debenture under this Section 11, the Holder's damages would be
uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict
future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable
substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Mandatory
Redemption Amount due under this Section 11 is intended by the parties to be,
and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its
investment opportunity and not as a penalty. The
Holder shall not be entitled to receive Default Shares on a given date if and to
the extent that such issuance would cause the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
then in effect to be exceeded. If and to the extent that the issuance of Default
Shares with respect to a given Specified Portion would result in a violation of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then that particular Specified Portion
shall be automatically reduced to a value that would cause the number of Default
Shares to be issued to equal the Maximum Percentage, and the amount of such
reduction shall be added back to the Unpaid Portion of the Default Amount. Upon
the payment in full of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, the Holder shall
promptly surrender this Debenture to or as directed by the Company (or, if
applicable, shall submit a signed notice that such Debenture has been lost,
stolen or destroyed). 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 Holder 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 11. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. (b) Posting
of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder or
any Event of Default occurs under any of the Transaction Documents (as defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement), then the Company may not raise as a legal
defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to
such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or
affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the
Company has posted a surety bond (a Surety Bond) for the benefit of
such Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined
below) of all of the Holders Debenture and Warrants (the Bond Amount),
which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the 37 completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of
which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment. For
purposes hereof, a Lawsuit shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other
dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of the
Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). Debenture
Market Value shall mean the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture,
plus any accrued and unpaid Interest, Liquidated Damages and other Required Cash
Payments, divided by the lowest Conversion Price in effect at any time during
the period between the applicable Event of Default and the filing of the Surety
Bond required by this subsection (the Surety Bond Pricing Period), all
multiplied by the highest Closing Price during the Surety Bond Pricing Period.
Surety
Bond Value, for each Debenture, shall mean 130% of the highest Debenture
Market Value (as defined above) of each of the Holders Debenture and for each
Warrant, shall mean 130% of the highest Black Scholes value (as defined in the
Warrants) of each of the Holders Warrants (where, in each case, such highest
market value represents the highest value determined during the period from the
date of the subject Event of Default through the Trading Day preceding the date
that such Surety Bond goes into effect). (c) Injunction
and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in
subsection 11(b) above pertains to the Companys failure to deliver unlegended
shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Debenture Conversion, Warrant
Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such
unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one
associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of
law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining
and or enjoining Conversion of all or part of said Debenture shall have been
sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for
the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount (as described
above), which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of
the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the
extent Holder obtains judgment. (d) Redemption
by Other Holders. Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any of the
holders of the Other Debentures for redemption or repayment as a result of an
event or occurrence of an Event of Default or a Major Transaction (each, an
"Other Redemption Notice"), the Company shall immediately, but no later
than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by
facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and
one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period
beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to
the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and ending on and
including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt
of the Holder's Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all
principal, interest and other amounts designated in such 38 Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received
during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro
rata amount from each holder of the Debentures (including the Holder) based on
the principal amount of the Debentures submitted for redemption pursuant to such
Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company
during such seven (7) Business Day period. Section
12. Holders
Redemptions. (a) Mechanics
of Holders Redemptions. In the event that the Holder has sent a Major
Transaction Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 4(d) or a
Default Notice pursuant to Section 11(a), respectively (each, a Redemption
Notice), the Holder shall promptly submit this Debenture to the Company. In
the event of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding principal amount
of this Debenture, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered
to the Holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding principal amount
which has not been redeemed. (b) Warrants
Detachable. Neither an MFN Exchange (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) nor any Redemption of the Debenture shall have any effect on the
Holders Warrants. The Warrants constitute a separate, detachable security from
the Debentures. Notwithstanding any MFN Exchange or Redemption of the Debenture,
the Holder shall retain all of its outstanding Warrants. (c) Maximum
Interest Rate. To the extent that the redemption premium for any Redemption
is deemed to constitute a payment of interest under applicable law, the amount
of such premium shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
Section
13. Late Payment
Fees. Any
accrued amount under the Transaction Documents, whether principal, Interest,
Liquidated Damages, a Redemption Amount, Default Amount, or otherwise, which is
not paid when within three Business Days of the date due shall result in a late
charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest
on such amount at the rate of eighteen (18%) per annum or the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law which shall accrued from the date such amount was
due until the same is paid in full ("Late Payment Fees"). Section
14. Liquidated Damages;
Injunction. (a) Payment
of Liquidated Damages. The accrued Liquidated Damages for each Event of
Failure shall be paid in cash on or before the fifth (5th) day of each month
following a month in which Liquidated Damages accrued, PROVIDED that, at the
option of the Holder (by written notice to the Company), if such payments are
not paid within the time period specified, at the option of the Holder, such
payments shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture,
in which event interest shall 39 accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Debenture
and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock at
the applicable Conversion Price in accordance with the terms of this Debenture.
Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual damages (to the
extent in excess of the Liquidated Damages) for the Company's Event of Failure,
and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or
in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).
Any shares of Common Stock issued upon Conversion of such amounts shall be
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Liquidated Damages
or pursuant to a Redemption shall give rise to liquidated damages and not
penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or
damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to
precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and
are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be
incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties
and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel
and negotiated this Agreement at arms length. Liquidated Damages are in
addition to any other payments that are or become due hereunder, including but
not limited to Interest Payments and any Shares that the Holder is entitled to
receive upon Conversion of this Debenture.
(b) Maximum Rate of Interest. Nothing
contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a
rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to
be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any
payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the
Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company. Section
15. Dispute Resolution.
In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion
Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Conversion Shares issuable
upon any conversion of this Debenture, the Company shall promptly issue to the
Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed and resolve such
dispute in accordance with this section. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Closing Price, Closing Bid Price or the Volume Weighted
Average Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price, Conversion
Price Adjustment, the amount of any Required Cash Payment amount, Interest or
dividend calculation, or any redemption price, redemption amount, Default Amount
or similar calculation, or the determination of whether or not a Dilutive
Issuance, a Milestone Failure, any other event which would lead to an adjustment
or the Conversion Price, or any issuance of Variable Equity Securities (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) has occurred, the Company shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile
within two (2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Conversion
Notice, any redemption notice, Default Notice or other event giving rise to such
dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are
unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business
Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to
the Holder, then the Company shall, within 40 two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed
determination of the Closing Price, Closing Bid Price or the Volume Weighted
Average Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the
Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price,
Conversion Price Adjustment or any redemption price, redemption amount or
Default Amount to the Companys independent, outside accountant or (c) the
disputed facts regarding the occurrence of a Dilutive Issuance, Milestone
Failure or issuance of Variable Equity Securities (or any other matter mentioned
above which is not specifically required to be submitted to the investment bank
or the accountant) to an expert attorney from a nationally recognized outside
law firm (having at least 100 attorneys and having with no prior relationship
with the Company) selected by the Company and approved by the Lead Investor as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). The Company, at the Companys
expense, shall cause the investment bank, the accountant, the law firm, or other
expert, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and
notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business
Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such
investment banks or accountants determination or calculation, as the case may
be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error (collectively,
the Dispute Resolution Procedures). Section
16. Miscellaneous.
(a)
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part
of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of
any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder
are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available. (b) Notices.
Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and
may be personally served or delivered by courier or sent by United States mail
and shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt if personally served (which
shall include telephone line facsimile transmission) or sent by courier or five
(5) days after being deposited in the United States mail, certified, with
postage pre-paid and properly addressed, if sent by mail. For the purposes
hereof, the address of the Holder shall be as shown on the records of the
Company; and the address of the Company shall be as follows: Attn: Sass
Peress, President, CEO & Chairman, ICP Solar Technologies, Inc. 7075
Place Robert-Joncas, Montreal H4M272, Phone: 514-270-5770. Both the Holder
and the Company may change the address for service by service of written notice
to the other as herein provided. The Company shall provide the Holder with
prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Debenture, including
in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written
notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion
Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of
such adjustment and (ii) at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which
the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with 41 respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock,
(B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock
or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Major Transaction,
dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be
made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being
provided to the Holder. (c) Payments.
Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant
to this Debenture or otherwise pursuant to the Transaction Documents, such
payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by a check
drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to
such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing
(which address, in the case of each of the Buyers, shall initially be as set
forth on the Schedule of Buyers attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement);
provided that the Holder may elect to receive a payment of cash via wire
transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior
written notice setting out such request and the Holder's wire transfer
instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this
Debenture is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead
be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of
any Interest Payment Date which is not the date on which this Debenture is paid
in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account
for purposes of determining the amount of Interest due on such date. (d) Amendments.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Debentures, the Other
Debentures, and any provision hereof or thereof may only be amended by an
instrument in writing signed by the Required Holders. (e) Assignability.
This Debenture shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and
assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and
assigns. (f) Payment
of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (i) this Debenture is placed
in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or
enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to
collect amounts due under this Debenture or to enforce the provisions of this
Debenture or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of
the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors' rights and
involving a claim under this Debenture, then the Company shall pay the costs
incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in
connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other
proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements.
(g) Governing
Law; Equitable Relief. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture or the Transaction Documents
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 conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the 42 interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether
brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in
the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan 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 any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an 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 Agreement 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 law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions
of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such action or proceeding. (h) Certain
Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Debenture the Company is required
to pay an amount in excess of the principal amount of the outstanding Debenture
(or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and
unpaid Interest (including but not limited to any Liquidated Damages or other
Required Cash Payments), the Company and the Holder agree that the actual
damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Debenture may be
difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Company represents
stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in
part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Debenture and to earn a return
from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon Conversion of this
Debenture at a price in excess of the price paid for such Shares pursuant to
this Debenture. The Company and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of
stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the
Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert
this Debenture into shares of Common Stock. (i) Rule
144 Hold Period. For purposes of Rule 144, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of this Debenture
shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time the Debenture was issued.
Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period
for the Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of this Debenture shall be deemed
to have commenced on the date this Debenture was issued. 43 (j) Purchase
Agreement. By its acceptance of the Debenture, the Holder agrees to be bound
by the applicable terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. (k) Notice
of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided in this Debenture,
the Holder of this Debenture shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock
unless and only to the extent that it converts this Debenture into Common Stock.
The Company shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of
the Company's shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information
sent to shareholders). In the event the Company takes a record of its
shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to

There are no outstanding securities which are convertible into shares of Common

disclosed on Schedule 3(c-1). If any such securities are listed on the
Schedule 3(c-1), the number or amount of each such outstanding
convertible security and the conversion terms are set forth in said Schedule
3(c-1). All of such outstanding shares of capital stock set forth in
Schedule 3(c-1) are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. No

adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any
agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be triggered by the
issuance of the Debenture, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares, the Payment
Shares, or the Warrant Shares. The Company has furnished to each Buyer true and
correct copies of the Company's and each Subsidiarys Articles of Incorporation
as in effect on the date hereof ("Articles of Incorporation"), the
Company's Bylaws, as in effect on the date hereof (the "By-Laws"), and
the terms of all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of
the Company and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.
In the event that the date of execution of this Agreement is not the Closing
Date, the Company shall provide each Buyer with a written update of this
representation signed by the Company's President and Chief Executive or Chief
Financial Officer on behalf of the Company as of the Closing Date (Closing
Bring-Down Certificate). No further approval or authorization of any
stockholder, the Board of Directors of the Company or others is required for the
issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders agreements,
voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Companys
capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, between or among any of the Companys stockholders. (d)

upon the holder thereof, other than restrictions on transfer under the
Transaction Documents, applicable state and federal securities laws, or liens or

Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company understands and
acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock upon the
issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to
the Debentures or upon issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of or
otherwise pursuant to the Warrants. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant
to the Debentures, to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of or otherwise
pursuant to the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement, and to otherwise
issue Payment Shares or other shares of Common Stock to the Buyer is absolute
and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have
on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company. Taking the
foregoing into account, the Company's Board of Directors has determined, in its
good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities hereunder and
under the Debentures and the Warrants and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby are in the best interest of the Company and its
stockholders. 14 (f)
No Conflicts. Except as otherwise set forth in
Schedule 3(f), the execution, delivery and performance of each of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the
issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of
the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, (ii) trigger any resets of
conversion or exercise prices in other outstanding convertible securities,
warrants or options of the Company, (iii) trigger the issuance of securities by
the Company to any third party, (iv) violate or conflict with, or result in a
breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with

agreement, indenture, or to the knowledge of the Company, patent, patent license
or instrument to which the Company or any of its Active Subsidiaries is a party,
or (v) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and
regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its
securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Active
Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Active Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except, in the case of clauses (i),
(iv) and (v) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its
Active Subsidiaries is in violation of its Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or
other organizational documents and neither the Company nor any of its Active
Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse
of time or both could put the Company or any of its Active Subsidiaries in
default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Active Subsidiaries has
taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any
agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Active
Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company or any
of its Active Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
businesses of the Company and its Active Subsidiaries, if any, are not being
conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as a Buyer owns any of the
Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
entity, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as

governmental agency, regulatory agency, self regulatory organization or stock
market or any third party in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of
its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Debentures or the Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to
issue and sell the Debentures and Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof
and to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to
the Debentures and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to
the Warrants. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(f), all consents,
authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required

Acknowledgment Regarding Buyers Purchase of
Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer
is acting solely in the capacity of arm's length purchaser, and severally, and
not jointly, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. The Company further acknowledges that each Buyer is not acting as a
financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with
respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that any
statement made by each Buyer or any of its respective representatives or agents
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is
not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to such Buyers purchase
of the Securities and has not been relied upon by the Company, its officers or
directors in any way. The Company further represents to each Buyer that the
Company's decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the
independent evaluation of the Company and its representatives. (o)
No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of
its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would require 20 registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the
Securities to any Buyer. The issuance of the Securities to each Buyer will not
be integrated with any other issuance of the Company's securities (past, current
or future) for purposes of any stockholder approval provisions applicable to the
Company or its securities. (p)
No Brokers. The identity of any brokers, finders or
placement agents (each, a Finder) that are receiving compensation in
respect to this Offering, along with the amount of cash, warrants or other
consideration that compose any compensation to each such Finder, are disclosed
in Schedule 3(p) hereto. Other than as set forth on Schedule 3(p),
the Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person
for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar payments relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless each of Buyer, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and
partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses,
damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorney's fees) and
expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees. (q)
Conduct of Business; Regulatory Permits; Compliance.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises,
grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exemptions,
consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate
its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted
(collectively, the "Company Permits"), except where the failure to so
possess any such Company Permits would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and
there is no action pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened
regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or
violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts,
defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company
nor any of its Active Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default
under its respective Certificates or Articles of Incorporation or its Bylaws or
their organizational charter or bylaws, respectively. Since the beginning of the
most recent fiscal quarter that began more than two (2) years prior to the
Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or
violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible
conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary
has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit. To the best of
the Companys knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of
any of the foregoing, except for possible violations which could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is
not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the
Principal Market, except for possible violations which could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead to
delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by its Principal Market in the
foreseeable future. 21 (r)
Title To Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and
marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule
3(r) or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property
and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by
them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as
would not have a Material Adverse Effect. (s)
Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any
of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director,
officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any
Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company,
used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or
other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or
indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; or made any bribe, rebate,
payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or
domestic government official or employee. (t)
Solvency. The Company and its Subsidiaries,
individually and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof, and
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the
Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below) and currently the Company has
no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company or any
subsidiary would not have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action
that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in
connection therewith as such debts mature. Except as disclosed in Schedule
3(t), the Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with
respect to its most recent fiscal year end and does not anticipate or know of
any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of
its current fiscal year. For purposes of this Section 3(t), Insolvent
means (i) the present fair saleable value of the Companys assets is less than
the amount required to pay the Companys total Indebtedness, (ii) the Company is
unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) the Company
intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its
ability to pay as such debts mature or (iv) the Company has unreasonably small
capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such
business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted. (u)
No Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the
issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will not
be, an "investment company" required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (an "Investment Company"). The Company is not
controlled by an Investment Company. (v)
No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company has no
liabilities or obligations which are material, individually or in the aggregate,
other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's businesses
which have been disclosed in the Companys public filings and which, 22 individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect other than as set forth in Schedule
3(v). (w)
No Disagreements With Accountants And Lawyers. There
are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated
by the Company or any Subsidiary to arise, between the Company or any Subsidiary
and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company or
any Subsidiary, including but not limited to disputes or conflicts over payment
owed to such accountants and lawyers.
(x) Company Acknowledgment. The Company hereby
acknowledges that each Buyer may elect to hold its Debenture and the Warrants
for various periods of time, as permitted by the terms of the Transaction
Documents and the Company further acknowledges that Buyer has made no
representations or warranties, either written or oral, as to how long the
Securities will be held by such Buyer or regarding Buyers trading history or
investment strategies other than as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement.
(y)
Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor
any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Buyers or their
agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material, nonpublic
information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries other than the existence
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents. The Company understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will
rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of
the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company, its
business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to
this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company is true and correct in
all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement
did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or
information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its
or their business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions,
which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or
disclosed, or that would be required to be disclosed by the Company or any
Subsidiary under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form
SB-2 or any other appropriate form filed with the SEC relating to an issuance
and sale by the Company of its Common Stock, but which has not been so
disclosed, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and by the other Transaction Documents. (z)

that is ninety (90) days following the Effective Date (the Limitation
Period), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (the Equity Issuance Lock-Up),

shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
(ii) Capital Raising Limitations. During the period from the date hereof
until the date that is two (2) years following the Effective Date, so long as
any Debenture or Warrant remains outstanding, notwithstanding whether or not an
issuance of securities is an Exempt Issuance, the Company shall not issue or
sell, or agree to issue or sell Variable Equity Securities (as defined
below)(the Variable Equity Securities Lock-Up), without obtaining the
prior written approval of each of the Buyers, with the exception of any such
agreements or transactions that (x) exist as of the date hereof and (y) are not
amended or modified after the date hereof. For purposes hereof, the
following shall be collectively referred to herein as, the Variable Equity
Securities: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into,
exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares
of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other
price that is based upon and/or 28 varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common
Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security, or
(2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or
equity security due to a change in the market price of the Companys Common
Stock since date of initial issuance, or (B) any amortizing convertible security
which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is required to or
has the option to (or the investor in such transaction has the option to require
the Company to) make such amortization payments in shares of Common Stock
(whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity
conditions), or (C) any transaction involving a written agreement between the
Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to
put its securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of
time and at an agreed price or price formula (each, an Equity Line
transaction) or (D) any common stock that is accompanied by a number of warrants
greater than the number of warrants greater than the number of shares of common
stock sold by the Company in such transaction, or (E) any note, debenture or
other debt obligation that is accompanied by shares of Common Stock for which
the additional consideration paid per share of Common Stock is less than 90% of
the Market Price at the time of closing. For purposes of the above, the
Market Price at time of closing shall mean the Market Price, as defined
in the Debentures. It
is expressly agreed and understood that the Variable Equity Securities Lock-Up
shall apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance and that no issuance of
Variable Equity Securities shall be an Exempt Issuance.
(iii) Additional Debenture; Dilutive Issuances.
For long as any Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any
manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the
Debentures) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company to
be required to issue upon conversion of any Debenture without breaching the
Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market or
any applicable Eligible Market.
(iv) Buyers Right of Participation in Future Financings. (A)
From the date hereof and during the period that any amount of any Debenture is
outstanding, upon any financing by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each,
a Subsequent Financing) of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as
defined in Section 1(a)), excluding any securities issued pursuant to the
Offering described in this Agreement, each Buyer shall have the right to
participate (the Buyers Right of Participation) in up to the Buyers
Participation Maximum (as defined below) of the Subsequent Financing, provided
that any securities issued to the Buyer hereunder, and any securities issuable
pursuant to the conversion or exercise of such securities, shall be subject to
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. (B)
At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the
Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice of its intention to effect
a Subsequent Financing (an Advance Notice of Financing), which Advance
Notice of 29 Financing shall ask such Buyer if it wants to review the
details of such financing (such additional notice, a Subsequent Financing
Notice). Upon the request of a Buyer, and only upon a request by such
Buyer, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no
later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent
Financing Notice to such Buyer. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe
in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount
of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such
Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be
a term sheet or similar document relating thereto and complete, definitive legal
documentation (Legal Documents) for the proposed Subsequent
Financing. (C)
Any Buyer desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide
written notice (Participation Notice) to the Company by not later than
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such Buyer
has received the Advance Notice of Financing that the Buyer is willing to
participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Buyers
participation, and that the Buyer has such funds ready, willing, and available
for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the
Company receives no notice from a Buyer as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such
Buyer shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to
participate. Buyer shall not be obligated to participate in a Subsequent
Offering after delivering a Participation Notice to the Company until after the
Buyer has reviewed and agreed to the final Legal Documents for such offering.
(D)
If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day
after all of the requesting Buyers have received the Advance Notice of
Financing, notifications by the Buyers of their willingness to participate in
the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the
aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the
Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the
terms and to the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. (E)
If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of
the Buyers have received the Advance Notice of Financing, the Company receives
responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Buyers seeking to purchase more
than the aggregate amount of the Subsequent Financing, each such Buyer shall
have the right to purchase up to (the Buyers Participation Maximum)
(a) their Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Subsequent Financing, plus
(b) a pro rata amount (based upon the relative amount of the participating
Buyers respective Pro Rata Portions) of the aggregate of the unused Pro Rata
Portions of the other Buyers. For purposes hereof, Pro Rata Portion
shall mean the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on
the Closing Date by a Buyer participating under this Section 4(d)(iv) and (y)
the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the
Closing Date by all Buyers participating under this Section 4(d)(iv). (F)
For purposes of clarity, in the event that there is any amount of a Subsequent
Financing that is not requested to be purchased by a Buyer, then any other Buyer
shall have the right to purchase such remaining amount of the Subsequent
Financing. 30 (G)
The Company must provide the Buyers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice,
and the Buyers will again have the right of participation set forth above in
this Section 4(d)(iv), if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial
Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set
forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after
the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice. (H)
The Company and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the
Subsequent Financing, (x) neither the agreement regarding the Subsequent
Financing (the "Subsequent Placement Agreement") with respect to such
Subsequent Financing nor any other transaction documents related thereto
(collectively, the "Subsequent Placement Documents") shall include any
term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any
restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Buyer
prior to such Subsequent Financing, and (y) the Buyers shall be entitled to the
same registration rights provided to other investors in the Subsequent
Placement. (v)
Most Favored Nation (MFN) Securities Exchange Provision. From the date
hereof until the date when such Buyer holds less than 20% in principal amount of
Debentures originally purchased by such Buyer hereunder, if the Company effects
a Subsequent Financing, each Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to
exchange (an MFN Exchange) all or some of the Debentures then held by
such Buyer for any securities or units issued in a Subsequent Financing on a
$1.00 for $1.00 basis based on the outstanding principal amount of such
Debentures, along with any accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and
other amounts owing thereon, and the effective price at which such securities
were sold in such Subsequent Financing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
this Section 4(d)(v) shall not apply with respect to (a) an Exempt Issuance or
(b) a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common Stock with a
reputable national underwriter. The Company shall provide each Buyer with notice
of any such Subsequent Financing in the manner set forth in Section 4(d)(iv).
Following such an exchange, the Holder shall retain all of its unconverted
Warrants and shall receive any warrants, options or other ancillary securities
that normally accompany the securities being purchased and sold in the
Subsequent Financing. (vi)
Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement
and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a
decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing
herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual and consequential damages
for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any
of the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of
its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents,
including but not limited to a breach of its obligations under this Subsection
4(d) hereof, will cause irreparable harm to each Buyer, by vitiating the intent
and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to a
breach of its obligations under this Subsection 4(d) hereof, will be inadequate
and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, that each Buyer
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available 31 remedies in law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions
to prevent or cure any breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, including but not limited to a breach of its obligations
under this Subsection 4(d) hereof, and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including but
not limited to its obligations under this Subsection 4(d), without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
Specifically, the Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief to cause the
court to rescind any financing or financings or other transactions between the
Company and a third party that are in violation of this Subsection 4(d).
(e) Authorization And Reservation of Shares. (i)
Authorization and Reservation Requirements. The Company represents that
it has at least 100,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock and
covenants that it will initially reserve (the Initial Share
Reservation) from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to at least 150% of the Original Principal Amount
of the Debentures, divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the date of the
Initial Share Reservation, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the
issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Debentures and shall
initially reserve an additional number of shares equal to 125% of the Warrant
Amount, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrants (the Initial Share Reservation
Requirement). The Company further covenants that, beginning on the date
hereof, and continuing throughout the period that any Debentures or Warrants
remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved
(together with the Initial Share Reservation Requirement, collectively referred
to as the Ongoing Share Reservation Requirement) for the purpose of
issuance, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full
conversion or exercise of the outstanding portion of the Debentures and Warrants
and issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in connection therewith
(based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures) in effect from
time to time and the Exercise Price of the Warrants (as defined in the Warrants)
in effect from time to time). The Company shall not reduce the number of shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant
to the Debentures and exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants without
the consent of the Buyers. The Company shall at all times maintain the number of
shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at no less than 150% of the
number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the Debentures
(based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures) in effect from
time to time) and 125% of the number that is then actually issuable upon full
exercise of the Warrants (based on the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect
from time to time)(without regard to any limitations on the number of shares
issuable upon the Conversion of the Debentures or the Exercise of the
Warrants). (ii)
Stockholder Approval. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized and reserved for issuance is below 100% of the number of Conversion
Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the
Debentures (based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures) in
effect from time to time) and Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of
or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants (based on the Exercise Price of the
Warrants in effect from time to time), together with the Payment Shares and any
other shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the 32 terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company will promptly
take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number
of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of
stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company's obligations
under this Section 4(e), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized
shares, and using its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase
in such authorized number of shares.
(f) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers Trading
Activity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere
herein to the contrary, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that
(i) none of the Purchasers has been asked to agree by the Company, nor has any
Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short,
securities of the Company, or derivative securities based on securities issued
by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or
future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically
including, without limitation, Short Sales or derivative transactions, before
or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may
negatively impact the market price of the Companys publicly-traded securities,
(iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in derivative transactions to which
any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a
short position in the Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be
deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arms length
counter-party in any derivative transaction. The Company further understands
and acknowledges that (a) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging
activities at various times during the period that the Securities are
outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of
the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being
determined and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of
the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time
that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that
such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the
Transaction Documents. (g)
Listing. Subject to the terms of the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly secure the
listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so
long as any Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any
other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion
Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to
the Debentures and all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon exercise
of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts
to obtain and, so long as any Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the
listing and trading of its Common Stock on an Eligible Market (whichever
Eligible Market is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the
Common Stock is referred to herein as the "Principal Market"), and will
comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (FINRA) and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall
promptly provide to Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the Principal
Market and any other exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is
then listed regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing
on such exchanges and quotation systems. 33 (h)
Corporate Existence. So long as a Buyer beneficially
owns any portion of the Debentures or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its
corporate existence in good standing and remain a Reporting Issuer
(defined as a Company which files periodic reports under the 1934 Act). (i)
No Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for
sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security
(as defined in Section 2 of the 1933 Act) that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities to the Buyers in a manner that would require the
registration under the 1933 Act of the sale of the Securities to the Buyers or
that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes
of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market, except where such
integration (i) will not adversely affect the private offering exemption from
registration for this Offering or change the deemed date of Closing of this
Offering, (ii) will not cause the Rule 144 holding period for any of the
Securities issued or issuable to the Buyers to be delayed or extended, (iii)
will not limit or reduce the number of shares that can be registered for resale
in the Registration Statement under applicable securities laws, and (iv) will
not otherwise adversely affect the Buyers or the Securities issuable hereunder.
(j) Limitation on Sale or Disposition of Intellectual
Property. So long as any portion of the Debentures remain
outstanding, so long as the Company shall have any obligation under the
Debentures or so long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Corporation
shall not sell, convey, dispose of, spin off or assign any or all of its
Intellectual Property (including but not limited to the Intellectual Property
set forth in Schedules 3(j)(1) and (2) hereof), or any of the
Intellectual Property Rights, in each case without Buyers written consent,
provided that the Company may, without the Buyers written consent, enter into
one or more licensing agreements with respect to its Intellectual Property so
long as such licensing agreements exceed $5 million per calendar year and so
long as such agreements are not with any affiliate (as such term is defined in
Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) of the Company or with any relative of, or entity
controlled by, or any entity 10% or more of which is owned by, any officer,
director, employee or former employee of the Company, provided, further, that
the Company shall not be subject to the restrictions of this Section 4(j) if the
cash consideration received by the Company in exchange for such Intellectual
Property Rights exceeds $50 million. (k)
Limitation On Rate of Issuance of Shares. The parties
agree that, if by virtue of this AGREEMENT, or by virtue of any other agreement
between the parties, Holder becomes entitled to receive from the Company a
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (collectively, Issuable
Securities), such that the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
of the Company beneficially owned by Holder and any applicable affiliates (other
than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the
ownership of the unconverted portion of the Debenture, the unexercised Warrants
or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of Holder
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations
contained herein)(collectively, the Beneficially Owned Shares) and (2)
the number Issuable Securities described above, 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% (the Maximum
Percentage) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation), then the 34 Company, following the receipt of written instructions from the
Holder as to the number of shares of Common Stock that can be so issued, shall
immediately deliver to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company, that can be issued without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall not issue shares of Common Stock to the Buyer
in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For
purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) beneficial
ownership shall be determined by the Holder in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the 1934 Act and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in
clause (1) of such proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, and PROVIDED
THAT the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the
applicable notice from Holder includes a signed representation by the Holder
that the issuance of the shares in such notice will not violate the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall not be entitled to require
additional documentation of such satisfaction. The
parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any tender offer or
any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby the Company shall
not be the surviving entity (an Offer), or in the event the Company is
issuing Default Shares (as defined in the Debenture) to the Buyer, then 4.99%
shall be automatically revised immediately after such offer to read 9.99% each
place it occurs in the first two paragraphs of this Section 4(n) above.
Notwithstanding the above, Holder shall retain the option to either exercise or
not exercise its option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof
after an Offer. In addition, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of
this Section 4(k) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder,
upon not less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company, to change
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not less than 4.99%
and not in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of the Debenture held by the Holder or upon exercise of a
Warrant held by the Holder, as applicable, and the provisions of this Section
4(k) shall continue to apply, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs under
the Debenture (or the Warrant, as applicable), thereafter the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this section may be waived by such Holder, at
the election of such Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days prior
notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage
not less than 4.99% (and not limited to 9.99%) of the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and
the provisions of this section shall continue to apply. The limitations on
conversion set forth in this subsection are referred to as the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to such
9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived
by such 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(k) 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. 35 Maximum
Exercise of Rights. In the event the Buyer notifies the Company in writing
that the exercise of the rights described herein or in the Warrants, or the
issuance of Payment Shares or other shares of Common Stock issuable to the
Holder under the terms of the Transaction Documents (collectively, Issuable
Shares) would result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the
Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Buyer
calculated in the manner described in this Section 4(j) of this Agreement, then
the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such
Buyer will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Buyer is able
to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount set
forth calculated in the manner described in herein. The determination of when
such Common Stock may be issued shall be made by each Buyer as to only such
Buyer. (l)
Equal Treatment of Buyers. The terms of Securities
issued to Buyers per the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents
shall be identical in all material respects. In addition, neither the Company
nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be
paid any consideration (immediate or contingent), whether by way of interest,
fee, payment for the redemption, conversion of the Debentures or exercise of
the Warrants, or otherwise, to any Buyer or holder of Securities, for or as
an inducement to, or in connection with the solicitation of, any consent, waiver
or amendment. of any terms or provisions of the Transaction Documents, unless
such consideration is required to be paid to all Buyers or holders of Securities
bound by such consent, waiver or amendment. The Company shall not, directly
or indirectly, redeem any Securities unless such offer of redemption is made
pro rata to all Buyers or holders of Securities, as the case may be, on identical
terms. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right
granted by the Company to each Buyer of Securities and negotiated separately
by each Buyer, is intended for the Company to treat the Buyers as a class, and
shall not in any way be construed as the Buyers acting in concert or as a group
with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
(m)
Legal And Due Diligence Fees. The Company shall pay to
BridgePointe Master Fund Ltd. (the Lead Investor) a non-accountable
cash fee of $40,000 ($20,000 of which has been paid and the other $20,000
of which shall be paid at closing)(collectively, the Lead Investors
Fee) as reimbursement for legal services rendered by its attorneys in
connection with this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Debentures and
Warrants and as reimbursement for due diligence expenses. The Lead Investor may
withhold such amount out of the Purchase Price for its Debenture. (n)
Limited Standstill. The Company will deliver to the
Buyers on or before the Closing Date and enforce the provisions of irrevocable
standstill agreements ("Limited Standstill Agreements") in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G with the Insiders and other shareholders that
are identified on Schedule 4(n) hereto (collectively, the Designated
Insiders), subject to the exemption listed on Schedule 4(n) for 500,000
shares of Common Stock held by Sass Peress and 500,000 shares of Common Stock
held by Joel Cohen. (o)
Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and
agrees that from and after the date hereof, neither it nor any other Person
acting on its behalf will knowingly provide 36 any Buyer or its agents or counsel with any information that
constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Buyer
shall have executed a written agreement (a Non-Public Information
Agreement) regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The
Company understands and confirms that each Buyer shall be relying on the
foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. In the event that the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of
its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, provides any
Buyer or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material
non-public information without obtaining a Non-Public Information Agreement from
the Buyer, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction
Documents, the Company shall publicly disclose any material, non-public
information in a Form 8-K within five (5) Business Days of the date that it
discloses such information to the Buyer. In the event that the Company discloses
any material, non-public information to the Buyer without an accompanying
Non-Public Information Agreement and fails to publicly file a Form 8-K in
accordance with the above, a Buyer, upon three (3) Business Days advance written
notice to the Company, shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the
form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material,
nonpublic information without the prior approval by the Company, its
Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees
or agents. No Buyer shall have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries,
or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders
or agents, for any such disclosure. The Company understands and confirms that
each Buyer shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.
(p) Inactive Subsidiaries. For so long as any of the
Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall not transfer any assets to any
Inactive Subsidiary, and will not activate any Inactive Subsidiary without the
advance written permission of the Lead Investor.. (q)
Transactions With Affiliates. Each existing Affiliate
Transaction (as defined below) of the Company and or any Subsidiary is set forth
on Schedule 4(q). So long as any Debenture or Warrant is outstanding, the
Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, enter into,
amend, modify or supplement, or permit any Subsidiary to enter into, amend,
modify or supplement any Affiliate Transaction (as defined below) in each case
in excess of $50,000, other than the existing Affiliate Transactions set forth
on Schedule 4(q) (for any new Affiliate Transaction the value of which exceeds
$50,000 and for any such existing Affiliate Transaction, the value of such
amendment, modification or supplement which exceeds $50,000). For purposes
hereof, Affiliate Transaction shall mean any agreement, transaction,
commitment, or arrangement, including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments

stockholders who beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of the Common Stock,
or Affiliates (as defined below) of any thereof, or with any individual related

another person or entity. (r)
Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with a bona fide margin agreement
or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The
pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of
the Securities hereunder, and no Investor effecting a pledge of Securities shall
be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any
delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, including, without limitation, Section 2(e) hereof; provided that an
Investor and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of
Section 2(e) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of
Securities to such pledgee. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver
such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by an Investor.
5. SECURITY;
SENIOR DEBT. The Debentures are secured by the Security Agreement
and the Patent Security Agreement of the same date. Except as otherwise set
forth on Schedule 5 annexed hereto, the Company hereby represents that
the Holder has a senior lien on the Collateral (as defined in the Security
Agreement), and agrees not to grant any liens on the Collateral, except for
Permitted Liens. From the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Debentures) of
the Debentures through the date that all of the Debentures have been paid in
full or converted in full, will not issue nor permit any Subsidiary to issue any
securities or incur any indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with the
Debentures and, before entering into any future debt with a third party or
permitting any Subsidiary to enter into any future debt with a third party
(unless the issuance of such debt is otherwise prohibited under the terms of the
Transaction Documents), the Company shall first obtain a subordination
agreement, satisfactory to Buyer, from the proposed debt holder. The Company
agrees to take all necessary actions to assist the Holder in perfecting the
Holders lien on each piece of Collateral within fifteen (15) days of the date
hereof, including but not limiting to signing and delivering the appropriate
forms. The
Company hereby represents that, to its knowledge except as otherwise set forth
on Schedule 5 annexed hereto, there are no liens or encumbrances on the
Intellectual Property (as defined in Section 3(j)) or the Collateral. The
Company agrees that from the Original Issue Date of the Debentures through the
date that all of the Debentures have been paid in full or converted in full (the
Covered Period), the Company shall not enter into, create, incur,
assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest
or other encumbrance (collectively, Liens) upon or in the Intellectual
Property or the Collateral owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and
shall not assign or transfer any interest in the 38 Patents owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. In the
event that the Company attempts to place any Lien or Liens on the Intellectual
Property or the Collateral or attempts to assign or transfer any interest in the
Intellectual Property or the Collateral during the Covered Period, the Buyer
shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent such Lien or
transfer. Before entering into any future debt with a third party, the Company
shall first obtain a subordination agreement, satisfactory to Buyer, from the
proposed debt holder.
6.
LEGENDS. (a)
The Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, together with any other shares of
Common Stock that are issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents
shall be referred to herein as the Issued Common Shares. Certificates
evidencing the Issued Common Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the
transfer thereof (including the legend set forth in Section 3(e) of the
Debentures): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration
Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the 1933 Act,
or (ii) following any sale of such Issued Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or
(iii) if such Issued Common Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iv)
if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of
the Commission)(collectively, the Unrestricted Conditions). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Companys transfer agent
promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Companys transfer agent to
effect the issuance of Issued Common Shares without a restrictive legend or
removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the
time of issuance of Issued Common Shares, then such Issued Common Shares shall
be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is
otherwise no longer required under this Section 6(a), it will, no later than
three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the
Companys transfer agent of a certificate representing Issued Common Shares, as
applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the
Legend Removal Date), deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver
at the Companys expense, to such Buyer a certificate representing such shares
that is free from all restrictive and other legends. (b)
In addition to such Buyers other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a
Buyer, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each
$1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date
such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of
the restrictive legend and subject to Section 6(a), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have
begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such
certificate is delivered without a legend (the Legend Removal Failure
Liquidated Damages). Nothing herein shall limit such Buyers right to
pursue actual damages for the Companys failure to deliver certificates
representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such
Buyer 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. 39 (c)
Each Buyer, severally and not jointly with the other Buyers, agrees that the
removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as
set forth in this Section 6 is predicated upon the Companys reliance that each
Buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements
of the 1933 Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or
an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of
distribution set forth therein. 7.
CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The
obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Debentures and
Warrants to a Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before
the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions thereto, provided that
these conditions are for the Company's sole benefit and may be waived by the
Company at any time in its sole discretion: (a)
The Buyer shall have executed each of the Transaction Documents which requires
Buyers signature, and delivered the same to the Company or its designated
escrow agent. (b)

consent of the Company. (i)

Party) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and all its
respective officers, directors, employees, investors, agents, members and
managers (the Indemnified Party) for any loss or damage, including
without limitation, the fees, costs, and disbursements of legal counsel, arising
as a result of or related to any breach by the Company of any of its
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof
or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred with
respect to claims by third parties. Promptly
after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against an Indemnified
Party, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of
the commencement thereof and the basis hereunder upon which a claim for
indemnification is asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In the event of the
commencement of any such action, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate therein and to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying
Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof,
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder
for any legal expenses (including attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements)
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel
so selected, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the defendants in any such action
include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party
reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel
and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of
such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and
other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the
Indemnifying Party as incurred. As
to cases in which the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is providing the
defense for the Indemnified Party, the control of such defense shall be vested
in the Indemnifying Party; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party
shall be required prior to any settlement of such case or action, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. As to any action, the party which is
controlling such action shall provide to the other party reasonable information
(including reasonable advance notice of all proceedings and depositions in
respect thereto) regarding the conduct of the action and the right to attend all
proceedings and depositions in respect thereto through its agents and attorneys,
and the right to discuss the action with counsel for the party controlling such
action. 45 (l)
Publicity. The Company and the Buyer shall have the
right to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any press
releases, filings with the SEC, FINRA or any stock exchange or interdealer
quotation system, or any other public statements with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall be
entitled, without the prior approval of the Buyer, to make any press release or
public filings with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable
law and regulations (although whenever possible the Buyer shall be consulted by
the Company in connection with any such press release prior to its release and
shall be provided with a copy thereof and be given an opportunity to comment
thereon). The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in
any public announcement, the name of the Buyers without the consent of the
Buyers unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable
regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement. (m)
Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or
cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and
documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the
intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. (n)
No Strict Construction. The language used in this
Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against
any party. (o)
Liquidated Damages. The Companys obligations to pay
any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate
until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid
notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such
partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been
canceled. (p)
Remedies. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it
of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Buyer, by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that Buyer
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in
equity, to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure any breaches of
the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Purchase Agreement and
used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. The
words hereof, herein, hereto and hereunder and words of similar import
when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to
any particular provision of this Guarantee, and Section and Schedule references
are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms

Company and any Guarantor. Guarantee means this
Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time. Obligations means, in
addition to all other costs and expenses of collection incurred by Purchasers in
enforcing any of such Obligations and/or this Guarantee, all of the liabilities

owing to, of any Debtor to the Secured Parties, including, without limitation,
all obligations under this Agreement, the Debentures, this Guarantee and any
other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in

foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay
such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Debtor. Transaction
Documents shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Purchase Agreement. 2. Guarantee.
(a)
Guarantee. (i) The
Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantee to each Purchaser and each of their respective successors, indorsees,
transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the
Company when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
of the Obligations. (ii) Anything
herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the
maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such
Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws, including laws relating to
the insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to the right of
contribution established in Section 2(b)). 2 (iii)
Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time
exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing
the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies
of the Purchasers hereunder. (iv)
The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect
until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in
full. (v) No
payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any
other Person or received or collected by the Purchasers from the Company, any of
the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action
or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from
time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment
made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or
collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for
the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until
the Obligations are paid in full. (vi) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any defaulted
non-monetary Obligations the specific performance of which by the Guarantors is
not reasonably possible (e.g. the issuance of the Company's Common Stock), the
Guarantors shall only be liable for making the Purchasers whole on a monetary
basis for the Company's failure to perform such Obligations in accordance with
the Transaction Documents. (b)
Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent
that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any
payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive
contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid
its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(c). The provisions of
this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of
any Guarantor to any Purchaser, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to each
Purchaser for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. (c)
No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any
Purchaser, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights
of any Purchaser against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral
3 security or guarantee or right of
offset held by any Purchaser for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any
Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the
Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Purchasers by the Company on account
of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such
Guarantor in trust for the Purchasers, segregated from other funds of such
Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over
to the Purchasers in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by
such Guarantor to the Purchasers, if required), to be applied against the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Purchasers may
determine. (d) Amendments,
Etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated
hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand
for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Purchasers may be rescinded by
the Purchasers and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the
liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Purchasers, and
the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchasers may
deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset at any time held by the Purchasers for the payment of the
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No
Purchaser shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
Lien at any time held by them as security for the Obligations or for the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto. (e)
Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations
and notice of or proof of reliance by any Purchasers upon the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this
Section 2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to
have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or
waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all
dealings between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Purchasers, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have
been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section
2. Each Guarantor waives to the extent permitted by law diligence, presentment,
protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the
Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. 4 Each Guarantor understands and agrees
that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to
(a) the validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security
therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or
from time to time held by the Purchasers, (b) any defense, set-off or
counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance or fraud or
misconduct by any Purchasers) which may at any time be available to or be
asserted by the Company or any other Person against any Purchasers, or (c) any
other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the
Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Obligations,
or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in
bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, a
Purchasers may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or
otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Company,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or
guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and
any failure by such Purchaser to make any such demand, to pursue such other
rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the
Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any
obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the
Purchasers against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, demand shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. (f) Reinstatement.
The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Purchasers upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, the Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. (g)
Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will
be paid to the Purchasers without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the

failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not,
individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of this Guarantee in any material respect, (y) have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or
financial condition of the Guarantor or (z) adversely impair in any material
respect the Guarantor's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its
obligations under this Guarantee (a Material Adverse Effect).
(b) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Guarantor has the requisite corporate power and authority
to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee,
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery
of this Guarantee by the Guarantor and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action on the part of the Guarantor. This Guarantee has been duly
executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws
relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. (c) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by the
Guarantor and the consummation by the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated
thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or (ii) conflict with, constitute a
default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Guarantor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any
court or governmental authority to which the Guarantor is subject (including
Federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any material
property or asset of the Guarantor is bound or affected, except in the case of
each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such conflicts, defaults, terminations,
amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or 6 result in a Material Adverse Effect.
The business of the Guarantor is not being conducted in violation of any law,
ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, except for violations
which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Consents
and Approvals. The Guarantor is not required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
other federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority or other
person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the
Guarantor of this Guarantee. (e)
Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Company set
forth in the Purchase Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor, each of which
is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct as of each time
such representations are deemed to be made pursuant to such Purchase Agreement,
and the Purchasers shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were
fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation
and warranty as they relate to such Guarantor to the Company's knowledge shall,
for the purposes of this Section 3, be deemed to be a reference to such
Guarantor's knowledge. (f)
Foreign Law. Each Guarantor has consulted with appropriate foreign legal
counsel with respect to any of the above representations for which non-U.S. law
is applicable. Such foreign counsel have advised each applicable Guarantor that
such counsel knows of no reason why any of the above representations would not
be true and accurate. Such foreign counsel were provided with copies of this
Subsidiary Guarantee and the Transaction Documents prior to rendering their
advice. 4. Covenants. (a)
Each Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that, from and after the
date of this Guarantee until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, such
Guarantor shall take, and/or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each
commercially reasonable action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as
the case may be, so that no Event of Default is caused by the failure to take
such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor. (b)
So long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, unless Purchasers holding at
least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures
shall otherwise consent in writing, each Guarantor will not directly or
indirectly on or after the date of this Guarantee: i. except
with respect to Permitted Indebtedness, enter into, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but
not limited to, a guarantee, on or with 7 respect to any of its property or
assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or
profits therefrom; ii. except

exist any liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets
now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom; iii. amend
its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as to
adversely affect any rights of the Holder hereunder; iv. repay,
repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de
minimis number of shares of its securities or debt obligations; v. pay
cash dividends on any equity securities of the Company; vi. enter
into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Guarantor which would be required
to be disclosed in any public filing of the Company with the Commission, unless
such transaction is made on an arms-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); or vii. enter
into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. 5. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments
in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived,
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in writing signed by the
Required Holders (as defined in the Debenture) and the Guarantor. (b) Notices.
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Purchasers or any Guarantor
hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Purchase
Agreement, provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any
Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth
on Schedule 5(b). (c)
No Waiver By Course Of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Purchasers shall
not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5(a)), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default under the 8 Transaction Documents or Event of
Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the
Purchasers, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Purchasers of any right
or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
right or remedy which the Purchasers would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies provided by law. (d)
Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (i)
Each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Purchasers for all their
respective costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving
any rights under this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents to which
such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers. (ii) Each
Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all
liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all
stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be
payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this
Guarantee. (iii) Each
Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect
to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Guarantee to the extent the Company would be required to do so pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. (iv)
The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and
all other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents. (e)
Successor and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of each
Purchaser and each of their respective successors and assigns; provided that no
Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations
under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. 9 (f) Set-Off.
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Purchasers at any time and from
time to time while an Event of Default under any of the Transaction Documents
shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Guarantor or any
other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to
set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits, credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by any Purchasers to
or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such
amounts as such Purchaser may elect, against and on account of the obligations
and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Purchasers hereunder and claims of
every nature and description of such Purchaser against such Guarantor, in any
currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or otherwise, as the Purchaser may elect, whether or not
such Purchaser have made any demand for payment and although such obligations,
liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. A Purchaser shall notify
such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such
Purchaser of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the
Purchasers under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which any Purchaser may
have. (g)
Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Guarantee on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. (h) Severability.
Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. (i) Section
Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into
consideration in the interpretation hereof. (j)
Integration. This Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents represent
the agreement of the Guarantors and the Purchasers with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by the Purchasers relative to subject matter
hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other
Transaction Documents. 10 (k) Governing
Law. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY

mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially
similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address
referred to in the Purchase Agreement or at such other address of which the
Purchasers shall have been notified pursuant thereto; (iv) agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other

_____________________________________ 16 Exhibit 10.3 THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
SECURITIES ACT), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR
EXERCISED UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD
THERETO, OR (ii) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OFFER,
SALE OR TRANSFER. AN INVESTMENT IN THESE SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. HOLDERS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN ANALYSIS OF THE INVESTMENT AND ASSESSMENT
OF THE RISKS INVOLVED. Series A Warrant to Purchase Common Stock THIS
CERTIFIES that BRIDGEPOINTE MASTER FUND LTD., a Cayman Islands Exempted
Company or any subsequent holder hereof (Holder) has the right to
purchase from ICP Solar Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
Company), up to Three Million Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Three
Hundred Thirty-Three (3,333,333) fully paid and nonassessable shares, of the
Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (Common Stock),
subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price
as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined
below). Holder
agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the
Company (this Warrant or this Agreement) is issued and all
rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and
provisions set forth herein. 1. Date
of Issuance and Term. This
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on June 13, 2008 (Date of
Issuance). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is six (6) years after
the Date of Issuance (the Term). This Warrant was issued in conjunction
with the issuance of Debentures of the Company (the Debentures) to the
Holder pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
(Securities Purchase Agreement), and the Registration Rights Agreement
(Registration Rights Agreement) by and between the Company and Holder
dated on or about June 13, 2008. 1 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the applicable portion of this Warrant shall
not be exercisable during any time that, and only to the extent that, the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder upon such Exercise (as defined
in Section 2(a)), when added to the number of shares of Common Stock, if any,
that the Holder otherwise beneficially owns (outside of this Warrant, and not
including any other warrants or securities of Holders having a provision
substantially similar to this paragraph) at the time of such Exercise, would
exceed 4.99% (the Maximum Percentage) of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder, as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The Beneficial Ownership
Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the applicable Notice of Exercise
includes a signed representation by the Holder that the issuance of the shares
in such Notice of Exercise will not violate the Limitation, and the Company
shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such satisfaction.
Notwithstanding
the above, in the event that the Company receives any purchase, tender or
exchange offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby
the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an Offer), then the
Maximum Percentage shall be increased (but not decreased) to 9.99%, and 4.99%
shall be automatically revised immediately after such offer to read 9.99% each
place it occurs in this Section 1. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 1 may be waived by such Holder, at the election of
such Holder, upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company, to change
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any amount not in excess of 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of this Warrant held by
the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall continue to apply. Upon
such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99%
limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not
be further waived by such Holder, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs,
thereafter the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1 may
be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61
days prior notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other
percentage (and not limited to 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder and the provisions
of this Section 1 shall continue to apply. The limitations on Exercise set forth
in this subsection are referred to as the Beneficial Ownership Limitations.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a
manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1 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. Notwithstanding
the above, Holder shall retain the option to either Exercise or not Exercise its
option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer,
and, in the event of a cash Exercise following a tender offer, the Exercise
Price per share that would otherwise be due shall instead be offset against the
tender price per share to be received by the Holder, provided, however, that in
the event a tender offer is not 2 completed, Holder, at its option may either (i) complete any
Exercise that was initiated after the Offer by promptly paying to the Company
the Exercise Price that would have been due at the time the Warrant was
Exercised, or (ii) cancel such Exercise by providing written notice to the
Company, in which case such Exercise shall be deemed void ad initio. Maximum
Exercise of Rights. In the event the Holder notifies the Company that the
Exercise of the rights described herein would result in the issuance of an
amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that
may be issued to a Holder calculated in the manner described above, then the
issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Holder
will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Holder is able to
beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount
calculated in the manner described herein. The determination of when such Common
Stock may be issued shall be made by each Holder as to only such Holder. 2. Exercise.
(a) Manner
of Exercise. During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or
any lesser number of full shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the Warrant
Shares or the Shares) upon surrender of this Warrant,
with the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Notice
of Exercise) duly completed and executed, together with the full Exercise
Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by either a Cash Exercise or
a Cashless Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Stock
as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Attn: Sass
Peress, President, CEO & Chairman; ICP Solar Technologies, Inc., 7075 Place
Robert-Joncas, Unit 131, Montreal H4M272, Phone: 514-270-5770, Fax: (514) 270-3677
or at such other location as the Company may then be located or such other office
or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, by facsimile
(such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called the Exercise
of this Warrant). In the case of a Cashless Exercise, the Exercise Price is
deemed to have been delivered upon the Holders deliver of a Notice of
Exercise to the Company. (b) Date
of Exercise. The Date of Exercise of the Warrant shall be defined
as the date that a copy of the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to the Company or its
transfer agent (Transfer Agent) (including but not limited to a scanned
PDF file which is delivered as an attachment to an e-mail to the Company),
provided that the original Warrant (if delivery of the original Warrant is
required pursuant to Section 2(l) hereof) and Notice of Exercise Form are
received by the Company and the Exercise Price is satisfied, each as soon as
practicable thereafter. Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as
the date the original Notice of Exercise Form is received by the Company, if
Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile. Upon delivery of the Notice of
Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile or otherwise, the Holder shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC
account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant
Shares as the case may be. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice
of Exercise within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event of any
dispute or 3 discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. (c) Delivery
of Common Stock Upon Exercise. Within 3 Trading Days from the delivery
to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant (if required)
and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (which, in the case of a Cashless
Exercise, shall be deemed to have been paid upon the submission by the Holder
of a Notice of Exercise)(the Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline),
the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent so to issue
and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of the
Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (Exercise Shares)
for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in accordance
herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part thereof, the Company
shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining
and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's transfer
agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee)
or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be
specified at Exercise representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these
instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's
Common Stock and that, unless waived by the Holder, the Exercise Shares will
be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting
the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares if the Unrestricted Conditions
(as defined below) are met. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to
the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of
Exercise by the Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline (a Warrant Shares
Delivery Failure), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject
to such exercise (based on the VWAP (as defined below) of the Common Stock on
the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing
to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages
begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline
until such certificates are delivered (Warrant Shares Delivery Failure
Payments). (d) Payment
of Accrued Warrant Shares Delivery Failure Payments. The Company shall pay
any payments incurred under this Section in cash or cash equivalent upon demand
or, if not demanded sooner, on or before the fifth (5th) day of each month
following a month in which they accrue. Warrant Shares Delivery Failure Payments
are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon
Exercise of this Warrant. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Warrant Shares Delivery
Failure Payments) for the Company's Warrant Shares Delivery Failure, and the
Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). (e)
Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred
to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or
require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or
dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum
permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited
against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the
Company. 4 (f) Revocation
of Exercise Upon Delivery Failure. In addition to any other remedies
which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for
any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the Warrant Shares
Delivery Deadline, the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the
relevant Notice of Exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the
Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their
respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except
that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date
notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company. (g) Legends. (i) Restrictive
Legend. The Holder understands that the Warrant and, until such time as
Exercise Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or
Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act without any restriction as to the number of
securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the
Exercise Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following
form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the
certificates for such securities): THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID
ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. (ii) Removal
of Restrictive Legends. Certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares shall
not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend
set forth above in subsection 2(g)(i)): (i) while a registration statement
(including the Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the
Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Exercise Shares pursuant to
Rule 144, or (iii) if such Exercise Shares are eligible for sale under Rule
144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by the staff of the Commission) (collectively, the Unrestricted
Conditions). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion
to the Companys transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date (as defined
below) of the Registration Statement if required by the Companys transfer agent
to effect the issuance of Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend or
removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the
time of issuance or resale of Exercise Shares, then such Exercise Shares shall
be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is
otherwise no longer required under 5 this Section 2(g), it will, no later than three (3) Trading
Days following the delivery (the Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline)
by the Holder to the Company or the Companys transfer agent of a certificate
representing Exercise Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend
(such third Trading Day, the Legend Removal Date), deliver, or cause
the Transfer Agent to deliver at the Companys expense, to such Holder a
certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from
all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, Effective Date
shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required
to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission). (iii) Sale
of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive
legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section
2(g)(i) above is predicated upon the Companys reliance that the Holder will
sell any Exercise Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an
exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set
forth therein. (h) Cancellation
of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this
Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be
entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares purchased upon such
Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this
Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to
such Common Stock. (i) Holder
of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of Common Stock
is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such
shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of
delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant.
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights
as a stockholder of the Company. (j)
Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the unlegended shares of Common Stock issuable upon
Exercise (the Unlegended Shares), provided the Companys transfer agent
is participating in the Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated
Securities Transfer (FAST) program, upon written request of the Holder,
so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend, are not required to
bear a legend, and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for
the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC identified in the written request
through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system.
Otherwise, delivery of the Common Stock shall be by physical delivery to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. The time periods for
delivery and liquidated damages described herein shall apply to the electronic
transmittals described herein, or to physical delivery, whichever is
applicable. 6 (k) Buy-In.
In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the
Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline, and if after such date the Holder is required
by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the
Holders brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a Buy-In), then the Company
shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holders total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder
in connection with the Exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell
order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the
option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored or deliver to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had
the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder. 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
Exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) 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, together with applicable confirmations
and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holders 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 Companys failure to
timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of
the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. (l) Surrender
of Warrant Upon Exercise; Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, upon Exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the
terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the
original Warrant Certificate to the Company unless all of this Warrant is
Exercised, in which case such Holder shall deliver the original Warrant being
Exercised to the Company promptly following the Date of Exercise at issue.
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the
total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of
lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder
and the Company shall maintain records showing the amount of this Warrant that
is so Exercised and the dates of such Exercises or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require
physical surrender of this original Warrant upon each such Exercise. In the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Holder shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and
any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for
purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the
face hereof. 7 3. Payment
of Warrant Exercise Price. The
Exercise Price (Exercise Price) shall initially equal $0.50
per share (the Initial Exercise Price), subject to adjustment
pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below. Payment
of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination
thereof, at the election of Holder: (i)
Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in
cash, bank or cashiers check or wire transfer (a Cash Exercise); or
(ii)
Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this
Warrant in one or more cashless exercise transactions anytime that there is not
a current and effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) then in effect covering the resale of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder
shall surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall
issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula (a Cashless Exercise): X = Y (A-B)/A where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued to Holder. Y = the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised. A = the Market Price of one (1) share
of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(ii), where Market
Price, as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined
herein) of the Companys Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive trading
day period immediately preceding the date of Exercise, or other applicable date.
B =
the Exercise Price. As
used herein, the Volume Weighted Average Price or VWAP for any
security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price on the Over
the Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (the OTC-BB) as reported by, or
based upon data reported by, Bloomberg L.P. or an equivalent, reliable reporting
service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority
in interest of the Warrants and the Company (Bloomberg) or, if the
OTC-BB is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume
weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities
exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported
by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such
security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by
Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is 8 reported for such security by
Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security
that are listed in the pink sheets by the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security
on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price
shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the
holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the
calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to
determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. Trading Day shall mean
any day on which the Common Sock is traded for any period on the OTC-BB, or on
the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common
Stock is then being traded. For
purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this
Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired
at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
commenced on the date this Warrant was issued. 4. Transfer
and Registration. (a) Transfer
Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this
Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in
person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and
endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as
practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be
entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant
transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the
portion hereof retained. (b) Registrable
Securities. The Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant has
registration rights pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreements
between the Company and the Holder dated even herewith. 5. Anti-Dilution
Adjustments; Additional Adjustments; Purchase Rights. (a)
[Omitted]. (b)
Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time
effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective
date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be
entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease
in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization,
reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the
case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in
the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The
Company shall give Holder the same 9 notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any
transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Exercise Price Adjusted.
As used in this Warrant, the term Exercise Price shall mean the
purchase price per share specified in Section 3 of this Warrant, until the
occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this
Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment under this
Section 5 shall be made unless such adjustment would change the Exercise Price
at the time by $.01 or more; provided, however, that all adjustments not so made
shall be deferred and made when the aggregate thereof would change the Exercise
Price at the time by $.01 or more. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision
of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in
relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common
Stock. (d) Adjustments:
Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as
a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder
shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or
other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate,
all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and
include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number
of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable
to the provisions of this Section 5. (e) Adjustment
Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. If the
Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 5(e) is deemed to
have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale
of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company,
but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued by the Company
in connection with an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) for a consideration per share (the "New Issuance Price") less
than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the
foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such Dilutive
Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal
to the New Issuance Price. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price
hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with
Section 5(k) below. The adjustments required by this paragraph and by Sections
5(e)(i)-(iv) below are referred to in the singular, as a Subsequent Issuance
Adjustment, and collectively as Subsequent Issuance Adjustments.
For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 5(e),
the following shall be applicable: (i) Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of
any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable
Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to
have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of
such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 5(e)(i), the
"lowest price per 10 share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. (ii)
Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells
any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed
to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.
For the purposes of this Section 5(e)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which
one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange"
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any)
received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock
upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. In the case of a Convertible
Security which is accompanied Options (collectively, a Unit), the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security shall equal (i)
the consideration deemed received in exchange for the Convertible Security, as
determined in accordance with subsection 5(e)(iv) below, divided by (ii) the
total number of shares into which such Convertible Security is convertible or
exchangeable (without regard to any contractual limitation on the timing or
amount of conversions). (iii) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any
Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such
increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price,
additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case
may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this
Section 5(e)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Note are increased or decreased
in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option
or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as
of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section
5(e)(iii) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the
Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
(iv) Calculation
of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the
issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for 11 their Black Scholes value, and the other securities issued or
sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have been issued or sold
for the balance of the consideration received by the Company. If any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be
deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the
Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the Weighted Average Price of such security on
the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may
be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be
determined jointly by the Company and the Required Warrant Holders. If such
parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence
of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value
of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the
tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser
jointly selected by the Company and the Required Warrant Holders. The
determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties
absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne
by the Company. (v)
Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii)
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue
or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon
the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or
the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case
may be. For
purposes hereof: Common
Stock Equivalents, Exempt Issuance and Variable Equity
Securities shall each have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities
Purchase Agreement. Convertible
Securities means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or
indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.
Options
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock
or Convertible Securities. (f)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at anytime prior to the date
that all of the Warrants have been Exercised, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in
accordance with their terms, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all
holders of Common Stock 12 (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share (the Base Rights
Offering Price) that is lower than the Exercise Price then in effect, then
the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced (but not increased) to the
Base Rights Offering Price (a Subsequent Rights Offering Adjustment).
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. No
adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Exercise Price then in effect. (g) Milestone
Adjustments. If the Company shall have failed (each a Milestone
Failure) to meet or exceed any of the milestone goals (Milestone
Goals) that are set forth on Schedule 5(g) annexed hereto for any
one or more of the following periods (each a Milestone Period): (i) the
six (6) month period ending October 31, 2008 or (ii) the twelve (12) month
period ending April 30, 2009 (each a Milestone Date), as reported in
the Companys Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) for such fiscal
period, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced (but not increased) (each, a
Milestone Adjustment) to equal the lesser of (a) the Exercise Price
then in effect, (b) the Market Price as determined on the applicable Milestone
Date, or (c) the Market Price as determined on the date (each, a Milestone
Adjustment Date) that is five (5) Trading Days after the date that Company
files its next Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) with the Commission
following the end of the applicable Milestone Period (the Milestone
Adjustment Price). Each
such adjustment shall be effective as of the first day following each Milestone
Date (by way of example, if the Milestone Goal is not met for the Milestone
Period ending October 31, 2008, the reduction is effective immediately on
November 1, 2008). As to any Exercises by the Holder that occurred following the
end of a Milestone Period but prior to the date the Companys periodic report
was filed (Interim Period), the Company shall retroactively send the
Holder additional Warrant Shares (Interim Warrant Shares) within 3
Trading Days of the date of the applicable filing if an adjustment is required
hereunder (provided that to the extent any such shares would cause the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation to be exceeded, such excess shares shall not be
issued and delivered until such time as such shares may be so issued without
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The number of additional Warrant
Shares issued shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares receivable from
such Exercises based on the adjusted Exercise Price less any Warrant Shares
previously received on account of such Exercises. Any subsequent restatements of
the Companys financials shall require similar retroactive issuances if the
aforementioned events are subsequently deemed to have occurred. The Company
shall provide written notice to the Holder no later than 1 Business Day
following the Companys filing of the applicable periodic report with the
Commission, indicating therein the new Exercise Price, the increased number of
shares represented by the Warrant, and the revenue and EBITDA for the applicable
Milestone Period. In the event that there is an adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to any other provision under this Warrant during the Interim Period,
the Exercise Price shall be the lower of (i) the Exercise Price as adjusted
pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant and (ii) the new Exercise Price
as determined hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i)
the provision shall only have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price and (ii)
each 13 adjustment shall be permanent notwithstanding future Revenue or
the achievement of any other milestones and cumulative with any other
adjustments hereunder. (h)
Adjustments to Exercise Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Debenture to the contrary, in the event the Company
makes any public announcement (the date of such announcement is hereinafter
referred to as the Announcement Date) anytime during the period beginning five
(5) Business Days before any Milestone Adjustment Date and ending five (5)
Business Days after such Milestone Adjustment Date (the Protected Period),
then the Milestone Adjustment Price for such Milestone Adjustment shall equal
the lesser of (X) the Milestone Adjustment Price as determined pursuant to
Section 5(h) above, (Y) the Market Price as determined on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Announcement Date and (Z) the Market Price as
determined on the date that is ten (10) Trading Days after the Announcement
Date. (i) Subdivision
or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by
any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder
into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting
such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares represented
by this Warrant shall proportionally increase. If the Company at any time
combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder
into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting
such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
represented by this Warrant shall proportionally decrease. (j) Voluntary
Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this
Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period
of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company (a
Voluntary Adjustment). (k)
Adjustment to Number of Shares. In the event of any adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, including but not limited
to any Subsequent Issuance Adjustment any Subsequent Rights Offering Adjustment,
or any Voluntary Adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price
payable in a full Cash Exercise hereunder, after taking into account the
decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
payable in a full Cash Exercise prior to such adjustment, and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable in a Cashless Exercise shall be increased
accordingly. (l) Notice
of Adjustments; Notice Failure Adjustment. The Company shall notify the
Holder in writing, no later than one (1) Business Day following any Dilutive
Issuance, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset
price, exchange price, conversion price, exercise price and other pricing terms
(such notice, the Dilutive Issuance Notice). In the event that the
Company fails to provide the Holder 14 with an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice within five (5)
Business Days of any Dilutive Issuance (the Dilutive Issuance Notice
Deadline), the Exercise Price shall be permanently reduced (but not
increased) on the Dilutive Issuance Notice Deadline, and on the same day of each
calendar month thereafter until such notice is given (each, a Notice Failure
Adjustment Date), or in each case if not a business day, then on the next
business day (each, a Notice Failure Adjustment) to a price equal to
the lesser of (a) the Exercise Price then in effect or (b) 100% of the VWAP for
five (5) trading day period immediately preceding the applicable Notice Failure
Adjustment Date (collectively, the Notice Failure Adjustment Price).
Whenever
the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant, the Company shall within Five (5) Business Days mail to the Holder a
notice (a Exercise Price Adjustment Notice) setting forth the new
Exercise Price and specifying the new number of shares into which the Warrant is
convertible after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any
time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such
adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and
(iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the
Warrant, following delivery of the original Warrant to the Company for exchange.
If the Company issues Variable Equity Securities (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement), despite the prohibition thereon in the Securities 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. For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Corporation provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice
pursuant to this Section 5(l), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an
adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holders are entitled to receive an
Exercise Price and a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise
Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such
adjustment, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the adjusted
Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise. (m) Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. 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 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
mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register 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, 15 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 exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of
such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. (n) Purchase
Rights. In addition to any other adjustments described herein, if at any
time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or
rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the
record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the Purchase
Rights), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms
applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the
Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the proportionate number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. 6. Fractional
Interests. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon
the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may
purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this
Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a
right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall
be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
shall be the next closest number of whole shares. 7. Reservation
of Shares. From
and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance
such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other
securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) equal to 125% (the
Minimum Warrant Share Reservation Amount) of such number as shall be
sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in
full without regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation. If at any time the
number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below
125% of the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a
Share Authorization Failure)(based on the Exercise Price in effect from
time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to
authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without
limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional
shares to meet the Company's obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an
insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain
stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized 16 number of shares such that the number of shares authorized and
reserved for the Exercise of this Warrant shall exceed the Minimum Warrant Share
Reservation Amount. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of
this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise shall be
duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to liens,
claims, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any
person or entity. 8.
Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Registration
or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt
from the registration requirements of the Act by virtue of Regulation D and
exempt from state registration under applicable state laws. The Warrant and the
Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may not be transferred,
sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption to the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state laws.
(b) Assignment.
If Holder can provide the Company with reasonably satisfactory evidence that
the conditions of (a) above regarding registration or exemption have been
satisfied, Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of
this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to
Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as
Exhibit B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall be
assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee.
The Company shall effect the assignment within ten (10) days of receipt of such
notice, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares. 9. Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment
of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and
will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and
take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the
par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant. 10. Rights
Upon Major Transaction or Change of Entity Transaction. (a) Definitions.
For purposes hereof, Change
of Entity Transaction means (i) a consolidation, merger, exchange of
shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar
event, (A) following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding
such consolidation, merger, combination or event either (1) no longer hold a
majority of the shares of Common Stock of the 17 Company or (2) no longer have the
ability to elect the board of directors of the Company or (B) as a result of
which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into (or the shares of Common
Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of
the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or
another entity. Sufficient
Trading Characteristics shall mean that the average daily dollar trading
volume of the common stock of such entity on its primary exchange or market is
equal to or in excess of $100,000 for the 90th through the 31st day prior to the
public announcement of such transaction. Permissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
where the Successor Entity (as defined below) (A) is a publicly traded Company
whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, (B)
has Sufficient Trading Characteristics (as defined above) and (C) meets the
Assumption Requirements (as required in Section 10(b) below). Eligible
Market means the over the counter Bulletin Board (OTC-BB),
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global
Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the American Stock Exchange. Impermissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
which does not qualify as a Permissible Change of Entity Transaction.
Major Transaction means (i) an
Impermissible Change of Entity Transaction; and (ii)
the sale or transfer of more than 40%, in the aggregate, of the properties or
assets of the Company to another Person or Persons in one or a series of related
transactions in any rolling 12 month period (an Asset Sale); and (iii)
a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the holders of more
than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (b) Assumption
Upon Change of Entity Transaction. The Company shall not, so long as any
portion of this Warrant remains outstanding, enter into or be party to a Change
of Entity Transaction unless any Person purchasing the Companys assets or
Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Change of Entity
Transaction (in each case, an Successor Entity), assumes (an
Assumption) in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10(b) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Warrant
Holders (as defined below) and approved by the Required Warrant 18 Holders prior to such Change of Entity Transaction, including
agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants
a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation,
having an exercise price equal to the Exercise Price of this Warrant, having
similar exercise rights as this Warrant (including but not limited to similar
exercise price adjustment provisions), and reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Warrant Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Change of Entity Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and
after the date of such Change of Entity Transaction, the provisions of this
Warrant referring to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor
Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume
all of the obligations of the Company under the Warrant with the same effect
as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation
of a Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the
Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise or redemption of
the Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Change of Entity Transaction,
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or
other property) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Change
of Entity Transaction, such shares of common stock (or their equivalent) of
the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this
Warrant. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to
successive Change of Entity Transactions and shall be applied without regard
to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrant. The requirements of this
Section 10(b) are referred to herein as the Assumption Requirements.
For
purposes hereof, Required Warrant Holders shall mean the Holders of
greater than seventy five percent (75%) of the then outstanding Warrants
(determined by the number of unexercised underlying shares). (c) Notice
of Major Transaction; Redemption Right Upon Major
Transaction. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation
of a Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such
transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof to the Holder (a
Major Transaction Notice), which notice shall specify the nature and
terms of the proposed transaction and nature of the Successor Entity (if
any). (d) Redemption
Right Upon Major Transaction. At any time during the period beginning after
the Holder's receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, the Holder may
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Holders Warrant by
delivering written notice thereof (Major Transaction Redemption Notice)
to the Company, which Major Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the
number of Warrant Shares of its Warrant (the Redemption Warrant Amount)
that the Holder is electing to be redeemed. The
portion of this Warrant subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10(d)
shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 100% of the greater
of (i) the Black Scholes value (as defined below) of the remaining outstanding
portion of the Warrant to be redeemed on the date the Major Transaction is
consummated calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model and (ii) the
Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant to be
redeemed on the Trading Day 19 immediately preceding the date that the Major Transaction
Redemption Price (as defined below) is paid to the Holder (the greater of which
is referred to as the Major Transaction Redemption Price). For purposes
hereof, the Black-Scholes value of a Warrant shall be determined by use
of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (A) a risk-free interest
rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining
term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (B) an expected volatility
equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT
function on Bloomberg. (e) Escrow;
Payment of Major Transaction Redemption Price. The Company shall not effect
a Major Transaction unless it shall first place, or shall cause the Successor
Entity to place, into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, prior
to or concurrently with the closing date of the Major Transaction (the Major
Transaction Escrow Deadline), an amount equal to the Major Transaction
Redemption Price. Concurrently upon closing of any Major Transaction, the
Company shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the Major
Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder, which payment shall constitute a
Redemption Upon Major Transaction of the Warrants. (f) Injunction.
In the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction
without placing the Major Transaction Redemption Price in escrow in accordance
with subsection (e) above or without payment of the Major Transaction Redemption
Price to the Holder upon consummation of such Major Transaction, the Buyer shall
have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such
Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid to the
Holder, in full. (g) Mechanics
of Redemptions Upon Major Transactions. Redemptions
required by this Section 10 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, until
the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full, the portion of the
Warrant submitted for redemption under this Section may be converted, in whole
or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the
Exercise Date is after the consummation of a Major Transaction, into shares of
common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section
10(b). Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice of
Exercise, any amount of this Warrant exercised during the period from the date
of the Major Transaction Redemption Notice until the date the Major Transaction
Redemption Price is paid in full shall be considered to be an exercise (instead
of a Redemption) of a portion of the Warrant that would have been subject to
such Redemption, and any amounts of this Warrant exercised from time to time
during such period shall exercised in full into Common Stock at the Exercise
Price then in effect, and the number of shares of this Warrant so exercised into
Common Stock shall be deducted from the number of Warrants that are subject to
redemption hereunder. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the
Company's redemption of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 10(d), the
Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the
parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the
availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.
Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 10 is intended by the
parties to be, and 20 shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual
loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. 11. Default
and Redemption. (a)
Events of Default. Each of the following events which occur while any
Warrants are outstanding shall be considered to be an Event of
Default: (i) Failure
To File and Pursue Registration. An Event of Default occurs under
Section 10(c) of the Debentures, with respect to any Warrant Shares (a Registration Default); (ii)
Failure To Authorize and Reserve Common Stock. A Share Authorization
Failure occurs under Section 7 hereof, and such Share Authorization Failure
remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days. (a Share
Reservation Default); (iii)
Failure To Deliver Common Stock. A Warrant Shares Delivery Failure (as
defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20)
days. (iv) Legend
Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure occurs and remains uncured for a
period of twenty (20) days, where a Legend Removal Failure shall be
deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to issue Exercise Shares without a
restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(g)(ii) hereof or under
Section 6 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. (v) Corporate
Existence; Major Transaction. The Company has effected a Major Transaction
without paying the Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder pursuant
to Section 10(d) or, if the Holder did not elect a Redemption Upon Major Transaction,
the Company has failed to meet the Assumption Requirements of Section 10(b)
prior to effecting a Major Transaction. (vi) Failure
to Adjust Exercise Price; Failure to Comply With Dispute Resolution
Procedures. The Company shall have failed to comply in good faith
with the Dispute Resolution Procedures (as defined herein) or shall have failed
to adjust the Exercise Price as required under Section 5(e) following a Dilutive
Issuance, or otherwise (after any applicable Dispute Resolution Procedure
required herein), and such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days after
the Holder provides written notice to the Company that such performance by the
Company is past due. (b) Mandatory
Redemption; Certain Adjustments on Default. (i)
Mandatory Redemption Amount. If any Events of Default shall occur
and any such Event of Default continues for an additional ten (10) Business Days 21 after the Holder provides written notice to the Company that an
Event of Default has occurred and specifying the factual basis therefor, then
thereafter, unless waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option
exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder
(the Default Notice), the outstanding amount of this Warrant shall be
immediately redeemed by the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder (a
Mandatory Redemption) an amount (the Mandatory Redemption
Amount or the Default Amount) equal to 100% of the greater of (i)
the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on
the date of such Default Notice and (2) the Black-Scholes value of the remaining
unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date that the Mandatory Redemption Amount is paid to the Holder. The
Mandatory Redemption Amount shall be payable, in cash or cash equivalent, within
five (5) business days of the Date of the applicable Default Notice (the
Default Amount Due Date). If the Company fails to pay the Mandatory
Redemption Amount within thirty (30) days of the Default Amount Due Date, then
(A) the Exercise Price shall be permanently decreased (but not increased) on the
first Trading Day of each calendar month thereafter (each a Default
Adjustment Date) until the Default Amount is paid in full, to a price equal
to the lesser of (i) the Exercise Price then in effect, or (ii) the lowest
Market Price that has occurred on any Default Adjustment Date since the date
that the Event of Default began. Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Failure Payments and any other Required Cash Payments (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement) shall continue to accrue. On the date that is
five (5) Business Days after the Companys receipt of the Holders Default
Notice, the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder,
shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or
notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs,
including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the
Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at
law or in equity, and (B) . If
the Company fails to pay the Default Amount within the (10)Business Days of
written notice that such amount is due and payable (the Default Amount Due
Date), then interest shall accrue thereon at a rate of eighteen percent
(18%) per annum, compounded monthly (or the maximum amount allowed by applicable
law, whichever is less), and the Holder shall have the right at any time, so
long as the Company remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there
are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Company, upon written notice
(Default Exercise Notice) (which may be given one or more times, from
time to time anytime after the Default Amount Due Date), to immediately issue (a
Default Exercise), in lieu of all or any specified portion (the
Specified Portion) of the unpaid portion (the Unpaid Portion)
of the Default Amount, a number (the Default Share Amount) of shares
(the Default Shares) of Common Stock, subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, equal to the Specified Portion of the Default Amount
divided by the Exercise Price in effect on the date such shares are
issued to the Holder, PROVIDED THAT, the Holder may require that such payment of
shares be made in one or more installments at such time and in such amounts as
Holder chooses. The Default shares are due within five (5) Business Days of the
date that 22 the Holder delivers a Default Exercise Notice to the Company
(the Default Share Delivery Deadline). Upon a
Default Exercise, the Company shall be required to deliver a number of Common
Shares to the Holder equal to the applicable Default Share Amount (as described
above). If
the Company is unable to redeem all of the Warrants submitted for redemption,
the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number
of Warrants submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number
of Warrants submitted for redemption by all Holders. The
Holder shall not be entitled to receive Default Shares on a given date if and to
the extent that such issuance would cause the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
then in effect to be exceeded. If and to the extent that the issuance of Default
Shares with respect to a given Specified Portion would result in the a violation
of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then that particular Specified Portion
shall be automatically reduced to a value that would cause the number of Default
Shares to be issued to equal the Maximum Percentage, and the amount of such
reduction shall be added back to the Unpaid Portion of the Default Amount.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the sums payable as liquidated damages or pursuant to a Mandatory Redemption
shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further
acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the
Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts
specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly
disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Investor, and
(iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented
by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this
Agreement at arms length. The
Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall
immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice,
all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including,
without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall
be entitled to Exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity. (c) Redemption
by Other Holders. Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any of the
holders for redemption or repayment of other Warrants that were issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Other Warrants) as a result
of an event or occurrence of an Event of Default or a Major Transaction (each,
an Other Redemption Notice), the Company shall immediately, but no
later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by
facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and
one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period
beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to
the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and ending on and
including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt
of the Holder's Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all 23 amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other
Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the
Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Warrants
(including the Holder) based on the number of Warrants submitted for redemption
pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by
the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period. (d) Posting
of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder or any
Event of Default occurs under any of the Transaction Documents, the Company may
not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or
justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or any one
associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of
law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a Surety Bond) for
the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond
Value (as defined below) of all of the Holders Debentures and Warrants (the
Bond Amount), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be
payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment. For
purposes hereof, a Lawsuit shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other
dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of the
Transaction Documents. Surety
Bond Value, for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes
value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect) and Surety
Bond Value for the Debentures shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the
Debenture. (e)
Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default
referred to in subsection (d) above pertains to the Companys failure to deliver
unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise,
legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended
share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or
affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an
injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining
Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by
the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such
Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount (as described above), which Surety Bond
shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the
proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains
judgment. (f) Remedies,
Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in
this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available
under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and
nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for
any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder could cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant could seek, in addition
to all other available remedies, an injunction restraining any breach. 24 12.
Holders Redemptions. (a) Mechanics
of Holders Redemptions. In the event that the Holder has sent a Major
Transaction Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 10(d) or a
Default Notice pursuant to Section 11(b)(i), respectively (each, a
Redemption Notice), the Holder shall promptly submit this Warrant to
the Company (if delivery of the original Warrant is required pursuant to Section
2(l). In the event of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding portion
of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to
the Holder a new Warrant representing the outstanding number of underlying
Warrant Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does
not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period
required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid
Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of
redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any
portion of this Warrant that was submitted for redemption and for which the
applicable Major Transaction Redemption Price (together with any late charges
thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company's receipt of such notice, (x) the
applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such
Redemption Share Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant,
or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant
that was submitted for redemption. The Holder's delivery of a notice voiding a
Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not
affect the Company's obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which
have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant
subject to such notice. (b)
Warrants Detachable. The Warrants constitute a separate, detachable
security from the Debentures. In the event of any redemption of the Debentures,
in whole or in part, by the Company, the Holder shall retain its outstanding
Warrants. 13. Remedies,
Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in
this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available
under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and
nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder right to pursue actual
damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder could
cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such
breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any
such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant could seek, in
addition to all other available remedies, an injunction restraining any breach.
14. Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise
Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue to the
Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such
dispute in accordance with this subsection. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the
Companys Common Stock or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price,
Market Price or any Redemption Price, or the determination of whether or not a
Dilutive Issuance or a Milestone Failure has occurred, 25 the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or
arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt,
or deemed receipt, of the Notice of Exercise or Redemption Notice or other event
giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder
and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation
within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two
(2) Business Days submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the
closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Companys Common Stock
to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and
approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii)
the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any
Redemption Price to the Companys independent, outside accountant or (iii) the
disputed facts regarding the occurrence of a Dilutive Issuance or Milestone
Failure (or any other matter referred to above that is not expressly designated
to the independent investment bank or the independent outside accountant
pursuant to (i) or (ii) immediately above) to an expert attorney from a
nationally recognized outside law firm (having at least 50 attorneys and having
with no prior relationship with the Company) selected by the Company and
approved by the Holder. The Company, at the Companys expense, shall cause the
investment bank or the accountant, law firm, or other expert, as the case may
be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the
Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it
receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment banks or
accountants determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding
upon all parties absent demonstrable error (collectively, the Dispute
Resolution Procedures). 15. Benefits
of this Warrant. Nothing
in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the
Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and Holder. 16.
Governing Law. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement 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 conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York, borough of Manhattan 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 any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives 26 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 Agreement
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 law. The
parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall
commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement,
then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by
the other party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding. 17.
Loss of Warrant. Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. 18.
Notice or Demands. Notices
or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or made by Holder to or on the
Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, until another
address is designated in writing by the Company, to the address set forth in
Section 2(a) above. Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or

CERTIFIES that BRIDGEPOINTE MASTER FUND LTD., a Cayman Islands Exempted
Company or any subsequent holder hereof (Holder) has the right to
purchase from ICP Solar Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
Company), up to Three Million Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Three
Hundred Thirty-Three (3,333,333) fully paid and nonassessable shares, of the
Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (Common Stock),
subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price
as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined
below). Holder
agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the
Company (this Warrant or this Agreement) is issued and all
rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and
provisions set forth herein.
1. Date of Issuance and Term. This
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on June 13, 2008 (Date of
Issuance). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is six (6) years after
the Date of Issuance (the Term). This Warrant was issued in conjunction
with the issuance of Debentures of the Company (the Debentures) to the
Holder pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
(Securities Purchase Agreement), and the Registration Rights Agreement
(Registration Rights Agreement) by and between the Company and Holder
dated on or about June 13, 2008. 1 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the applicable portion of this Warrant shall
not be exercisable during any time that, and only to the extent that, the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder upon such Exercise (as defined
in Section 2(a)), when added to the number of shares of Common Stock, if any,
that the Holder otherwise beneficially owns (outside of this Warrant, and not
including any other warrants or securities of Holders having a provision
substantially similar to this paragraph) at the time of such Exercise, would
exceed 4.99% (the Maximum Percentage) of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder, as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The Beneficial Ownership
Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the applicable Notice of Exercise
includes a signed representation by the Holder that the issuance of the shares
in such Notice of Exercise will not violate the Limitation, and the Company
shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such satisfaction.
Notwithstanding
the above, in the event that the Company receives any purchase, tender or
exchange offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby
the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an Offer), then the
Maximum Percentage shall be increased (but not decreased) to 9.99%, and 4.99%
shall be automatically revised immediately after such offer to read 9.99% each
place it occurs in this Section 1. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 1 may be waived by such Holder, at the election of
such Holder, upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company, to change
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any amount not in excess of 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of this Warrant held by
the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall continue to apply. Upon
such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99%
limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not
be further waived by such Holder, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs,
thereafter the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1 may
be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61
days prior notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other
percentage (and not limited to 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder and the provisions
of this Section 1 shall continue to apply. The limitations on Exercise set forth
in this subsection are referred to as the Beneficial Ownership Limitations.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a
manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1 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. Notwithstanding
the above, Holder shall retain the option to either Exercise or not Exercise its
option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer,
and, in the event of a cash Exercise following a tender offer, the Exercise
Price per share that would otherwise be due shall instead be offset against the
tender price per share to be received by the Holder, provided, however, that in
the event a tender offer is not 2 completed, Holder, at its option may either (i) complete any
Exercise that was initiated after the Offer by promptly paying to the Company
the Exercise Price that would have been due at the time the Warrant was
Exercised, or (ii) cancel such Exercise by providing written notice to the
Company, in which case such Exercise shall be deemed void ad initio. Maximum
Exercise of Rights. In the event the Holder notifies the Company that the
Exercise of the rights described herein would result in the issuance of an
amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that
may be issued to a Holder calculated in the manner described above, then the
issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Holder
will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Holder is able to
beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount
calculated in the manner described herein. The determination of when such Common
Stock may be issued shall be made by each Holder as to only such Holder.
2. Exercise. (a)
Manner of Exercise. During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised
as to all or any lesser number of full shares of Common Stock covered hereby
(the Warrant Shares or the Shares) upon
surrender of this Warrant, with the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the Notice of Exercise) duly completed
and executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which
may be satisfied by either a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as each is
defined below) for each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is Exercised,
at the office of the Company, Attn: Sass Peress, President, CEO & Chairman;
ICP Solar Technologies, Inc., 7075 Place Robert-Joncas, Unit 131, Montreal H4M272,
Phone: 514-270-5770, Fax: (514) 270-3677 or at such other location as the Company
may then be located or such other office or agency as the Company may designate
in writing, by overnight mail, by facsimile (such surrender and payment of the
Exercise Price hereinafter called the Exercise of this Warrant).
In the case of a Cashless Exercise, the Exercise Price is deemed to have been
delivered upon the Holders deliver of a Notice of Exercise to the Company. (b)
Date of Exercise. The Date of Exercise of the Warrant shall be
defined as the date that a copy of the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto
as Exhibit A, completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to the Company or its
transfer agent (Transfer Agent) (including but not limited to a scanned
PDF file which is delivered as an attachment to an e-mail to the Company),
provided that the original Warrant (if delivery of the original Warrant is
required pursuant to Section 2(l) hereof) and Notice of Exercise Form are
received by the Company and the Exercise Price is satisfied, each as soon as
practicable thereafter. Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as
the date the original Notice of Exercise Form is received by the Company, if
Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile. Upon delivery of the Notice of
Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile or otherwise, the Holder shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC
account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant
Shares as the case may be. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice
of Exercise within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event of any
dispute or 3 discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. (c)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise. Within 3 Trading Days from the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant
(if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (which, in the case
of a Cashless Exercise, shall be deemed to have been paid upon the submission
by the Holder of a Notice of Exercise)(the Warrant Shares Delivery
Deadline), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer
agent so to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon
the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (Exercise
Shares) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined
in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part thereof,
the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including
obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's
transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its
nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations
to be specified at Exercise representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other
than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of
the Company's Common Stock and that, unless waived by the Holder, the Exercise
Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a
legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares if the
Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met. If the Company fails for
any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares
subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline (a Warrant
Shares Delivery Failure), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in
cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP (as defined below) of the
Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated
damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Shares Delivery
Deadline until such certificates are delivered (Warrant Shares Delivery
Failure Payments). (d)
Payment of Accrued Warrant Shares Delivery Failure Payments. The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in cash or cash
equivalent upon demand or, if not demanded sooner, on or before the fifth (5th)
day of each month following a month in which they accrue. Warrant Shares
Delivery Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is
entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant. Nothing herein shall limit
the Holder's right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the
Warrant Shares Delivery Failure Payments) for the Company's Warrant Shares
Delivery Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief). (e)
Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of
interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the
maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to
the Company. 4 (f)
Revocation of Exercise Upon Delivery Failure. In addition to any
other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the
Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the
Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline, the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or
part of the relevant Notice of Exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect
to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to
their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice,
except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the
date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(g) Legends. (i)
Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that the Warrant and, until
such time as Exercise Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act as
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act without any restriction
as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, the Exercise Shares may bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer of the certificates for such securities): THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN
FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY,
THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT
TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. (ii)
Removal of Restrictive Legends. Certificates evidencing the Exercise
Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including
the legend set forth above in subsection 2(g)(i)): (i) while a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the
Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Exercise Shares pursuant to
Rule 144, or (iii) if such Exercise Shares are eligible for sale under Rule
144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by the staff of the Commission) (collectively, the Unrestricted
Conditions). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion
to the Companys transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date (as defined
below) of the Registration Statement if required by the Companys transfer agent
to effect the issuance of Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend or
removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the
time of issuance or resale of Exercise Shares, then such Exercise Shares shall
be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is
otherwise no longer required under 5 this Section 2(g), it will, no later than three (3) Trading
Days following the delivery (the Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline)
by the Holder to the Company or the Companys transfer agent of a certificate
representing Exercise Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend
(such third Trading Day, the Legend Removal Date), deliver, or cause
the Transfer Agent to deliver at the Companys expense, to such Holder a
certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from
all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, Effective Date
shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required
to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission). (iii)
Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the
restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in
this Section 2(g)(i) above is predicated upon the Companys reliance that the
Holder will sell any Exercise Shares pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the
plan of distribution set forth therein. (h)
Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full
Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not
Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock. (i)
Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of
Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of
the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company. (j)
Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the unlegended shares of Common Stock issuable upon
Exercise (the Unlegended Shares), provided the Companys transfer agent
is participating in the Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated
Securities Transfer (FAST) program, upon written request of the Holder,
so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend, are not required to
bear a legend, and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for
the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC identified in the written request
through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system.
Otherwise, delivery of the Common Stock shall be by physical delivery to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. The time periods for
delivery and liquidated damages described herein shall apply to the electronic
transmittals described herein, or to physical delivery, whichever is
applicable. 6 (k)
Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an
Exercise on or before the Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) or the Holders brokerage firm otherwise purchases
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a
Buy-In), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the
amount by which (x) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the
amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the
Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at
issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which
such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with
its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. 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 Exercise of shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (1) 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, together
with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holders 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 Companys failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof. (l)
Surrender of Warrant Upon Exercise; Book-Entry. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon Exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender the original Warrant Certificate to the Company unless all of this
Warrant is Exercised, in which case such Holder shall deliver the original
Warrant being Exercised to the Company promptly following the Date of Exercise
at issue. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion
of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect
of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder
and the Company shall maintain records showing the amount of this Warrant that
is so Exercised and the dates of such Exercises or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require
physical surrender of this original Warrant upon each such Exercise. In the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Holder shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and
any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for
purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the
face hereof. 7
3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price. The
Exercise Price (Exercise Price) shall initially equal $1.00
per share (the Initial Exercise Price), subject to adjustment
pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below. Payment
of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination
thereof, at the election of Holder: (i)
Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in
cash, bank or cashiers check or wire transfer (a Cash Exercise); or
(ii)
Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this
Warrant in one or more cashless exercise transactions anytime that there is not
a current and effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) then in effect covering the resale of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder
shall surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall
issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula (a Cashless Exercise): X = Y (A-B)/A where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
Holder. Y = the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised. A = the Market Price of one (1) share
of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(ii), where Market
Price, as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined
herein) of the Companys Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive trading
day period immediately preceding the date of Exercise, or other applicable date.
B = the
Exercise Price. As used
herein, the Volume Weighted Average Price or VWAP for any
security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price on the Over
the Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (the OTC-BB) as reported by, or
based upon data reported by, Bloomberg L.P. or an equivalent, reliable reporting
service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority
in interest of the Warrants and the Company (Bloomberg) or, if the
OTC-BB is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume
weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities
exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported
by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such
security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by
Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is 8 reported for such security by
Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security
that are listed in the pink sheets by the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security
on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price
shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the
holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the
calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to
determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. Trading Day shall mean
any day on which the Common Sock is traded for any period on the OTC-BB, or on
the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common
Stock is then being traded. For
purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this
Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired
at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
4. Transfer and Registration. (a)
Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly
completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this
Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to
the portion hereof retained. (b)
Registrable Securities. The Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this
Warrant has registration rights pursuant to that certain Registration Rights
Agreements between the Company and the Holder dated even herewith.
5. Anti-Dilution Adjustments; Additional
Adjustments; Purchase Rights.
(a) [Omitted]. (b)
Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time
effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective
date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be
entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease
in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization,
reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the
case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in
the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The
Company shall give Holder the same 9 notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any
transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Exercise Price Adjusted. As
used in this Warrant, the term Exercise Price shall mean the purchase
price per share specified in Section 3 of this Warrant, until the occurrence of
an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and
thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance
with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment under this Section 5
shall be made unless such adjustment would change the Exercise Price at the time
by $.01 or more; provided, however, that all adjustments not so made shall be
deferred and made when the aggregate thereof would change the Exercise Price at
the time by $.01 or more. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this
Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation
to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Stock. (d)
Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at
any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or
otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to
receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then,
wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets;
and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5. (e)
Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents. If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this
Section 5(e) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
(including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued by the Company in connection with an Exempt Issuance (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) for a consideration per share (the
"New Issuance Price") less than a price (the "Applicable Price")
equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or
deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"), then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. Upon each such
adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares shall
be adjusted in accordance with Section 5(k) below. The adjustments required by
this paragraph and by Sections 5(e)(i)-(iv) below are referred to in the
singular, as a Subsequent Issuance Adjustment, and collectively as
Subsequent Issuance Adjustments. For purposes of determining the
adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 5(e), the following shall be
applicable: (i)
Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than
the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 5(e)(i), the "lowest price per 10 share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. (ii)
Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells
any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed
to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.
For the purposes of this Section 5(e)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which
one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange"
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any)
received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock
upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. In the case of a Convertible
Security which is accompanied Options (collectively, a Unit), the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security shall equal (i)
the consideration deemed received in exchange for the Convertible Security, as
determined in accordance with subsection 5(e)(iv) below, divided by (ii) the
total number of shares into which such Convertible Security is convertible or
exchangeable (without regard to any contractual limitation on the timing or
amount of conversions). (iii)
Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for
in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such
increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price,
additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case
may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this
Section 5(e)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Note are increased or decreased
in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option
or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as
of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section
5(e)(iii) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the
Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In
case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other
securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the
Options will be deemed to have been issued for 11 their Black Scholes value, and the other securities issued or
sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have been issued or sold
for the balance of the consideration received by the Company. If any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be
deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the
Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the Weighted Average Price of such security on
the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may
be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be
determined jointly by the Company and the Required Warrant Holders. If such
parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence
of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value
of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the
tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser
jointly selected by the Company and the Required Warrant Holders. The
determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties
absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne
by the Company. (v)
Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii)
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue
or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon
the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or
the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case
may be. 12 For
purposes hereof: Common
Stock Equivalents, Exempt Issuance and Variable Equity
Securities shall each have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities
Purchase Agreement. Convertible
Securities means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or
indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.
Options
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock
or Convertible Securities. (f)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at anytime prior to the date
that all of the Warrants have been Exercised, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in
accordance with their terms, shall 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 (the Base Rights
Offering Price) that is lower than the Exercise Price then in effect, then
the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced (but not increased) to the
Base Rights Offering Price (a Subsequent Rights Offering Adjustment).
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. No
adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Exercise Price then in effect. (g)
Milestone Adjustments. If the Company shall have failed (each a
Milestone Failure) to meet or exceed any of the milestone goals
(Milestone Goals) that are set forth on Schedule 5(g) annexed
hereto for any one or more of the following periods (each a Milestone
Period): (i) the six (6) month period ending October 31, 2008 or (ii) the
twelve (12) month period ending April 30, 2009 (each a Milestone Date),
as reported in the Companys Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) for
such fiscal period, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced (but not increased)
(each, a Milestone Adjustment) to equal the lesser of (a) the Exercise
Price then in effect, (b) the Market Price as determined on the applicable
Milestone Date, or (c) the Market Price as determined on the date (each, a
Milestone Adjustment Date) that is five (5) Trading Days after the date
that Company files its next Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) with the
Commission following the end of the applicable Milestone Period (the
Milestone Adjustment Price). Each
such adjustment shall be effective as of the first day following each Milestone
Date (by way of example, if the Milestone Goal is not met for the Milestone
Period ending October 31, 2008, the reduction is effective immediately on
November 1, 2008). As to any Exercises by the Holder that occurred following the
end of a Milestone Period but prior to the date the Companys periodic report
was filed (Interim Period), the Company shall retroactively send the
Holder additional Warrant Shares (Interim Warrant Shares) within 3
Trading Days of the date of the applicable filing if an adjustment is required
hereunder (provided that to the extent any such shares would cause the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation to be exceeded, such excess shares shall not be
issued and delivered until such time as such shares may be so issued without
exceeding the 13 Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The number of additional
Warrant Shares issued shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares receivable
from such Exercises based on the adjusted Exercise Price less any Warrant Shares
previously received on account of such Exercises. Any subsequent restatements of
the Companys financials shall require similar retroactive issuances if the
aforementioned events are subsequently deemed to have occurred. The Company
shall provide written notice to the Holder no later than 1 Business Day
following the Companys filing of the applicable periodic report with the
Commission, indicating therein the new Exercise Price, the increased number of
shares represented by the Warrant, and the revenue and EBITDA for the applicable
Milestone Period. In the event that there is an adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to any other provision under this Warrant during the Interim Period,
the Exercise Price shall be the lower of (i) the Exercise Price as adjusted
pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant and (ii) the new Exercise Price
as determined hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i)
the provision shall only have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price and (ii)
each adjustment shall be permanent notwithstanding future Revenue or the
achievement of any other milestones and cumulative with any other adjustments
hereunder.
(h) Adjustments to Exercise Price During Major
Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Debenture to the
contrary, in the event the Company makes any public announcement (the date of
such announcement is hereinafter referred to as the Announcement Date) anytime
during the period beginning five (5) Business Days before any Milestone
Adjustment Date and ending five (5) Business Days after such Milestone
Adjustment Date (the Protected Period), then the Milestone Adjustment Price
for such Milestone Adjustment shall equal the lesser of (X) the Milestone
Adjustment Price as determined pursuant to Section 5(h) above, (Y) the Market
Price as determined on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Announcement
Date and (Z) the Market Price as determined on the date that is ten (10) Trading
Days after the Announcement Date. (i)
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of
shares represented by this Warrant shall proportionally increase. If the Company
at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder
into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting
such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
represented by this Warrant shall proportionally decrease. (j)
Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the
term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and
for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company (a Voluntary Adjustment). 14 (k)
Adjustment to Number of Shares. In the event of any adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, including but not limited
to any Subsequent Issuance Adjustment any Subsequent Rights Offering Adjustment,
or any Voluntary Adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price
payable in a full Cash Exercise hereunder, after taking into account the
decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
payable in a full Cash Exercise prior to such adjustment, and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable in a Cashless Exercise shall be increased
accordingly. (l)
Notice of Adjustments; Notice Failure Adjustment. The Company shall
notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) Business Day following any
Dilutive Issuance, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or
applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, exercise price and
other pricing terms (such notice, the Dilutive Issuance Notice). In the
event that the Company fails to provide the Holder with an Exercise Price
Adjustment Notice within five (5) Business Days of any Dilutive Issuance (the
Dilutive Issuance Notice Deadline), the Exercise Price shall be
permanently reduced (but not increased) on the Dilutive Issuance Notice
Deadline, and on the same day of each calendar month thereafter until such
notice is given (each, a Notice Failure Adjustment Date), or in each
case if not a business day, then on the next business day (each, a Notice
Failure Adjustment) to a price equal to the lesser of (a) the Exercise
Price then in effect or (b) 100% of the VWAP for five (5) trading day period
immediately preceding the applicable Notice Failure Adjustment Date
(collectively, the Notice Failure Adjustment Price). Whenever
the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant, the Company shall within Five (5) Business Days mail to the Holder a
notice (a Exercise Price Adjustment Notice) setting forth the new
Exercise Price and specifying the new number of shares into which the Warrant is
convertible after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any
time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such
adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and
(iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the
Warrant, following delivery of the original Warrant to the Company for exchange.
If the Company issues Variable Equity Securities (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement), despite the prohibition thereon in the Securities 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. For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Corporation provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice
pursuant to this Section 5(l), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an
adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holders are entitled to receive an
Exercise Price and a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise
Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such
adjustment, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the adjusted
Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise. (m)
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a
dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B)
the 15 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
mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register 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 exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of
such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. (n)
Purchase Rights. In addition to any other adjustments described herein,
if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the
Purchase Rights), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the
terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which
the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the proportionate number
of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
6. Fractional Interests. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon
the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may
purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this
Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a
right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall
be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
shall be the next closest number of whole shares. 16
7. Reservation of Shares. From and
after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities
substituted therefor as herein above provided) equal to 125% (the Minimum
Warrant Share Reservation Amount) of such number as shall be sufficient for
the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in full without
regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation. If at any time the number of
shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below 125% of the
number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a Share
Authorization Failure)(based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to
time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to
authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without
limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional
shares to meet the Company's obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an
insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain
stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares such
that the number of shares authorized and reserved for the Exercise of this
Warrant shall exceed the Minimum Warrant Share Reservation Amount. The Company
covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid, nonassessable and not subject to liens, claims, preemptive rights, rights
of first refusal or similar rights of any person or entity.
8. Restrictions on Transfer. (a)
Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by virtue of
Regulation D and exempt from state registration under applicable state laws. The
Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may not
be transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Act and
applicable state laws. (b)
Assignment. If Holder can provide the Company with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that the conditions of (a) above regarding registration or
exemption have been satisfied, Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a
written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant
shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each
assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within ten (10) days of
receipt of such notice, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by
Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number
of shares. 9.
Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the
Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of
arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the
provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required 17 to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of
any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above
the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
this Warrant.
10. Rights Upon Major Transaction or Change of
Entity Transaction. (a) Definitions. For
purposes hereof, Change
of Entity Transaction means (i) a consolidation, merger, exchange of
shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar
event, (A) following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding
such consolidation, merger, combination or event either (1) no longer hold a
majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company or (2) no longer have the
ability to elect the board of directors of the Company or (B) as a result of
which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into (or the shares of Common
Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of
the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or
another entity. Sufficient
Trading Characteristics shall mean that the average daily dollar trading
volume of the common stock of such entity on its primary exchange or market is
equal to or in excess of $100,000 for the 90th through the 31st day prior to the
public announcement of such transaction. Permissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
where the Successor Entity (as defined below) (A) is a publicly traded Company
whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, (B)
has Sufficient Trading Characteristics (as defined above) and (C) meets the
Assumption Requirements (as required in Section 10(b) below). Eligible
Market means the over the counter Bulletin Board (OTC-BB),
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global
Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the American Stock Exchange. Impermissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
which does not qualify as a Permissible Change of Entity Transaction.
Major Transaction means
(i) an Impermissible Change of Entity Transaction;
and 18 (ii)
the sale or transfer of more than 40%, in the aggregate, of the properties or
assets of the Company to another Person or Persons in one or a series of related
transactions in any rolling 12 month period (an Asset Sale); and (iii)
a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the holders of more
than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (b)
Assumption Upon Change of Entity Transaction. The Company shall not, so
long as any portion of this Warrant remains outstanding, enter into or be party
to a Change of Entity Transaction unless any Person purchasing the Companys
assets or Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Change of
Entity Transaction (in each case, an Successor Entity), assumes
(an Assumption) in writing all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section
10(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the
Required Warrant Holders (as defined below) and approved by the Required Warrant
Holders prior to such Change of Entity Transaction, including agreements to
deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, having
an exercise price equal to the Exercise Price of this Warrant, having similar
exercise rights as this Warrant (including but not limited to similar exercise
price adjustment provisions), and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Warrant
Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor
Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the
date of such Change of Entity Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring
to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and
may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under the Warrant with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of
a Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder
confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise or redemption of the Warrant
at any time after the consummation of the Change of Entity Transaction, in lieu
of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property)
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Change of Entity Transaction,
such shares of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of
this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Change of Entity
Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of the Warrant. The requirements of this Section 10(b) are referred to herein
as the Assumption Requirements. For
purposes hereof, Required Warrant Holders shall mean the Holders of
greater than seventy five percent (75%) of the then outstanding Warrants
(determined by the number of unexercised underlying shares). (c)
Notice of Major Transaction; Redemption Right Upon Major
Transaction. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of a
Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such transaction,
the Company shall deliver written notice 19 thereof to the Holder (a Major Transaction Notice),
which notice shall specify the nature and terms of the proposed transaction and
nature of the Successor Entity (if any). (d)
Redemption Right Upon Major Transaction. At any time during the period
beginning after the Holder's receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending on
the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction,
the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Holders
Warrant by delivering written notice thereof (Major Transaction Redemption
Notice) to the Company, which Major Transaction Redemption Notice shall
indicate the number of Warrant Shares of its Warrant (the Redemption Warrant
Amount) that the Holder is electing to be redeemed. The
portion of this Warrant subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10(d)
shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 100% of the greater
of (i) the Black Scholes value (as defined below) of the remaining outstanding
portion of the Warrant to be redeemed on the date the Major Transaction is
consummated calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model and (ii) the
Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant to be
redeemed on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Major
Transaction Redemption Price (as defined below) is paid to the Holder (the
greater of which is referred to as the Major Transaction Redemption
Price). For purposes hereof, the Black-Scholes value of a Warrant
shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting
(A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a
period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request
and (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day
volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg. (e)
Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Redemption Price. The Company shall
not effect a Major Transaction unless it shall first place, or shall cause the
Successor Entity to place, into an escrow account with an independent escrow
agent, prior to or concurrently with the closing date of the Major Transaction
(the Major Transaction Escrow Deadline), an amount equal to the Major
Transaction Redemption Price. Concurrently upon closing of any Major
Transaction, the Company shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the
Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder, which payment shall constitute
a Redemption Upon Major Transaction of the Warrants. (f)
Injunction. In the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major
Transaction without placing the Major Transaction Redemption Price in escrow in
accordance with subsection (e) above or without payment of the Major Transaction
Redemption Price to the Holder upon consummation of such Major Transaction, the
Buyer shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the
closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Redemption Price
is paid to the Holder, in full.
(g) Mechanics of Redemptions Upon
Major Transactions. Redemptions
required by this Section 10 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, until
the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full, the portion of the
Warrant 20 submitted for redemption under this Section may be converted,
in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event
the Exercise Date is after the consummation of a Major Transaction, into shares
of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to
Section 10(b). Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice
of Exercise, any amount of this Warrant exercised during the period from the
date of the Major Transaction Redemption Notice until the date the Major
Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full shall be considered to be an
exercise (instead of a Redemption) of a portion of the Warrant that would have
been subject to such Redemption, and any amounts of this Warrant exercised from
time to time during such period shall exercised in full into Common Stock at the
Exercise Price then in effect, and the number of shares of this Warrant so
exercised into Common Stock shall be deducted from the number of Warrants that
are subject to redemption hereunder. The parties hereto agree that in the event
of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Warrant under this Section
10(d), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because
of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty
of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the
Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 10 is
intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the
Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
11. Default and Redemption. (a)
Events of Default. Each of the following events which occur while any
Warrants are outstanding shall be considered to be an Event of
Default: (i)
Failure To File and Pursue Registration. An Event of Default
occurs under Section 10(c) of the Debentures, with respect to any Warrant Shares
(a Registration Default); (ii)

and any such Event of Default continues for an additional ten (10) Business Days
after the Holder provides written notice to the Company that an Event of Default
has occurred and specifying the factual basis therefor, then thereafter, unless
waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through
the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the Default
Notice), the outstanding amount of this Warrant shall be immediately
redeemed by the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder (a Mandatory
Redemption) an amount (the Mandatory Redemption Amount or the
Default Amount) equal to 100% of the greater of (i) the Black-Scholes
value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such
Default Notice and (2) the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that
the Mandatory Redemption Amount is paid to the Holder. The
Mandatory Redemption Amount shall be payable, in cash or cash equivalent, within
five (5) business days of the Date of the applicable Default Notice (the
Default Amount Due Date). If the Company fails to pay the Mandatory
Redemption Amount within thirty (30) days of the Default Amount Due Date, then
(A) the Exercise Price shall be permanently decreased (but not increased) on the
first Trading Day of each calendar month thereafter (each a Default
Adjustment Date) until the Default Amount is paid in full, to a price equal
to the lesser of (i) the Exercise Price then in effect, or (ii) the lowest
Market Price that has occurred on any Default Adjustment Date since the date
that the Event of Default began. Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Failure Payments and any other Required Cash Payments (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement) shall continue to accrue. On the date that is
five (5) Business Days after the Companys receipt of the Holders Default
Notice, the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder,
shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or
notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs,
including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the
Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at
law or in equity, and (B) . If
the Company fails to pay the Default Amount within the (10)Business Days of
written notice that such amount is due and payable (the Default Amount Due
Date), 22 then interest shall accrue thereon at a rate of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum, compounded monthly (or the maximum amount allowed by
applicable law, whichever is less), and the Holder shall have the right at any
time, so long as the Company remains in default (and so long and to the extent
that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Company, upon
written notice (Default Exercise Notice) (which may be given one or
more times, from time to time anytime after the Default Amount Due Date), to
immediately issue (a Default Exercise), in lieu of all or any specified
portion (the Specified Portion) of the unpaid portion (the Unpaid
Portion) of the Default Amount, a number (the Default Share
Amount) of shares (the Default Shares) of Common Stock, subject to
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, equal to the Specified Portion of the
Default Amount divided by the Exercise Price in effect on the date such
shares are issued to the Holder, PROVIDED THAT, the Holder may require that such
payment of shares be made in one or more installments at such time and in such
amounts as Holder chooses. The Default shares are due within five (5) Business
Days of the date that the Holder delivers a Default Exercise Notice to the
Company (the Default Share Delivery Deadline). Upon a
Default Exercise, the Company shall be required to deliver a number of Common
Shares to the Holder equal to the applicable Default Share Amount (as described
above). If
the Company is unable to redeem all of the Warrants submitted for redemption,
the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number
of Warrants submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number
of Warrants submitted for redemption by all Holders. The
Holder shall not be entitled to receive Default Shares on a given date if and to
the extent that such issuance would cause the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
then in effect to be exceeded. If and to the extent that the issuance of Default
Shares with respect to a given Specified Portion would result in the a violation
of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then that particular Specified Portion
shall be automatically reduced to a value that would cause the number of Default
Shares to be issued to equal the Maximum Percentage, and the amount of such
reduction shall be added back to the Unpaid Portion of the Default Amount.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as liquidated damages or pursuant to
a Mandatory Redemption shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties.
The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to
be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate,
(ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or
grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the
Investor, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been
represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated
this Agreement at arms length. The
Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall
immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice,
all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including,
without limitation, 23 legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be
entitled to Exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity. (c)
Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any
of the holders for redemption or repayment of other Warrants that were issued
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Other Warrants) as a
result of an event or occurrence of an Event of Default or a Major Transaction
(each, an Other Redemption Notice), the Company shall immediately, but
no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder
by facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice
and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day
period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days
prior to the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and ending on
and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company's
receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem
all amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption
Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company
shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Warrants (including the
Holder) based on the number of Warrants submitted for redemption pursuant to
such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company
during such seven (7) Business Day period. (d)
Posting of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs
hereunder or any Event of Default occurs under any of the Transaction Documents,
the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below,
or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such
Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in
any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a Surety
Bond) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate
Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holders Debentures and
Warrants (the Bond Amount), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect
until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment. For
purposes hereof, a Lawsuit shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other
dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of the
Transaction Documents. Surety
Bond Value, for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes
value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect) and Surety
Bond Value for the Debentures shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the
Debenture. (e)
Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default
referred to in subsection (d) above pertains to the Companys failure to deliver
unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise,
legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended
share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or
affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an
injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining
Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by
the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the 24 benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount (as
described above), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion
of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such
Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment. (f)
Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies
provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at
law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to
pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder could cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law
for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the
event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant could
seek, in addition to all other available remedies, an injunction restraining any
breach.
12. Holders Redemptions. (a)
Mechanics of Holders Redemptions. In the event that the Holder has
sent a Major Transaction Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section
10(d) or a Default Notice pursuant to Section 11(b)(i), respectively (each, a
Redemption Notice), the Holder shall promptly submit this Warrant to
the Company (if delivery of the original Warrant is required pursuant to Section
2(l). In the event of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding portion
of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to
the Holder a new Warrant representing the outstanding number of underlying
Warrant Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does
not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period
required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid
Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of
redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any
portion of this Warrant that was submitted for redemption and for which the
applicable Major Transaction Redemption Price (together with any late charges
thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company's receipt of such notice, (x) the
applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such
Redemption Share Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant,
or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant
that was submitted for redemption. The Holder's delivery of a notice voiding a
Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not
affect the Company's obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which
have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant
subject to such notice. (b)
Warrants Detachable. The Warrants constitute a separate, detachable
security from the Debentures. In the event of any redemption of the Debentures,
in whole or in part, by the Company, the Holder shall retain its outstanding
Warrants. 13.
Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies
provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at
law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder right
to pursue actual damages for any failure by 25 the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder could
cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such
breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any
such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant could seek, in
addition to all other available remedies, an injunction restraining any breach.
14.
Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of
the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue to
the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such
dispute in accordance with this subsection. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the
Companys Common Stock or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price,
Market Price or any Redemption Price, or the determination of whether or not a
Dilutive Issuance or a Milestone Failure has occurred, the Company shall submit
the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two
(2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Notice of Exercise or
Redemption Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may
be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such
determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed
determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the
Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (i) the
disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price
of the Companys Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank
selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise
Price, Market Price or any Redemption Price to the Companys independent,
outside accountant or (iii) the disputed facts regarding the occurrence of a
Dilutive Issuance or Milestone Failure (or any other matter referred to above
that is not expressly designated to the independent investment bank or the
independent outside accountant pursuant to (i) or (ii) immediately above) to an
expert attorney from a nationally recognized outside law firm (having at least
50 attorneys and having with no prior relationship with the Company) selected by
the Company and approved by the Holder. The Company, at the Companys expense,
shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, law firm, or other expert, as
the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the
Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from
the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such
investment banks or accountants determination or calculation, as the case may
be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error (collectively,
the Dispute Resolution Procedures).

CERTIFIES that BRIDGEPOINTE MASTER FUND LTD., a Cayman Islands Exempted
Company or any subsequent holder hereof (Holder) has the right to
purchase from ICP Solar Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
Company), up to Three Million Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Three
Hundred Thirty-Three (3,333,333) fully paid and nonassessable shares, of the
Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (Common Stock),
subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price
as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined
below). Holder
agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the
Company (this Warrant or this Agreement) is issued and all
rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and
provisions set forth herein.
1. Date of Issuance and Term. This
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on June 13, 2008 (Date of
Issuance). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is six (6) years after
the Date of Issuance (the Term). This Warrant was issued in conjunction
with the issuance of Debentures of the Company (the Debentures) to the
Holder pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
(Securities Purchase Agreement), and the Registration Rights Agreement
(Registration Rights Agreement) by and between the Company and Holder
dated on or about June 13, 2008. 1 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the applicable portion of this Warrant shall
not be exercisable during any time that, and only to the extent that, the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder upon such Exercise (as defined
in Section 2(a)), when added to the number of shares of Common Stock, if any,
that the Holder otherwise beneficially owns (outside of this Warrant, and not
including any other warrants or securities of Holders having a provision
substantially similar to this paragraph) at the time of such Exercise, would
exceed 4.99% (the Maximum Percentage) of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder, as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The Beneficial Ownership
Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the applicable Notice of Exercise
includes a signed representation by the Holder that the issuance of the shares
in such Notice of Exercise will not violate the Limitation, and the Company
shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such satisfaction.
Notwithstanding
the above, in the event that the Company receives any purchase, tender or
exchange offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby
the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an Offer), then the
Maximum Percentage shall be increased (but not decreased) to 9.99%, and 4.99%
shall be automatically revised immediately after such offer to read 9.99% each
place it occurs in this Section 1. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 1 may be waived by such Holder, at the election of
such Holder, upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company, to change
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any amount not in excess of 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of this Warrant held by
the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall continue to apply. Upon
such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99%
limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not
be further waived by such Holder, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs,
thereafter the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1 may
be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61
days prior notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other
percentage (and not limited to 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder and the provisions
of this Section 1 shall continue to apply. The limitations on Exercise set forth
in this subsection are referred to as the Beneficial Ownership Limitations.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a
manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1 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. Notwithstanding
the above, Holder shall retain the option to either Exercise or not Exercise its
option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer,
and, in the event of a cash Exercise following a tender offer, the Exercise
Price per share that would otherwise be due shall instead be offset against the
tender price per share to be received by the Holder, provided, however, that in
the event a tender offer is not 2 completed, Holder, at its option may either (i) complete any
Exercise that was initiated after the Offer by promptly paying to the Company
the Exercise Price that would have been due at the time the Warrant was
Exercised, or (ii) cancel such Exercise by providing written notice to the
Company, in which case such Exercise shall be deemed void ad initio. Maximum
Exercise of Rights. In the event the Holder notifies the Company that the
Exercise of the rights described herein would result in the issuance of an
amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that
may be issued to a Holder calculated in the manner described above, then the
issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Holder
will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Holder is able to
beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount
calculated in the manner described herein. The determination of when such Common
Stock may be issued shall be made by each Holder as to only such Holder.
2. Exercise. (a)
Manner of Exercise. This Series C Warrant may not be exercised until
after the Series B Warrant of the Holder has been exercised in full. Thereafter,
during the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number
of full shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the Warrant Shares
or the Shares) upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Notice
of Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Notice of

practicable thereafter. Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as
the date the original Notice of Exercise Form is received by the Company, if

Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile or otherwise, the Holder shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC
account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant 3 Shares as the case may be. The Company shall deliver any
objection to any Notice of Exercise 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. (c)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise. Within 3 Trading Days from

Deadline), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer
agent so to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon
the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (Exercise
Shares) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined
in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part thereof,
the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including
obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's
transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its
nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations
to be specified at Exercise representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other
than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of
the Company's Common Stock and that, unless waived by the Holder, the Exercise
Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a
legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares if the
Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met. If the Company fails for
any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares
subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline (a Warrant
Shares Delivery Failure), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in
cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP (as defined below) of the
Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated
damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Shares Delivery
Deadline until such certificates are delivered (Warrant Shares Delivery
Failure Payments). (d)
Payment of Accrued Warrant Shares Delivery Failure Payments. The Company
shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in cash or cash equivalent
upon demand or, if not demanded sooner, on or before the fifth (5th) day of each
month following a month in which they accrue. Warrant Shares Delivery Failure
Payments are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive
upon Exercise of this Warrant. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Warrant Shares Delivery
Failure Payments) for the Company's Warrant Shares Delivery Failure, and the
Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). (e)
Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of
interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the
maximum permitted by such law, any payments 4 in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts
owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company. (f)
Revocation of Exercise Upon Delivery Failure. In addition to any
other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the
Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the
Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline, the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or
part of the relevant Notice of Exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect
to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to
their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice,
except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the
date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(g) Legends. (i)
Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that the Warrant and, until
such time as Exercise Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act as
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act without any restriction
as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, the Exercise Shares may bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer of the certificates for such securities): THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID
ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. (ii)
Removal of Restrictive Legends. Certificates evidencing the Exercise
Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including
the legend set forth above in subsection 2(g)(i)): (i) while a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the
Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Exercise Shares pursuant to
Rule 144, or (iii) if such Exercise Shares are eligible for sale under Rule
144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by the staff of the Commission) (collectively, the Unrestricted
Conditions). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion
to the Companys transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date (as defined
below) of the Registration Statement if required by the Companys transfer agent
to effect the issuance of Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend or
removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the
time of issuance or resale of Exercise Shares, then such Exercise Shares shall
be issued free 5 of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is
otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(g), it will, no later than
three (3) Trading Days following the delivery (the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Deadline) by the Holder to the Company or the Companys transfer
agent of a certificate representing Exercise Shares, as applicable, issued with
a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the Legend Removal Date),
deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver at the Companys expense, to
such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that
is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof,
Effective Date shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that
the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission). (iii)
Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the
restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in
this Section 2(g)(i) above is predicated upon the Companys reliance that the
Holder will sell any Exercise Shares pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the
plan of distribution set forth therein. (h)
Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full
Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not
Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock. (i)
Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of
Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of
the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company. (j)
Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the unlegended shares of Common Stock issuable upon
Exercise (the Unlegended Shares), provided the Companys transfer agent
is participating in the Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated
Securities Transfer (FAST) program, upon written request of the Holder,
so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend, are not required to
bear a legend, and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for
the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC identified in the written request
through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system.
Otherwise, delivery of the Common Stock shall be by physical delivery to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. The time periods for
delivery and liquidated damages described herein shall apply to the electronic
transmittals described herein, or to physical delivery, whichever is
applicable. 6 (k)
Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an
Exercise on or before the Warrant Shares Delivery Deadline, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) or the Holders brokerage firm otherwise purchases
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a
Buy-In), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the
amount by which (x) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the
amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the
Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at
issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which
such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with
its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. 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 Exercise of shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (1) 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, together
with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holders 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 Companys failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof. (l)
Surrender of Warrant Upon Exercise; Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, upon Exercise of this Warrant in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the
original Warrant Certificate to the Company unless all of this Warrant is
Exercised, in which case such Holder shall deliver the original Warrant being
Exercised to the Company promptly following the Date of Exercise at issue.
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the
total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of
lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder
and the Company shall maintain records showing the amount of this Warrant that
is so Exercised and the dates of such Exercises or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require
physical surrender of this original Warrant upon each such Exercise. In the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Holder shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and
any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for
purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the
face hereof. 7
3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price. The
Exercise Price (Exercise Price) shall initially equal $1.00
per share (the Initial Exercise Price), subject to adjustment
pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below. Payment
of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination
thereof, at the election of Holder: (i)
Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in
cash, bank or cashiers check or wire transfer (a Cash Exercise); or
(ii)
Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this
Warrant in one or more cashless exercise transactions anytime that there is not
a current and effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) then in effect covering the resale of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder
shall surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall
issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula (a Cashless Exercise): X = Y (A-B)/A where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
Holder. Y = the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised. A = the Market Price of one (1) share
of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(ii), where Market
Price, as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined
herein) of the Companys Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive trading
day period immediately preceding the date of Exercise, or other applicable date.
B = the Exercise Price. As
used herein, the Volume Weighted Average Price or VWAP for any
security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price on the Over
the Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (the OTC-BB) as reported by, or
based upon data reported by, Bloomberg L.P. or an equivalent, reliable reporting
service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority
in interest of the Warrants and the Company (Bloomberg) or, if the
OTC-BB is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume
weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities
exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported
by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such
security, then the last closing trade 8 price of such security as reported by
Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by
Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security
that are listed in the pink sheets by the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security
on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price
shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the
holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the
calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to
determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. Trading Day shall mean
any day on which the Common Sock is traded for any period on the OTC-BB, or on
the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common
Stock is then being traded. For
purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this
Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired
at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
4. Transfer and Registration. (a)
Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly
completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this
Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to
the portion hereof retained. (b)
Registrable Securities. The Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of
this Warrant has registration rights pursuant to that certain Registration
Rights Agreements between the Company and the Holder dated even herewith.
5. Anti-Dilution Adjustments; Additional
Adjustments; Purchase Rights.
(a) [Omitted]. (b)
Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time
effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective
date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be
entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease
in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization,
reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the
case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in
the case of decrease in 9 the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company
shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any
transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Exercise Price Adjusted. As
used in this Warrant, the term Exercise Price shall mean the purchase
price per share specified in Section 3 of this Warrant, until the occurrence of
an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and
thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance
with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment under this Section 5
shall be made unless such adjustment would change the Exercise Price at the time
by $.01 or more; provided, however, that all adjustments not so made shall be
deferred and made when the aggregate thereof would change the Exercise Price at
the time by $.01 or more. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this
Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation
to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Stock. (d)
Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that
at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or
otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to
receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then,
wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets;
and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5. (e)
Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents. If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this
Section 5(e) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
(including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued by the Company in connection with an Exempt Issuance (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) for a consideration per share (the
"New Issuance Price") less than a price (the "Applicable Price")
equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or
deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"), then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. Upon each such
adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares shall
be adjusted in accordance with Section 5(k) below. The adjustments required by
this paragraph and by Sections 5(e)(i)-(iv) below are referred to in the
singular, as a Subsequent Issuance Adjustment, and collectively as
Subsequent Issuance Adjustments. For purposes of determining the
adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 5(e), the following shall be
applicable: (i)
Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than
the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such 10 Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section
5(e)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts
of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to
any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon
exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. (ii)
Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells
any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed
to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.
For the purposes of this Section 5(e)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which
one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange"
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any)
received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock
upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. In the case of a Convertible
Security which is accompanied Options (collectively, a Unit), the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security shall equal (i)
the consideration deemed received in exchange for the Convertible Security, as
determined in accordance with subsection 5(e)(iv) below, divided by (ii) the
total number of shares into which such Convertible Security is convertible or
exchangeable (without regard to any contractual limitation on the timing or
amount of conversions). (iii)
Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for
in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such
increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price,
additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case
may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this
Section 5(e)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Note are increased or decreased
in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option
or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as
of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section
5(e)(iii) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the
Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
(iv)
Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together
11 comprising one integrated transaction, the Options will be
deemed to have been issued for their Black Scholes value, and the other
securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have
been issued or sold for the balance of the consideration received by the
Company. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration
received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company
therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such
consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which
case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Weighted
Average Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the
non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the
surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the
fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving
entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than
cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required
Warrant Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10)
days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation
Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five
(5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an
independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the
Required Warrant Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and
binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne by the Company. (v)
Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii)
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue
or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon
the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or
the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case
may be. 12 For
purposes hereof: Common
Stock Equivalents, Exempt Issuance and Variable Equity
Securities shall each have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities
Purchase Agreement. Convertible
Securities means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or
indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.
Options
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock
or Convertible Securities. (f)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at anytime prior to the
date that all of the Warrants have been Exercised, redeemed or otherwise
satisfied in accordance with their terms, shall 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 (the
Base Rights Offering Price) that is lower than the Exercise Price then
in effect, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced (but not
increased) to the Base Rights Offering Price (a Subsequent Rights Offering
Adjustment). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants
are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or
warrants. No adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment would result
in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect. (g)
Milestone Adjustments. If the Company shall have failed (each a
Milestone Failure) to meet or exceed any of the milestone goals
(Milestone Goals) that are set forth on Schedule 5(g) annexed
hereto for any one or more of the following periods (each a Milestone
Period): (i) the six (6) month period ending October 31, 2008 or (ii) the
twelve (12) month period ending April 30, 2009 (each a Milestone Date),
as reported in the Companys Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) for
such fiscal period, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced (but not increased)
(each, a Milestone Adjustment) to equal the lesser of (a) the Exercise
Price then in effect, (b) the Market Price as determined on the applicable
Milestone Date, or (c) the Market Price as determined on the date (each, a
Milestone Adjustment Date) that is five (5) Trading Days after the date
that Company files its next Form 10-QSB (or Form 10-KSB, if applicable) with the
Commission following the end of the applicable Milestone Period (the
Milestone Adjustment Price). Each
such adjustment shall be effective as of the first day following each Milestone
Date (by way of example, if the Milestone Goal is not met for the Milestone
Period ending October 31, 2008, the reduction is effective immediately on
November 1, 2008). As to any Exercises by the Holder that occurred following the
end of a Milestone Period but prior to the date the Companys periodic report
was filed (Interim Period), the Company shall retroactively send the
Holder additional Warrant Shares (Interim Warrant Shares) within 3
Trading Days of the date of the applicable filing if an adjustment is required
hereunder (provided that to the extent any such shares would cause the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation to be exceeded, such excess shares shall not be
issued and delivered until such time as such shares may be so issued without
exceeding the 13 Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The number of additional
Warrant Shares issued shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares receivable
from such Exercises based on the adjusted Exercise Price less any Warrant Shares
previously received on account of such Exercises. Any subsequent restatements of
the Companys financials shall require similar retroactive issuances if the
aforementioned events are subsequently deemed to have occurred. The Company
shall provide written notice to the Holder no later than 1 Business Day
following the Companys filing of the applicable periodic report with the
Commission, indicating therein the new Exercise Price, the increased number of
shares represented by the Warrant, and the revenue and EBITDA for the applicable
Milestone Period. In the event that there is an adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to any other provision under this Warrant during the Interim Period,
the Exercise Price shall be the lower of (i) the Exercise Price as adjusted
pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant and (ii) the new Exercise Price
as determined hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i)
the provision shall only have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price and (ii)
each adjustment shall be permanent notwithstanding future Revenue or the
achievement of any other milestones and cumulative with any other adjustments
hereunder.
(h) Adjustments to Exercise Price During Major
Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Debenture to the
contrary, in the event the Company makes any public announcement (the date of
such announcement is hereinafter referred to as the Announcement Date) anytime
during the period beginning five (5) Business Days before any Milestone
Adjustment Date and ending five (5) Business Days after such Milestone
Adjustment Date (the Protected Period), then the Milestone Adjustment Price
for such Milestone Adjustment shall equal the lesser of (X) the Milestone
Adjustment Price as determined pursuant to Section 5(h) above, (Y) the Market
Price as determined on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Announcement
Date and (Z) the Market Price as determined on the date that is ten (10) Trading
Days after the Announcement Date. (i)
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of
shares represented by this Warrant shall proportionally increase. If the Company
at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder
into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting
such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
represented by this Warrant shall proportionally decrease. (j)
Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the
term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and
for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company (a Voluntary Adjustment). 14 (k)
Adjustment to Number of Shares. In the event of any adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, including but not limited
to any Subsequent Issuance Adjustment any Subsequent Rights Offering Adjustment,
or any Voluntary Adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price
payable in a full Cash Exercise hereunder, after taking into account the
decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
payable in a full Cash Exercise prior to such adjustment, and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable in a Cashless Exercise shall be increased
accordingly. (l)
Notice of Adjustments; Notice Failure Adjustment. The Company shall
notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) Business Day following any
Dilutive Issuance, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or
applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, exercise price and
other pricing terms (such notice, the Dilutive Issuance Notice). In the
event that the Company fails to provide the Holder with an Exercise Price
Adjustment Notice within five (5) Business Days of any Dilutive Issuance (the
Dilutive Issuance Notice Deadline), the Exercise Price shall be
permanently reduced (but not increased) on the Dilutive Issuance Notice
Deadline, and on the same day of each calendar month thereafter until such
notice is given (each, a Notice Failure Adjustment Date), or in each
case if not a business day, then on the next business day (each, a Notice
Failure Adjustment) to a price equal to the lesser of (a) the Exercise
Price then in effect or (b) 100% of the VWAP for five (5) trading day period
immediately preceding the applicable Notice Failure Adjustment Date
(collectively, the Notice Failure Adjustment Price). Whenever
the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant, the Company shall within Five (5) Business Days mail to the Holder a
notice (a Exercise Price Adjustment Notice) setting forth the new
Exercise Price and specifying the new number of shares into which the Warrant is
convertible after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any
time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such
adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and
(iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the
Warrant, following delivery of the original Warrant to the Company for exchange.
If the Company issues Variable Equity Securities (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement), despite the prohibition thereon in the Securities 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. For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Corporation provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice
pursuant to this Section 5(l), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an
adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holders are entitled to receive an
Exercise Price and a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise
Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such
adjustment, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the adjusted
Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise. (m)
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a
dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B)
the 15 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
mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register 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 exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of
such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. (n)
Purchase Rights. In addition to any other adjustments described herein,
if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the
Purchase Rights), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the
terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which
the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the proportionate number
of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
6. Fractional Interests. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon
the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may
purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this
Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a
right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall
be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
shall be the next closest number of whole shares. 16
7. Reservation of Shares. From and
after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities
substituted therefor as herein above provided) equal to 125% (the Minimum
Warrant Share Reservation Amount) of such number as shall be sufficient for
the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in full without
regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation. If at any time the number of
shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below 125% of the
number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a Share
Authorization Failure)(based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to
time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to
authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without
limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional
shares to meet the Company's obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an
insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain
stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares such
that the number of shares authorized and reserved for the Exercise of this
Warrant shall exceed the Minimum Warrant Share Reservation Amount. The Company
covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid, nonassessable and not subject to liens, claims, preemptive rights, rights
of first refusal or similar rights of any person or entity.
8. Restrictions on Transfer. (a)
Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by virtue of
Regulation D and exempt from state registration under applicable state laws. The
Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may not
be transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Act and
applicable state laws. (b)
Assignment. If Holder can provide the Company with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that the conditions of (a) above regarding registration or
exemption have been satisfied, Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a
written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant
shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each
assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within ten (10) days of
receipt of such notice, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by
Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number
of shares. 9.
Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the
Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of
arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the
provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required 17 to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of
any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above
the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
this Warrant.
10. Rights Upon Major Transaction or Change of
Entity Transaction. (a)
Definitions. For purposes hereof, Change
of Entity Transaction means (i) a consolidation, merger, exchange of
shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar
event, (A) following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding
such consolidation, merger, combination or event either (1) no longer hold a
majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company or (2) no longer have the
ability to elect the board of directors of the Company or (B) as a result of
which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into (or the shares of Common
Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of
the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or
another entity. Sufficient
Trading Characteristics shall mean that the average daily dollar trading
volume of the common stock of such entity on its primary exchange or market is
equal to or in excess of $100,000 for the 90th through the 31st day prior to the
public announcement of such transaction. Permissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
where the Successor Entity (as defined below) (A) is a publicly traded Company
whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, (B)
has Sufficient Trading Characteristics (as defined above) and (C) meets the
Assumption Requirements (as required in Section 10(b) below). Eligible
Market means the over the counter Bulletin Board (OTC-BB),
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global
Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the American Stock Exchange. Impermissible
Change of Entity Transaction shall mean a Change of Entity Transaction
which does not qualify as a Permissible Change of Entity Transaction.
Major Transaction means
(i) an Impermissible Change of Entity Transaction;
and 18 (ii)
the sale or transfer of more than 40%, in the aggregate, of the properties or
assets of the Company to another Person or Persons in one or a series of related
transactions in any rolling 12 month period (an Asset Sale); and (iii)
a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the holders of more
than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (b)
Assumption Upon Change of Entity Transaction. The Company shall not,
so long as any portion of this Warrant remains outstanding, enter into or be
party to a Change of Entity Transaction unless any Person purchasing the Companys
assets or Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Change of
Entity Transaction (in each case, an Successor Entity), assumes
(an Assumption) in writing all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section
10(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the
Required Warrant Holders (as defined below) and approved by the Required Warrant
Holders prior to such Change of Entity Transaction, including agreements to
deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, having
an exercise price equal to the Exercise Price of this Warrant, having similar
exercise rights as this Warrant (including but not limited to similar exercise
price adjustment provisions), and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Warrant
Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor
Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the
date of such Change of Entity Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring
to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and
may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under the Warrant with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of
a Change of Entity Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder
confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise or redemption of the Warrant
at any time after the consummation of the Change of Entity Transaction, in lieu
of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property)
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Change of Entity Transaction,
such shares of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of
this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Change of Entity
Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of the Warrant. The requirements of this Section 10(b) are referred to herein
as the Assumption Requirements. For
purposes hereof, Required Warrant Holders shall mean the Holders of
greater than seventy five percent (75%) of the then outstanding Warrants
(determined by the number of unexercised underlying shares). (c)
Notice of Major Transaction; Redemption Right Upon Major
Transaction. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation
of a Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such
transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice 19 thereof to the Holder (a Major Transaction Notice),
which notice shall specify the nature and terms of the proposed transaction and
nature of the Successor Entity (if any). (d)
Redemption Right Upon Major Transaction. At any time during the period
beginning after the Holder's receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending on
the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction,
the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Holders
Warrant by delivering written notice thereof (Major Transaction Redemption
Notice) to the Company, which Major Transaction Redemption Notice shall
indicate the number of Warrant Shares of its Warrant (the Redemption Warrant
Amount) that the Holder is electing to be redeemed. The
portion of this Warrant subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10(d)
shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 100% of the greater
of (i) the Black Scholes value (as defined below) of the remaining outstanding
portion of the Warrant to be redeemed on the date the Major Transaction is
consummated calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model and (ii) the
Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant to be
redeemed on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Major
Transaction Redemption Price (as defined below) is paid to the Holder (the
greater of which is referred to as the Major Transaction Redemption
Price). For purposes hereof, the Black-Scholes value of a Warrant
shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting
(A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a
period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request
and (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day
volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg. (e)
Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Redemption Price. The Company shall
not effect a Major Transaction unless it shall first place, or shall cause the
Successor Entity to place, into an escrow account with an independent escrow
agent, prior to or concurrently with the closing date of the Major Transaction
(the Major Transaction Escrow Deadline), an amount equal to the Major
Transaction Redemption Price. Concurrently upon closing of any Major
Transaction, the Company shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the
Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder, which payment shall constitute
a Redemption Upon Major Transaction of the Warrants. (f)
Injunction. In the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major
Transaction without placing the Major Transaction Redemption Price in escrow in
accordance with subsection (e) above or without payment of the Major Transaction
Redemption Price to the Holder upon consummation of such Major Transaction, the
Buyer shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the
closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Redemption Price
is paid to the Holder, in full.
(g) Mechanics of Redemptions Upon
Major Transactions. Redemptions
required by this Section 10 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, until
the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full, the portion of the
Warrant 20 submitted for redemption under this Section may be converted,
in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event
the Exercise Date is after the consummation of a Major Transaction, into shares
of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to
Section 10(b). Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice
of Exercise, any amount of this Warrant exercised during the period from the
date of the Major Transaction Redemption Notice until the date the Major
Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full shall be considered to be an
exercise (instead of a Redemption) of a portion of the Warrant that would have
been subject to such Redemption, and any amounts of this Warrant exercised from
time to time during such period shall exercised in full into Common Stock at the
Exercise Price then in effect, and the number of shares of this Warrant so
exercised into Common Stock shall be deducted from the number of Warrants that
are subject to redemption hereunder. The parties hereto agree that in the event
of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Warrant under this Section
10(d), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because
of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty
of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the
Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 10 is
intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the
Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
11. Default and Redemption. (a)
Events of Default. Each of the following events which occur while any
Warrants are outstanding shall be considered to be an Event of
Default: (i)
Failure To File and Pursue Registration. An Event of Default
occurs under Section 10(c) of the Debentures, with respect to any Warrant Shares
(a Registration Default); (ii)
Failure To Authorize and Reserve Common Stock. A Share Authorization
Failure occurs under Section 7 hereof, and such Share Authorization Failure
remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days. (a Share
Reservation Default); (iii)
Failure To Deliver Common Stock. A Warrant Shares Delivery Failure (as
defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20)
days. (iv)
Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure occurs and remains
uncured for a period of twenty (20) days, where a Legend Removal
Failure shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to issue
Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section
2(g)(ii) hereof or under Section 6 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. (v)
Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. The Company has effected a Major
Transaction without paying the Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder
pursuant to Section 10(d) or, if the Holder did not elect a Redemption Upon
Major 21 Transaction, the Company has failed to meet the Assumption
Requirements of Section 10(b) prior to effecting a Major Transaction.
(vi)
Failure to Adjust Exercise Price; Failure to Comply With Dispute
Resolution Procedures. The Company shall have failed to comply in
good faith with the Dispute Resolution Procedures (as defined herein) or shall
have failed to adjust the Exercise Price as required under Section 5(e)
following a Dilutive Issuance, or otherwise (after any applicable Dispute
Resolution Procedure required herein), and such failure continues for ten (10)
Business Days after the Holder provides written notice to the Company that such
performance by the Company is past due.
(b) Mandatory Redemption; Certain
Adjustments on Default. (i)
Mandatory Redemption Amount. If any Events of Default shall occur
and any such Event of Default continues for an additional ten (10) Business Days
after the Holder provides written notice to the Company that an Event of Default
has occurred and specifying the factual basis therefor, then thereafter, unless
waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through
the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the Default
Notice), the outstanding amount of this Warrant shall be immediately
redeemed by the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder (a Mandatory
Redemption) an amount (the Mandatory Redemption Amount or the
Default Amount) equal to 100% of the greater of (i) the Black-Scholes
value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such
Default Notice and (2) the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that
the Mandatory Redemption Amount is paid to the Holder. The
Mandatory Redemption Amount shall be payable, in cash or cash equivalent, within
five (5) business days of the Date of the applicable Default Notice (the
Default Amount Due Date). If the Company fails to pay the Mandatory
Redemption Amount within thirty (30) days of the Default Amount Due Date, then
(A) the Exercise Price shall be permanently decreased (but not increased) on the
first Trading Day of each calendar month thereafter (each a Default
Adjustment Date) until the Default Amount is paid in full, to a price equal
to the lesser of (i) the Exercise Price then in effect, or (ii) the lowest
Market Price that has occurred on any Default Adjustment Date since the date
that the Event of Default began. Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Failure Payments and any other Required Cash Payments (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement) shall continue to accrue. On the date that is
five (5) Business Days after the Companys receipt of the Holders Default
Notice, the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder,
shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or
notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs,
including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the
Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at
law or in equity, and (B) . If the Company
fails to pay the Default Amount within the (10)Business Days of written notice
that such amount is due and payable (the Default Amount Due Date), 22 then interest shall accrue thereon at a rate of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum, compounded monthly (or the maximum amount allowed by
applicable law, whichever is less), and the Holder shall have the right at any
time, so long as the Company remains in default (and so long and to the extent
that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Company, upon
written notice (Default Exercise Notice) (which may be given one or
more times, from time to time anytime after the Default Amount Due Date), to
immediately issue (a Default Exercise), in lieu of all or any specified
portion (the Specified Portion) of the unpaid portion (the Unpaid
Portion) of the Default Amount, a number (the Default Share
Amount) of shares (the Default Shares) of Common Stock, subject to
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, equal to the Specified Portion of the
Default Amount divided by the Exercise Price in effect on the date such
shares are issued to the Holder, PROVIDED THAT, the Holder may require that such
payment of shares be made in one or more installments at such time and in such
amounts as Holder chooses. The Default shares are due within five (5) Business
Days of the date that the Holder delivers a Default Exercise Notice to the
Company (the Default Share Delivery Deadline). Upon a
Default Exercise, the Company shall be required to deliver a number of Common
Shares to the Holder equal to the applicable Default Share Amount (as described
above). If
the Company is unable to redeem all of the Warrants submitted for redemption,
the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number
of Warrants submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number
of Warrants submitted for redemption by all Holders. The
Holder shall not be entitled to receive Default Shares on a given date if and to
the extent that such issuance would cause the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
then in effect to be exceeded. If and to the extent that the issuance of Default
Shares with respect to a given Specified Portion would result in the a violation
of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then that particular Specified Portion
shall be automatically reduced to a value that would cause the number of Default
Shares to be issued to equal the Maximum Percentage, and the amount of such
reduction shall be added back to the Unpaid Portion of the Default Amount.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as liquidated damages or pursuant to
a Mandatory Redemption shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties.
The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to
be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate,
(ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or
grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the
Investor, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been
represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated
this Agreement at arms length. The
Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall
immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice,
all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including,
without limitation, 23 legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be
entitled to Exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity.
(c) Redemption by Other Holders.
Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any of the holders for redemption
or repayment of other Warrants that were issued pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement (the Other Warrants) as a result of an event or
occurrence of an Event of Default or a Major Transaction (each, an Other
Redemption Notice), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one
(1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile a
copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more
Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on
and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company's
receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date
which is three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's
Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all amounts designated in
such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such
seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount
from each holder of the Warrants (including the Holder) based on the number of
Warrants submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such
Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business
Day period. (d)
Posting of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder or
any Event of Default occurs under any of the Transaction Documents, the Company
may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or
otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder
or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any
violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a Surety
Bond) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate
Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holders Debentures and
Warrants (the Bond Amount), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect
until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment. For
purposes hereof, a Lawsuit shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other
dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of the
Transaction Documents. Surety
Bond Value, for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes
value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect) and Surety
Bond Value for the Debentures shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the
Debenture. (e)
Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default
referred to in subsection (d) above pertains to the Companys failure to deliver
unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise,
legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended
share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or
affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an
injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining
Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by
the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the 24 benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount (as
described above), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion
of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such
Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment. (f)
Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies
provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at
law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to
pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder could cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law
for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the
event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant could
seek, in addition to all other available remedies, an injunction restraining any
breach.
12. Holders Redemptions. (a)
Mechanics of Holders Redemptions. In the event that the Holder has
sent a Major Transaction Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section
10(d) or a Default Notice pursuant to Section 11(b)(i), respectively (each, a
Redemption Notice), the Holder shall promptly submit this Warrant to
the Company (if delivery of the original Warrant is required pursuant to Section
2(l). In the event of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding portion
of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to
the Holder a new Warrant representing the outstanding number of underlying
Warrant Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does
not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period
required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid
Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of
redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any
portion of this Warrant that was submitted for redemption and for which the
applicable Major Transaction Redemption Price (together with any late charges
thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company's receipt of such notice, (x) the
applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such
Redemption Share Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant,
or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant
that was submitted for redemption. The Holder's delivery of a notice voiding a
Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not
affect the Company's obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which
have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant
subject to such notice. (b)
Warrants Detachable. The Warrants constitute a separate, detachable
security from the Debentures. In the event of any redemption of the Debentures,
in whole or in part, by the Company, the Holder shall retain its outstanding
Warrants. 13.
Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies
provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at
law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder right
to pursue actual damages for any failure by 25 the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The

cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such
breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any
such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant could seek, in
addition to all other available remedies, an injunction restraining any breach.

the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue to
the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such
dispute in accordance with this subsection. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the
Companys Common Stock or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price,
Market Price or any Redemption Price, or the determination of whether or not a
Dilutive Issuance or a Milestone Failure has occurred, the Company shall submit
the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two
(2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Notice of Exercise or
Redemption Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may
be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such
determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed
determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the
Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (i) the
disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price
of the Companys Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank
selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise
Price, Market Price or any Redemption Price to the Companys independent,
outside accountant or (iii) the disputed facts regarding the occurrence of a
Dilutive Issuance or Milestone Failure (or any other matter referred to above

independent outside accountant pursuant to (i) or (ii) immediately above) to an
expert attorney from a nationally recognized outside law firm (having at least
50 attorneys and having with no prior relationship with the Company) selected by
the Company and approved by the Holder. The Company, at the Companys expense,
shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, law firm, or other expert, as
the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the
Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from
the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such
investment banks or accountants determination or calculation, as the case may
be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error (collectively,
the Dispute Resolution Procedures).

prepare, and, on or prior to the Initial Registration Filing Deadline (as
defined above) file with the Commission a Registration 4 Statement on Form S-1 (or, if Form S-1 is not then available,
on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a
registration of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the Buyer,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld)(the Initial Registration
Statement) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities which
Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that
such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional
shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or otherwise
pursuant to the Debenture and exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants
to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least a
three-fourths (3/4) majority in interest of the Holders) substantially the
Plan of Distribution attached hereto as Annex
A. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such
Registration Statement shall be no less than 150% of the aggregate number of
Conversion Shares that are then issuable upon conversion of the Debenture or
otherwise pursuant to the Debenture (based on the Conversion Price [as defined
in the Debenture] then in effect) and assuming that all interest that accrues
for the entire term of the Debentures is payable in Common Stock, plus the
aggregate number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of or
otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, without regard to any limitation on the
Buyer's ability to convert the Debenture or exercise the Warrants (collectively,
the Target Registration Amount). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company is advised by the staff of the Commission in a written comment letter or
otherwise that it is not eligible to conduct the offering of the Debentures
under Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act because of the number of shares
sought to be included in the Registration Statement, then, subject to any
applicable Registration Failure Liquidated Damages (as defined herein), the
Company may reduce (an SEC Share Reduction) the number of shares
covered by such Registration Statement to the maximum number which would enable
the Company to conduct such offering in accordance with the provisions of Rule
415 (Rule 415 Eligible)(subject to Registration Failure Liquidated
Damages, as defined below, if the Company reduces unilaterally the number of
shares covered by such Registration Statement to a number less than the Initial
Registration Minimum). In the event of an SEC Share Reduction, the number of
Registrable Securities registered shall be cut back pro rata (based upon the
relative number of Warrants held by each Holder), provided that (i) the
inclusion of the Series A Warrant Shares in such initial Registration Statement
shall take precedence over and shall not be cut back until the following
securities of the Company are cut back and removed from such Registration
Statement (in the following order): As necessary, (i) Series C Warrants shares
shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement first, and (ii)
Series B Warrants shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement
first and (iii) Series A Warrants shall be cut back and removed from the
Registration Statement third. In the event that, due to an SEC Share Reduction
or otherwise, any Registration Statement filed hereunder shall (when combined
with any previous Registration Statements that are current and effective)
register a number of shares of Common Stock which less than the Target
Registration Amount (a Target Registration Shortfall), then the unregistered
portion of the Target Registration Amount (the Target Registration Shortfall
Amount) shall be included in the next Additional Registration Statement (in
accordance with Section 3(b) below). The Company shall, as early as practicable on the Trading Day
after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus
with the Commission as required by Rule 424. The Company acknowledges that the
number of shares initially included in each Registration Statement 5 represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of
shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture or otherwise pursuant to the
Debenture and exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants and shall be
amended if not sufficient. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or
supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof)
shall be provided to (and subject to the approval of) the Buyer and its counsel
prior to its filing or other submission.
b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time prior to the
expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall
determine to file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to an
offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any
of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then
equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with
any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), the Company shall
send to Buyer written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15)
days after the effective date of such notice, the Buyer shall so request in
writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any
part of the Registrable Securities which are not then registered for resale
pursuant to a current and effective Registration Statement, and which the Buyer
requests to be registered, except that if, (i) inclusion of such shares would
result in the offering not being Rule 415 Eligible, or (ii) in connection with
any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the managing
underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in
such underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such
limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company
shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited
portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Buyer has
requested inclusion hereunder (i) as would enable the offering to be Rule 415
Eligible or (ii) as the underwriter shall permit;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not exclude any
Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding
securities, the holders of which are not entitled by contract to inclusion of
such securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata
inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that, after giving effect to the
immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be
made pro rata with holders of other securities having the contractual right to
include such securities in the Registration Statement other than holders of
securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such Registration
Statement by reason of demand registration rights. No right to registration of
Registrable Securities under this Section 2(b) shall be construed to limit any
registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection
with which the Buyer is entitled to registration under this Section 2(d) is an
underwritten offering, then the Buyer shall, unless otherwise agreed by the
Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering
using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock
included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein, the registration rights of the Buyer pursuant to this Section
2(b) shall only be available in the event the Company fails to timely file,
obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to
be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this 6 Agreement and shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect once the Company satisfies its obligations under this Agreement.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the
registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the following
obligations:
a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the Commission as soon as
practicable after the date of the Closing under the Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "CLOSING DATE") (but no later than the Filing Deadline),
Registration Statements with respect to the number of Registrable Securities
provided in Section 2(a), and thereafter use its best efforts to cause each such
Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as
soon as possible after such filing, but in any event shall cause each such
Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no
later than the Effectiveness Deadline, and shall keep the Registration Statement
current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is
the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities for such
Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) the date on which all of the
Registrable Securities for such Registration Statement (in the opinion of
counsel to the Buyer) may be immediately sold to the public without registration
or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder
thereof) under the 1933 Act (the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"), which Registration
Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses
contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration
Statements and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration
Statements as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statements current and
effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statements
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof as set forth in the Registration Statements. In the event of a Target
Registration Shortfall (the date of each of which is referred to as a
Registration Trigger Date), or in the event that on any Trading Day (as
defined in the Debenture) (each such Trading Day is also referred to as a
"Registration Trigger Date") the number of shares available under a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is otherwise
insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon
conversion of the Debenture or otherwise pursuant to the Debenture (based on the
Conversion Price [as defined in the Debenture] then in effect), exercise of or
otherwise pursuant to the Warrants (based on the Exercise Price [as defined in
the Warrants] then in effect), and otherwise issuable pursuant to the
Transaction Documents, in each case without giving effect to any limitations on
the Buyer' ability to convert the Debenture, exercise the Warrants or otherwise
receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the
Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration
Statement (on the short form available therefore, if applicable), or both (each,
an Additional Registration Statement), so as to cover at least 150% of
the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (based on the
Conversion Prices of the Debenture, the Exercise Prices of the Warrants, and
other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely, and
without giving effect to any limitations on 7 conversion contained in the Debenture, limitations on exercise
contained in the Warrants or limitations on conversion or exercise or other
payment of shares contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement) as of the
Registration Trigger Date (subject to an SEC Share Reduction, if applicable).
The Company shall prepare and file each Additional Registration Statement as
soon as practicable following any Registration Trigger Date, but not later than
the date that is sixty (60) days following the applicable Registration Trigger
Date (the Additional Registration Filing Deadline) provided that, if
Cutback Shares are required to be included in the Additional Registration
Statement, the Additional Registration Filing Deadline shall mean the
later of (i) the date that is sixty (60) days after the date substantially all
(as such term is then interpreted by the Commission) of the Registrable
Securities registered under the immediately preceding Registration Statement are
sold and (ii) the date that is six (6) months following the date of
effectiveness of the most recently effective Registration Statement or
Additional Registration Statement filed hereunder. The Company shall use its
best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event
the Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to
become effective within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Registration
Trigger Date (the Additional Registration Effectiveness Deadline) or as
promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its
authorized shares.
c. The Company shall furnish to the Buyer and its legal counsel (i) promptly
after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the Commission,
or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereto, and, in the case of the Registration Statement referred
to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the
Commission or the staff of the Commission, and each item of correspondence from
the Commission or the staff of the Commission, in each case relating to such
Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains
information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii)
such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and
all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as the Buyer may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by the Buyer. The Company will immediately notify the Buyer in
writing of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment. The Company will promptly respond to any and all
comments received from the Commission, with a view towards causing each
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the
Commission as soon as practicable and shall file an acceleration request as soon
as practicable, but no later than five (5) business days (the "Acceleration
Request Deadline") following the resolution or clearance of all Commission
comments or, if applicable, following notification by the Commission that any
such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to
review.
d. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
Buyer shall reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other
actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations 8 and qualifications in effect at all times during the
Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or
advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions;
e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company
shall notify the Buyer of the happening of any event, of which the Company has
knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to
prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such
untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such
supplement or amendment to the Buyer as the Buyer may reasonably request;
provided that, for not more than twenty (20) consecutive days (or a total of not
more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period), the Company may
delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company
(as well as prospectus or Registration Statement updating) the disclosure of
which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best
interests of the Company (an "Allowed Delay"); provided, further, that
the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Buyer in writing of the existence of
(but in no event, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, shall the
Company disclose to the Buyer any of the facts or circumstances regarding)
material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay and (ii) advise
the Buyer in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until
the end of the Allowed Delay, provided the above actions are consistent with the
requirements of the 1933 Act and/or 1934 Act or other applicable law. Upon
expiration of the Allowed Delay, the Company shall again be bound by the first
sentence of this Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise
thereto. Nothing herein relieves the obligations set forth in the Debenture or
the Warrants relative to Registration Failure Liquidated Damages or
payments of the Default Amount pursuant to Events of Default.
f. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop
order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and,
if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the
earliest possible moment and to notify the Buyer who holds Registrable
Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the
managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.
g. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Buyer to
review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto
(as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), at Buyers
own cost, a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the Commission
(not less than three (3) business days but not more than ten (10) business days)
and not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects and
will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior
notice to such counsel.
h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of
information concerning the Buyer provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure
of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities
laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of
such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court
or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has
been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in
violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it 9 shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information
concerning the Buyer is sought in or by a court or governmental body of
competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Buyer
prior to making such disclosure, and allow the Buyer, at its expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective
order for, such information.
i. If the Company becomes eligible for listing on a national securities
exchange, the Company shall use its best efforts to (i) cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on
each national securities exchange on which securities of the same class or
series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such
Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or
(ii) to the extent the securities of the same class or series are not then
listed on a national securities exchange, secure the designation and quotation,
of all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the
Nasdaq Global Select Market or, if not eligible for the or the Nasdaq Global
Select Market on the Nasdaq Global Market or, if not eligible for the Nasdaq
Global Market, on the Over the Counter electronic bulletin board and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market
makers to register with FINRA as such with respect to such Registrable
Securities.
j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a
single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date
of the Registration Statement.
k. The Company shall cooperate with the Buyer who holds Registrable Securities
being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any
restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant
to such Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, or the Buyer may reasonably request and registered in such
names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Buyer may
request, and, within five (5) business days after a Registration Statement which
includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to
deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to
the Buyer) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form
required by the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free
of restrictive legends.
l. At the request of the holders of a three-fourths (3/4) majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements
to a Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of
distribution set forth in such Registration Statement, provided that if such
change is not legally necessary in order for the Buyers to timely sell their
Registrable Securities, the Company shall not be required to effect such
amendments if they will impose any additional requirements, including costs, on
the Company.
m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and
facilitate disposition by the Buyer of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement. 10
n. The Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration
Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and
regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including
without limitation the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission).
o. Further Registration Statements. Except for a registration statement
filed on behalf of the Buyer pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 of this
Agreement, and except for an underwritten public offering, the Company will not
file any registration statements or amend (in such a manner as to increase the
number of shares registered) any already filed registration statement with the
Commission or with state regulatory authorities without the consent of the Buyer
until the expiration of the "Exclusion Period," which shall be defined as
the sooner of (i) the date that the Registration Statement shall have been
current and available for use in connection with the resale of the Registrable
Securities for a period of 180 days, or (ii) until all the Shares and Warrant
Shares have been resold or transferred by the Subscribers pursuant to the
Registration Statement or are eligible for immediate unrestricted resale
pursuant to Rule 144, without volume limitations. The Exclusion Period will be
tolled during the pendency of an Event of Default as defined in the Debenture or
an Event of Default as defined in the Warrants.
p. NASD Rule 2710 Filing; Broker Compensation. The Company shall effect a
filing with respect to the public offering contemplated by the Registration
Statement (an Issuer Filing) with FINRA pursuant to NASD Rule
2710within one Trading Day of the date that the Registration Statement is first
filed with the Commission and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing.
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the Issuer
Filing until the NASD issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the
terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.
q. NO PIGGYBACK ON REGISTRATIONS. Except for legally required amendments
or supplements to the existing registration statement specified in Schedule
3(dd) to the Securities Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of
its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto)
may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement (including but
not limited to any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any
amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof) other than the
Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not during the Effectiveness
Period enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security
holders. In addition, the Company shall not offer any securities for its own
account or the account of others in any Registration Statement under Section
2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof
without the consent of the holders of a three-fourths (3/4) majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities.
4. REGISTRATION FAILURE. If:
(i) in the aggregate among all Holders on a pro-rata basis based on their
purchase of the Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, a
Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Initial Registration
Minimum is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness
Deadline of the Initial Registration, or 11 (ii)
the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the
Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section
3(g) herein, or (iii)
the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a
Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the
Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the
Commission that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not
be subject to further review, or (iv)
prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to
file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made
by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 10 Trading
Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such
amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared
effective, or (v)
after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration
Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders
are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such
Registrable Securities, for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than
an aggregate of 15 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days)
during any 12-month period, or (vi)
any Additional Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder is not
filed by the applicable Additional Registration Filing Deadline or it is not
declared effective by the applicable Additional Registration Effectiveness
Deadline (any such failure or breach being referred to as a Registration
Failure, and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii), the date on which such
Registration Failure occurs, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date on which
such five Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iv) the
date which such 10 calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause
(v) the date on which such 10 or 15 calendar day period, as applicable, is
exceeded being referred to as a Registration Failure Date), then, in
addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable
law, on each such Registration Failure Date and on each monthly anniversary of
each such Registration Failure Date (if the applicable Registration Failure
shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Registration
Failure is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount
(Registration Failure Liquidated Damages) in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid
by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any unregistered
Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. The parties agree that (1) the
Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement with
respect to any Warrants or Warrant Shares, provided that such Warrants are
exerciseable in a cashless exercise and the underlying Warrant Shares are
eligible for sale under Rule 144 following a cashless exercise, and (2) no
Registration Failure Liquidated Damages shall accrue with respect to the
Debentures during any time that the underlying Conversion Shares are eligible
for sale under Rule 144. (vii)
Notwithstanding (i) (vi) above, the Company shall not be liable for
Registration Failure Liquidated Damages if (1) the Company makes all filings as
and when required by this Agreement, (2) the Company responds to any comments
from the SEC regarding a 12 Registration Statement within ten (10) days of the date of
receipt of such comments, and (3) uses its best efforts to have the subject
Registration Statement declared effective for the number of shares required
hereunder as quickly as reasonably possible. Registration Failure Liquidated
Damages shall be due and payable by the fifth (5th) day of the
calendar month in which they accrue. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated
damages pursuant to this Section in full within five (5) days after the date
payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or
such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to
the Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until
such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The liquidated
damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for
any portion of a month prior to the cure of a Registration Failure.
5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER. In connection with the
registration of the Registrable Securities, the Buyer shall have the following
obligations:
a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to
complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
Registrable Securities of the Buyer that the Buyer shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall
be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the
Company may reasonably request. At least three (3) business days prior to the
first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall
notify the Buyer of the information the Company requires from each Buyer.
b. The Buyer, by the Buyer's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection
with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statements hereunder, unless
the Buyer has notified the Company in writing of the Buyer's election to exclude
all of the Buyer's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statements.
c. In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which
any Registrable Securities are to be included, the Buyer agrees to enter into
and perform the Buyer's obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and
contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and
take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless the Buyer has
notified the Company in writing of the Buyer's election to exclude all of the
Buyer's Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
d. The Buyer agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), the Buyer
will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the
Buyer's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by the Company, the
Buyer shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy
(and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the
Buyer's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice. 13
e. No Buyer may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless
the Buyer (i) agrees to sell the Buyer's Registrable Securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form entered
into by the Company, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to
pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and any
expenses in excess of those payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5 below.
f. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the
form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a Selling Shareholder
Questionnaire) by the end of the third (3rd) Trading Day
following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance
with this Section.
6. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other
than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3,
including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees,
printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company shall be borne by the Company.
7. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
a. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and
defend (i) the Buyer, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members,
employees, agents and each person who controls any Buyer within the meaning of
the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for the
Buyer in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each person
who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act, if any (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any joint or several
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with
actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory
organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof,
"Claims") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims
arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the
Commission) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material
fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the
1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities
law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the
Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii)
being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall reimburse the
Indemnified Person, promptly as such 14 expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 7(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person or
underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the
preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (iii) with
respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any
Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact
contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, such corrected prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, and the
Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect
prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified
Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Buyer pursuant to Section 10.
b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of
notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action),
such Indemnified Person shall, if Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of
the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate
in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified
Person, as the case may be.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an Indemnified Person shall have the
right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Company, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the
Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by Buyer and shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Company, if the Buyer is entitled to
indemnification hereunder. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this
Section 6, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its
ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 7
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred and is due and payable.
c. To the extent permitted by law, but in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
Buyers Subscription Amount (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
the Buyer will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the
directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, or agents of the
Company, if any (each, a "Company Indemnified Person"), against any joint
or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively,
together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or
self-regulatory organization, whether 15 commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, "Claims")
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or
are based upon a Claim arising out of or based upon any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities, which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration
Statement of false or misleading information about the Buyer, where such
information was furnished in writing to the Company by the Buyer for the purpose
of inclusion in such Registration Statement.
8. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by the
Company is prohibited or limited by law, the Company agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law, based upon a comparative
fault standard.
9. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT. With a view to making available
to the Buyer the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any
other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit
the Buyer to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration
("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and
defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the
Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing
herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish to the Buyer so long as the Buyer owns Registrable Securities,
promptly upon written request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it
has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the
1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyers to
sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
10. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights under this
Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Buyers to any transferee of
all or any portion of Registrable Securities if: (i) the Buyer agrees in writing
with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such
agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such
assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or
assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such
transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such
transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state
securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written
notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee
agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions 16 contained herein, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase
Agreement. In the event that the Buyer transfers all or any portion of its
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have at least
ten (10) days to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep the
Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415, and the
commencement date of any Event of Default under the Debenture or the Warrants
caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days.

Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with written consent of the Company, and Buyers who hold a
three-fourths (3/4) majority interest of the Registrable Securities. Any

be made by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by Buyers holding
a three-fourths (3/4) majority of the Registrable Securities, determined as if
the all of the Debenture and Warrants then outstanding have been converted or
exercised into for Registrable Securities.
k. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder
could cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the intent and purpose of
the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that
the remedy at law for breach of its obligations hereunder could be inadequate
and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any
of the provisions hereunder, that the Buyer could be entitled, in addition to
all other available remedies in law or in equity, to seek an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and
to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
l. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen
by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
m. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable
under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which
may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
n. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration
Statement and each increase to the number of Registrable Securities included
therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Buyers based on the number of
Registrable Securities held by the Buyer at the time of such establishment or
increase, as the case may be. In the event a Buyer shall sell or otherwise
transfer any of such holder's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be
allocated a pro rata portion of the number of Registrable Securities included in
a Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock
included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any person or
entity which does not hold any Registrable Securities shall be allocated to the
remaining Buyers, pro rata based on the number of shares of Registrable
Securities then held by the Buyers. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of
Registrable Securities held by a Buyer shall be determined as if all the
Debenture and Warrants then outstanding and held by a Buyer were converted into
or exercised for Registrable Securities, without regard to any limitation on the
Buyer's ability to convert the Debenture or exercise the Warrants. 19
o. There shall be no oral modifications or amendments to this Agreement. This
Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing. [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Buyer and the Company have caused this
Agreement to be duly executed as of the 13th day of June, 2008. 20 SCHEDULE OF BUYERS 21 Annex A Plan of Distribution Each Selling Stockholder (the Selling Stockholders) of the
common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest
may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the
OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling
shares: The
Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), if available, rather than under
this prospectus. Broker
dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers
dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or
discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent
for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated,
but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an
agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a
markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440. In
connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling
Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling
Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of 22 shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the
Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no
event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in
the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%). The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company
incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Because
Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities
covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.
There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the
proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders. We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on
which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration
and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares
have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state
securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be
sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is
available and is complied with. Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in
the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted
period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other
person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling
Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this
prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act). 23 Annex B The undersigned beneficial owner of common stock (the
Registrable Securities) of ICP SOLAR TECHNOLIGES, INC., a Nevada
corporation (the Company), understands that the Company has filed or intends

contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others,

applicable law of any state or states which has jurisdiction with respect to
all, or any portion of, the Collateral or this Agreement, from time to time. It
is the intent of the parties that defined terms in the UCC should be construed
in their broadest sense so that the term Collateral will be construed in its
broadest sense. Accordingly if there are, from time to time, changes to defined
terms in the UCC that broaden the definitions, they are incorporated herein and
if existing definitions in the UCC are broader than the amended definitions, the
existing ones shall be controlling. 2. Grant
of Security Interest in Collateral. As an inducement for the Secured
Parties to extend the loans as evidenced by the Debentures and to secure the
complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in full, as the case may
be, of all of the Obligations, each Debtor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably pledges, grants and hypothecates to the Secured Parties a security
interest in and to, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of their

Interests). 3. Delivery

Collateral, in each case, together with all Necessary Endorsements. The Debtors
are, contemporaneously with the execution hereof, delivering to Agent, or have
previously 5 delivered to Agent, a true and correct copy of each
Organizational Document governing any of the Pledged Securities. (b) Within

or cause to be delivered to the Agent Deeds of Trust (or, as applicable, Amended
Deeds of Trust) granting the Secured Parties a lien on the Real Property of the
Debtors, and shall cause such Deeds of Trust (or Amended Deeds of Trust, as
applicable) to be recorded in the public real estate records in the state and
county where such Real Property is located. 4. Representations,
Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the Debtors. Except as set forth
under the corresponding section of the disclosure schedules delivered to the
Secured Parties concurrently herewith (the Disclosure Schedules), which
Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof, each Debtor represents and
warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Parties as follows: (a)
Each Debtor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company
or other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each
Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Debtor and no further
action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has been duly executed by each
Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Debtor, enforceable against each Debtor in accordance with its terms except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity.
(b) The Debtors have no place of business or
offices where their respective books of account and records are kept (other than
temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where
Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A
attached hereto. Except as specifically set forth on Schedule A, each
Debtor is the record owner of the real property where such Collateral is
located, and there exist no mortgages or other liens on any such real property
except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Debentures). Except as disclosed
on Schedule A, none of such Collateral is in the possession of any
consignee, bailee, warehouseman, agent or processor. (c) Except
for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Debentures) and except as set forth on
Schedule B attached hereto, the Debtors are the sole owner of the
Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by any Debtor in the
ordinary course of business, consistent with prior practice), free and clear of
any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully
authorized to grant the Security Interests. Except as set forth on Schedule
B attached hereto, there is not on file in any governmental or regulatory
authority, agency or 6 recording office an effective financing
statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the
foregoing (other than those that will be filed in favor of the Secured Parties
pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. Except
as set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and except pursuant to this
Agreement, as long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Debtors shall not
execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or
agency any other financing statement or other document or instrument (except to
the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement). (d) No
written claim has been received that any Collateral or Debtor's use of any
Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse
decision to any Debtor's claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use
the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to any Debtor's right to keep and maintain
such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving
said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of any Debtor, threatened before
any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or
other governmental authority. (e) Each
Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to
the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the
locations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and may not relocate
such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to
the Secured Parties at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written notice
of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United
States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements under the UCC
and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have
been taken to perfect the Security Interests to create in favor of the Secured
Parties a valid, perfected and continuing perfected first priority lien in the
Collateral. (f) This
Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Parties a valid security interest in
the Collateral, securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon
making the filings described in the immediately following paragraph, all
security interests created hereunder in any Collateral which may be perfected by
filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements shall have been duly
perfected. Except for the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements referred to in the immediately following paragraph, the recordation
of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (as defined below) with respect
to copyrights and copyright applications in the United States Copyright Office
referred to in paragraph (oo), the execution and delivery of deposit account
control agreements satisfying the requirements of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC
with respect to each deposit account of the Debtors, and the delivery of the
certificates and other instruments provided in Section 3, no action is necessary
to create, perfect or protect the security interests created hereunder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the filing of said 7 financing statements, the recordation
of said Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and the execution and delivery
of said deposit account control agreements, no consent of any third parties and
no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with,
any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the creation or perfection of
the Security Interests created hereunder in the Collateral or (iii) the
enforcement of the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder.
(g) Each Debtor irrevocably and
unconditionally authorizes Agent (or its agent) to prepare and file at any time
and from time to time one or more financing statements under the UCC, with
respect to the Secured Parties security interest in the Collateral, with the
proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by it,
naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and such U.S. Obligor as
debtor, as Agent may require, and including any other information with respect
to such Debtors or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of such
jurisdiction as Agent may determine, together with any amendment and
continuations with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any financing
statement that describes the Collateral as all personal property or all
assets of such Debtor or that describes the Collateral in some other manner as
Agent reasonably deems necessary. Each Debtor hereby ratifies and approves all
financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such
Debtor, as the case may be, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any
amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of
Agent prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Agent to file such
financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Debtor hereby authorizes
Agent to adopt on behalf of such U.S. Obligor any symbol required for
authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the
collateral in any financing statement naming Agent or its designee as the
secured party and any Debtor as debtor includes assets and properties of such
Debtor that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under
any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall
nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Debtor to the extent of the Collateral
included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement
ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing
statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Debtor
at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or
termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or
continuation with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party
and such Debtor as debtor until the Obligations have been paid in full.
(h) The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement by the Debtors does not (i) violate any of the provisions of
any Organizational Documents of any Debtor or any judgment, decree, order or
award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator or any applicable law, rule
or regulation 8 applicable to any Debtor or (ii)
conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of
time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice,
lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing any Debtor's debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which any Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of any Debtor is
bound or affected. If any, all required consents (including, without limitation,
from stockholders or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter
into and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.
(i) The capital stock and other equity
interests listed on Schedule H hereto (the Pledged Securities)
represent all of the capital stock and other equity interests of the Guarantors,
and represent all capital stock and other equity interests owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company. All of the Pledged Securities are validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is the legal and beneficial owner
of the Pledged Securities, free and clear of any lien, security interest or
other encumbrance except for the security interests created by this Agreement
and other Permitted Liens (as defined in the Debentures). (j) The
ownership and other equity interests in partnerships and limited liability
companies (if any) included in the Collateral (the Pledged
Interests) by their express terms do not provide that they are
securities governed by Article 8 of the UCC and are not held in a securities
account or by any financial intermediary. (k) Except
for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Debentures), each Debtor shall at all
times maintain the liens and Security Interests provided for hereunder as valid
and perfected first priority liens and security interests in the Collateral in
favor of the Secured Parties until this Agreement and the Security Interest
hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof. Each Debtor hereby
agrees to defend the same against the claims of any and all persons and
entities. Each Debtor shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account
of the Secured Parties. At the request of the Agent, each Debtor will sign and
deliver to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at any time or from time
to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public
offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Agent to be, necessary or
desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall pay all fees, taxes
and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security
Interests hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain and furnish to the Agent from
time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and
liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interests
hereunder. (l) No
Debtor will transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive 9 licenses granted by a Debtor in its
ordinary course of business, consistent with prior practice, and sales of
inventory by a Debtor in its ordinary course of business) without the prior
written consent of the Required Holders. (m)
Each Debtor shall keep and preserve its equipment, inventory and other tangible
Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate
any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any area excluded
from insurance coverage. (n) Each
Debtor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance
with respect to the Collateral, including Collateral hereafter acquired, against
loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against by
entities of established reputation having similar properties similarly situated
and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by
other such entities and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in similar
businesses but in any event sufficient to cover the full replacement cost
thereof. Each Debtor shall cause each insurance policy issued in connection
herewith to provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify to the
Agent, that (a) the Agent will be named as lender loss payee and additional
insured under each such insurance policy; (b) if such insurance be proposed to
be cancelled or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will
promptly notify the Agent and such cancellation or change shall not be effective
as to the Agent for at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Agent of such
notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase coverage under
the policy; and (c) the Agent will have the right (but no obligation) at its
election to remedy any default in the payment of premiums within thirty (30)
days of notice from the insurer of such default. If no Event of Default (as
defined in the Debentures) exists and if the proceeds arising out of any claim
or series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments in each
instance will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the repair and/or
replacement of property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the
extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof
remaining, to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable
Debtor; provided, however, that payments received by any Debtor
after an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $100,000 for
any occurrence or series of related occurrences shall be paid to the Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties and, if received by such Debtor, shall be held in
trust for the Secured Parties and immediately paid over to the Agent unless
otherwise directed in writing by the Agent. Copies of such policies or the
related certificates, in each case, naming the Agent as lender loss payee and
additional insured shall be delivered to the Agent at least annually and at the
time any new policy of insurance is issued. (o) Each
Debtor shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the
Secured Parties promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change
in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would 10 have a material adverse effect on the
value of the Collateral or on the Secured Parties security interest, through
the Agent, therein.
(p) Each Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver
to the Agent such further deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements,
financing statements or other instruments, documents, certificates and
assurances and take such further action as the Agent may from time to time
request and may in its sole discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or
enforce the Secured Parties security interest in the Collateral including,
without limitation, if applicable, the execution and delivery of a separate
security agreement with respect to each Debtors Intellectual Property
(Intellectual Property Security Agreement) in which the Secured Parties
have been granted a security interest hereunder, substantially in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Agent, which Intellectual Property Security
Agreement, other than as stated therein, shall be subject to all of the terms
and conditions hereof. (q) Each
Debtor shall permit the Agent and its representatives and agents to inspect the
Collateral during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, and to
make copies of records pertaining to the Collateral as may be reasonably
requested by the Agent from time to time. (r)
Each Debtor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and
seek to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and
accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral. (s) Each
Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Parties in sufficient detail upon
becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process
levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by such
Debtor that may materially affect the value of the Collateral, the Security
Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder. (t) All
information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Parties by
or on behalf of any Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and
complete in all material respects as of the date furnished. (u) The
Debtors shall at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their
respective valid existence and good standing and any rights and franchises
material to its business. (v) No
Debtor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization,
organizational identification number (if it has one), legal or corporate
structure, or identity, or add any new fictitious name unless it provides at
least 30 days prior written notice to the Secured Parties of such change and, at
the time of such written notification, such Debtor provides any financing
statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue the perfection
of the Security Interests granted and evidenced by this Agreement. 11 (w) Except
in the ordinary course of business, consistent with prior practice, no Debtor
may consign any of its inventory or sell any of its inventory on bill and hold,
sale or return, sale on approval, or other conditional terms of sale without the
consent of the Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. (x)
No Debtor may relocate its chief executive office to a new location without
providing 30 days prior written notification thereof to the Secured Parties and
so long as, at the time of such written notification, such Debtor provides any
financing statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue the
perfection of the Security Interests granted and evidenced by this Agreement.
(y) Each Debtor was organized and remains
organized solely under the laws of the state set forth next to such Debtors
name in Schedule D attached hereto, which Schedule D sets forth
each Debtors organizational identification number or, if any Debtor does not
have one, states that one does not exist. (z)
(i) The actual name of each Debtor is the name set forth in Schedule D
attached hereto; (ii) no Debtor has any trade names except as set forth on
Schedule E attached hereto; (iii) no Debtor has used any name other than
that stated in the preamble hereto or as set forth on Schedule E for the
preceding five years; and (iv) no entity has merged into any Debtor or been
acquired by any Debtor within the past five years except as set forth on
Schedule E. (aa) At
any time and from time to time that any Collateral consists of instruments,
certificated securities or other items that require or permit possession by the
secured party to perfect the security interest created hereby, the applicable
Debtor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent. (bb) Each
Debtor, in its capacity as issuer, hereby agrees to comply with any and all
orders and instructions of Agent regarding the Pledged Interests consistent with
the terms of this Agreement without the further consent of any Debtor as
contemplated by Section 8-106 (or any successor section) of the UCC. Further,
each Debtor agrees that it shall not enter into a similar agreement (or one that
would confer control within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC) with any
other person or entity. (cc)
Each Debtor shall cause all tangible chattel paper constituting Collateral to be
delivered to the Agent, or, if such delivery is not possible, then to cause such
tangible chattel paper to contain a legend noting that it is subject to the
security interest created by this Agreement. To the extent that any Collateral
consists of electronic chattel paper, the applicable Debtor shall cause the
underlying chattel paper to be marked within the meaning of Section 9-105 of
the UCC (or successor section thereto). (dd) If
there is any investment property or deposit account included as Collateral that
can be perfected by control through an account control 12 agreement, the applicable Debtor shall
cause such an account control agreement, in form and substance in each case
satisfactory to the Agent, to be entered into and delivered to the Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties. (ee) To
the extent that any Collateral consists of letter-of-credit rights, the
applicable Debtor shall cause the issuer of each underlying letter of credit to
consent to an assignment of the proceeds thereof to the Secured Parties. (ff) To
the extent that any Collateral is in the possession of any third party, the
applicable Debtor shall join with the Agent in notifying such third party of the
Secured Parties security interest in such Collateral and shall use its best
efforts to obtain an acknowledgement and agreement from such third party with
respect to the Collateral, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Agent. (gg)
If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, such
Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Parties in a writing signed by such
Debtor of the particulars thereof and grant to the Secured Parties in such
writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the
terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent. (hh) Each
Debtor shall immediately provide written notice to the Secured Parties of any
and all accounts which arise out of contracts with any governmental authority
and, to the extent necessary to perfect or continue the perfected status of the
Security Interests in such accounts and proceeds thereof, shall execute and
deliver to the Agent an assignment of claims for such accounts and cooperate
with the Agent in taking any other steps required, in its judgment, under the
Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar federal, state or local statute
or rule to perfect or continue the perfected status of the Security Interests in
such accounts and proceeds thereof.
(ii) Each Debtor shall cause each subsidiary
of such Debtor to immediately become a party hereto (an Additional
Debtor), by executing and delivering an Additional Debtor Joinder in
substantially the form of Annex A attached hereto and comply with the
provisions hereof applicable to the Debtors. Concurrent therewith, the
Additional Debtor shall deliver replacement schedules for, or supplements to all
other Schedules to (or referred to in) this Agreement, as applicable, which
replacement schedules shall supersede, or supplements shall modify, the
Schedules then in effect. The Additional Debtor shall also deliver such opinions
of counsel, authorizing resolutions, good standing certificates, incumbency
certificates, organizational documents, financing statements and other
information and documentation as the Agent may reasonably request. Upon delivery
of the foregoing to the Agent, the Additional Debtor shall be and become a party
to this Agreement with the same rights and obligations as the Debtors, for all
purposes hereof as fully and to the same extent as if it were an original 13 signatory hereto and shall be deemed to
have made the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein as of
the date of execution and delivery of such Additional Debtor Joinder, and all
references herein to the Debtors shall be deemed to include each Additional
Debtor. (jj) Each
Debtor shall vote the Pledged Securities to comply with the covenants and
agreements set forth herein and in the Debentures. (kk) Each
Debtor shall register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities on the
books of such Debtor. Each Debtor shall notify each issuer of Pledged Securities
to register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities in the name of the
Secured Parties on the books of such issuer. Further, except with respect to
certificated securities delivered to the Agent, the applicable Debtor shall
deliver to Agent an acknowledgement of pledge (which, where appropriate, shall
comply with the requirements of the relevant UCC with respect to perfection by
registration) signed by the issuer of the applicable Pledged Securities, which
acknowledgement shall confirm that: (a) it has registered the pledge on its
books and records; and (b) at any time directed by Agent during the continuation
of an Event of Default, such issuer will transfer the record ownership of such
Pledged Securities into the name of any designee of Agent, will take such steps
as may be necessary to effect the transfer, and will comply with all other
instructions of Agent regarding such Pledged Securities without the further
consent of the applicable Debtor. (ll) In
the event that, upon an occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall sell all
or any of the Pledged Securities to another party or parties (herein called the
Transferee) or shall purchase or retain all or any of the Pledged
Securities, each Debtor shall, to the extent applicable: (i) deliver to Agent or
the Transferee, as the case may be, the articles of incorporation, bylaws,
minute books, stock certificate books, corporate seals, deeds, leases,
indentures, agreements, evidences of indebtedness, books of account, financial
records and all other Organizational Documents and records of the Debtors and
their direct and indirect subsidiaries; (ii) use its best efforts to obtain
resignations of the persons then serving as officers and directors of the
Debtors and their direct and indirect subsidiaries, if so requested; and (iii)
use its best efforts to obtain any approvals that are required by any
governmental or regulatory body in order to permit the sale of the Pledged
Securities to the Transferee or the purchase or retention of the Pledged
Securities by Agent and allow the Transferee or Agent to continue the business
of the Debtors and their direct and indirect subsidiaries. (mm) Without
limiting the generality of the other obligations of the Debtors hereunder, each
Debtor shall promptly (i) cause to be registered at the United States Copyright
Office all of its material copyrights, (ii) cause the security interest
contemplated hereby with respect to all Intellectual Property registered at the
United States Copyright Office or United States Patent and Trademark Office to
be duly recorded at the applicable office, and (iii) give the Agent notice
whenever it acquires (whether absolutely or by license) or creates 14 any additional material Intellectual
Property. The Company shall make all required filings and shall take all other
action necessary to fully perfect the Secured Parties security interest in any
issued or pending patents or trademarks in both (i) the United States and (ii)
any other country where such patent or trademark is issued or pending, in each
case within thirty (30) days of the date hereof (or, in the case of patents or
trademarks issued in the future, within thirty (30) days of the date of such
future issuance).
(nn) Each Debtor will from time to time, at
the joint and several expense of the Debtors, promptly execute and deliver all
such further instruments and documents, and take all such further action as may
be necessary or desirable, or as the Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby or to enable the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and
remedies hereunder and with respect to any Collateral or to otherwise carry out
the purposes of this Agreement. (oo) Schedule
F attached hereto lists all of the patents, patent applications, trademarks,
trademark applications, registered copyrights, copyright applications and domain
names owned by any of the Debtors as of the date hereof. Schedule F lists
all material licenses in favor of any Debtor for the use of any patents,
trademarks, copyrights and domain names as of the date hereof. All material
patents and trademarks of the Debtors have been duly recorded at the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and all material copyrights of the Debtors
have been duly recorded at the United States Copyright Office. (pp)
Except as set forth on Schedule G attached hereto, none of the account
debtors or other persons or entities obligated on any of the Collateral is a
governmental authority covered by the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any
similar federal, state or local statute or rule in respect of such Collateral.
(qq) The
Company will file, or will permit the Secured Parties, or the Agent on behalf of
the Secured Parties, to file, a claim of lien in the public real estate records
of the state and county where any Real Property of the Debtors is located, in
order to perfect the Secured Parties liens on the Real Property. 5. Effect
of Pledge on Certain Rights. If any of the Collateral subject to this
Agreement consists of nonvoting equity or ownership interests (regardless of
class, designation, preference or rights) that may be converted into voting
equity or ownership interests upon the occurrence of certain events (including,
without limitation, upon the transfer of all or any of the other stock or assets
of the issuer), it is agreed that the pledge of such equity or ownership
interests pursuant to this Agreement or the enforcement of any of Agents rights
hereunder shall not be deemed to be the type of event which would trigger such
conversion rights notwithstanding any provisions in the Organizational Documents
or agreements to which any Debtor is subject or to which any Debtor is party.
15 6. Defaults.
The following events shall be Events of Default: (a) The
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Debentures) under the
Debentures; (b) Any
representation or warranty of any Debtor in this Agreement shall prove to have
been incorrect in any material respect when made; (c) The
failure by any Debtor to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder for
five (5) days after delivery to such Debtor of notice of such failure by or on
behalf of a Secured Party unless such default is capable of cure but cannot be
cured within such time frame and such Debtor is using best efforts to cure same
in a timely fashion; or (d)
If any provision of this Agreement shall at any time for any reason be declared
to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be
contested by any Debtor, or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Debtor, or by
any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Debtor, seeking to
establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Debtor shall deny
that any Debtor has any liability or obligation purported to be created under
this Agreement. 7. Duty
To Hold In Trust. (a) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, each Debtor
shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income, dividend, interest or other sums
subject to the Security Interests, whether payable pursuant to the Debentures or
otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument
evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the
Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or
instruments, or both, to the Secured Parties, pro-rata in proportion to their
respective then-currently outstanding principal amount of Debentures for
application to the satisfaction of the Obligations (and if any Debenture is not
outstanding, pro-rata in proportion to the initial purchases of the remaining
Debentures). (b)
If any Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any securities
or other property (including, without limitation, shares of Pledged Securities
or instruments representing Pledged Securities acquired after the date hereof,
or any options, warrants, rights or other similar property or certificates
representing a dividend, or any distribution in connection with any
recapitalization, reclassification or increase or reduction of capital, or
issued in connection with any reorganization of such Debtor or any of its direct
or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of the Pledged Securities (whether as an
addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Securities or
otherwise), such Debtor agrees to (i) accept the same as the agent of the
Secured Parties; (ii) hold 16

the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and (iii) to deliver any and all certificates or instruments evidencing the same to Agent on or before the close of business on the fifth business day following the receipt thereof by such Debtor, in the exact form received together with the Necessary Endorsements, to be held by Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement as Collateral.
8. Rights and Remedies Upon Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Parties, acting on each of their own behalf or through the Agent, shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Debentures, and the Secured Parties shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limitation, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have the following rights and powers:
(i) The Agent shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and each Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Debtor's premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Agent, without rent, all of such Debtors respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Agent taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.
(ii) Upon notice to the Debtors by Agent, all rights of each Debtor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise and all rights of each Debtor to receive the dividends and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain, shall cease. Upon such notice, Agent shall have the right to receive, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any interest, cash dividends or other payments on the Collateral and, at the option of Agent, to exercise in such Agents discretion all voting rights pertaining thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange, at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or any Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
(iii) The Agent shall have the right to operate the business of each Debtor using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public
17
or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to any Debtor or right of redemption of a Debtor, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of any Debtor, which are hereby waived and released.
(iv) The Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments directly to the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and to enforce the Debtors rights against such account debtors and obligors.
(v) The Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may (but is not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary or any other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer the same to the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or its designee.
(vi) The Agent may (but is not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual Property registered in the name of any Debtor at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Parties or any designee or any purchaser of any Collateral.
(b) The Agent shall comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Debtors will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser. In addition, each Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Agents rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.
(c) For the purpose of enabling the Agent to further exercise rights and remedies under this Section 8 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable law, each Debtor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Debtor) to use, license or
18
sublicense following an Event of Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
9. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any portion of the Collateral shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Secured Party in enforcing the Secured Parties rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding principal amounts of Debentures at the time of any such determination), and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Parties shall pay to the applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Debtors will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the Default Rate), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
10. Securities Law Provision. Each Debtor recognizes that Agent may be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the Securities Laws), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor agrees that sales so made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities were sold to the public, and that Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Laws. Each Debtor shall cooperate with Agent in its attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including, without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by Agent) applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by Agent.
11. Costs and Expenses. Each Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC,
19
continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Agent. The Debtors shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Agent is reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interests therein. The Debtors will also, upon demand, pay to any applicable Secured Party and the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which such Secured Party and/or the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Parties under the Debentures. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Debentures and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
12. Responsibility for Collateral. The Debtors assume all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Agent nor any Secured Party (i) has any duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) each Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Debtor thereunder. Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent or any Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent or any Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.
13. Security Interests Absolute. All rights of the Secured Parties and all obligations of the Debtors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Debentures or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Debentures or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other security, for all or any of the
20
Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Parties to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to a Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Parties shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. Each Debtor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Parties hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, each Debtors obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Each Debtor waives all right to require the Secured Parties to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Parties may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Each Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
14. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Debentures have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of the Debtors contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Annex B hereto) shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.
15. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.
(a) Each Debtor authorizes the Agent, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Agent and its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as such Debtors true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in the name of the Agent or such Debtor, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any note, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Agent; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement pursuant to the UCC or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) to transfer any Intellectual Property or provide licenses respecting any Intellectual Property; and (vi) generally, at the option of the Agent, and at the expense of

This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. The designation set forth herein shall be deemed to amend and supersede any inconsistent provision in the Organizational Documents or other documents or agreements to which any Debtor is subject or to which any Debtor is a party.

(b) On a continuing basis, each Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule C attached hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Agent, to perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Agent the grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.
(c) Each Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as such Debtors attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor, from time to time in the Agents discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of such Debtor where permitted by law, which financing statements may (but need not) describe the Collateral as all assets or all personal property or words of like import, and ratifies all such actions taken by the Agent. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.
16. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be subject to the notice provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the Debentures).

The Agent shall have the rights, responsibilities and immunities set forth in Annex B hereto.
19. Miscellaneous.

(d) If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such

(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company and the Guarantors may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party (other than by merger).

(g) Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(h) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement 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 conflicts of law thereof. Each Debtor agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Debentures (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such 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 Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
24
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 Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.
(i) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(j) All Debtors shall jointly and severally be liable for the obligations of each Debtor to the Secured Parties hereunder.
(k) Each Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, Indemnitees) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Debentures, the Securities Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the Debentures) or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.
(l) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Agent or any Secured Party to liability as a partner in any Debtor or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in any Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor shall Agent or any Secured Party be deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of any such Debtor or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until any such Secured Party exercises its right to be substituted for such Debtor as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.
25
(m) To the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any partner or member, as applicable, of any Debtor or any direct or indirect subsidiary of any Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, the Debtors hereby grant such consent and approval and waive any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.

SECURITY
AGREEMENT
THE AGENT
1. Appointment. The Secured Parties (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided in the Security Agreement to which this Annex B is attached (the "Agreement")), by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate Roswell Capital Partners, LLC (Agent) as the Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. Each Secured Party shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Transaction Document (as such term is defined in the Debentures) and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.
2. Nature of Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Debtor or any Secured Party; and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except as expressly set forth herein and therein.
3. Lack of Reliance on the Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Secured Party, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Partys investment in the Debtors, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or
31
at any time or times thereafter.
