Unless otherwise consented to by the Required Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company shall not become party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 pursuant to written agreements approved by the Required Holders prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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 Debentures (which shall include having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Debentures held by such holders and having a ranking on parity with the Debentures), and otherwise satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an U.S. Stock Market.

(7)           RIGHTS UPON OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Debenture.

(8)           ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any time on or after the Closing Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Closing Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(9)           NON-CIRCUMVENTION. 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 Debenture, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Debenture and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Debenture.

(10)         RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a)          Reservation. The Company initially shall reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each of the Debentures equal to at least 110% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Debenture as of the Issuance Date. So long as any of the Debentures are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Debentures, 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Debentures then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Debentures and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Debentures based on the principal amount of the Debentures held by each holder at the Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or as increased in accordance herewith, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Debentures, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Debentures shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Debentures, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Debentures then held by such holders.

(b)          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 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 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 60 days after such occurrence, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval for an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with obtaining such approval, the Company 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.

(11)         VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Debenture, except as required by law, including but not limited to the General Corporation Law of Delaware, and as expressly provided in this Debenture.
 
(12)         COVENANTS.

(d)          Restricted Payments. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) declare or make, or agree to pay for or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, or (ii) be or become liable in respect of any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to purchase, redeem, retire, acquire or make any other payment in respect of its equity securities or any option, warrant (other than the Warrants and other options and warrants of the Company outstanding on the date hereof, including the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in respect of any of the foregoing) or other right to acquire any such shares of equity securities, except that any Subsidiary of the Company may declare and pay dividends with respect to its equity securities to the Company.

(e)          Sale of Stock. The Company shall not, so long as this Debenture is outstanding, sell or offer for sale any Common Stock for a price of less than $0.03 per share without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, which consent may be withheld by them in their sole discretion.

(13)         AMENDMENTS TO TERMS OF DEBENTURES. The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders shall be required for any change or amendment to terms of this Debenture or the Other Debentures. Any change or amendment so approved shall be in writing and shall be binding upon all existing and future holders of this Debenture and any Other Debentures.

(b)          Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Debenture. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Debenture, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Debenture, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 15(c)) representing the outstanding Principal.

(16)        CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. The Company and all the Investors (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) having been represented by counsel in connection with this Debenture and the transactions contemplated hereby and having had adequate opportunity to negotiate the terms hereof, the principle that agreements are to be construed against the party drafting same shall be inapplicable.
