Upon receipt of full payment in cash for the entire Debenture, each Holder will promptly submit to the Corporation such Holder’s Debenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a Redemption Notice shall not affect Holder’s rights under Section I.G until after receipt of cash payment by Holder.
G. Conversion.
1. Mechanics of Conversion.
a. All or any portion of the Face Amount of the Debenture may be converted, in part or in whole, into shares of Common Stock, at any time or times after the Issuance Date, in the sole and absolute discretion of Holder or, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Corporation; (i) if at the option of Holder, by delivery of one or more written notices to the Corporation or its transfer agent (each, a “Holder Conversion Notice”), of the Holder’s election to convert any or all of the Debenture or (ii) if at the option of the Corporation, if the Equity Conditions are met, delivery of written notice to Holder (each, a “Corporation Conversion Notice” and, with the Holder Conversion Notice, each a “Conversion Notice”), of the Corporation’s election to convert all of any portion of the Debenture.
4 |
b. Each Delivery Notice (as defined below) will set forth the amount of Face Value of Debenture being converted, the Liquidation Value and the minimum number of Conversion Shares and the amount of Interest and any applicable Conversion Premium due as of the time the Delivery Notice is given (the “Notice Time”), and the calculation thereof.
c. Notwithstanding Section I.G.1.d, if the Corporation pays in cash no later than close of the 2nd Trading Day after the Notice Date, time being of the essence, the full amount of Dividends and Conversion Premium due as of the Notice Date, no further amount will be due with respect to Dividends and Conversion Premium for the shares in the Conversion Notice.
d. As soon as practicable, and in any event within 1 Trading Day after the Notice Date, time being of the essence, the Corporation will do all of the following: (i) transmit the Delivery Notice by facsimile or electronic mail to the Corporation’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), copying Holder, with instructions to immediately comply with the Delivery Notice and deliver the number of Conversion Shares stated in the Delivery Notice forthwith; (ii) either (A) if the Corporation is approved through The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”), authorize and instruct the credit by the Transfer Agent of the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Delivery Notice, to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, or (B) only if the Corporation is not approved through DTC, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Delivery Notice a certificate bearing no restrictive legend, registered in the name of Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Delivery Notice; and (iii) if it contends that the Delivery Notice is in any way incorrect, so notify Holder and provide a thorough written explanation and its own calculation, or the Delivery Notice and the calculations therein will conclusively be deemed correct for all purposes. The Corporation will at all times diligently take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to cause the Conversion Shares to be issued forthwith. If the Conversion Shares are not registered for resale, Investor will provide a legal opinion that they are exempt from registration. Under no circumstances will the Corporation issue a share certificate bearing a restrictive legend.
e. If during or at the end of the Measurement Period the Holder is entitled to receive additional Conversion Shares with regard to an Initial Notice, Holder may at any time deliver one or more additional written notices to the Corporation or its transfer agent (each, an “Additional Notice” and with the Initial Notice, each a “Delivery Notice”) setting forth the additional number of Conversion Shares to be delivered, and the calculation thereof.
5 |
f. If the Corporation for any reason does not issue or cause to be issued to the Holder within 2 Trading Days (T+2) after the date of a Delivery Notice, the number of Conversion Shares stated in the Delivery Notice, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Corporation will pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such 2nd Trading Day that the issuance of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (i) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (ii) the highest Closing Price of the Common Stock between the date on which the Corporation should have issued such shares to the Holder and the actual date of receipt of Conversion Shares by Holder. It is intended that the foregoing will serve to reasonably compensate Holder for any delay in delivery of Conversion Shares, and not as punishment for any breach by the Corporation. The Corporation acknowledges that the actual damages likely to result from delay in delivery are difficult to estimate and would be difficult for Holder to prove.
g. Notwithstanding any other provision: all of the requirements of Section I.F and this Section I.G are each independent covenants; the Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver Conversion Shares upon any Delivery Notice are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable; any breach or alleged breach of any representation or agreement, or any violation or alleged violation of any law or regulation, by any party or any other person will not excuse full and timely performance of any of the Corporation’s obligations under these sections; and under no circumstances may the Corporation seek or obtain any temporary, interim or preliminary injunctive or equitable relief to prevent or interfere with any issuance of Conversion Shares to Holder.
h. Company acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would be difficult to quantify and prove, and that Holder would not have an adequate remedy at law for any failure to fully perform under this Section G. If for any reason whatsoever Holder does not timely receive the number of Conversion Shares stated in any Delivery Notice, Holder will be entitled to a compulsory remedy of immediate specific performance, temporary, interim and, preliminary and final injunctive relief requiring Corporation and its transfer agent, attorneys, officers and directors to immediately issue and deliver the number of Conversion Shares stated by Holder, which requirement will not be stayed for any reason, without the necessity of posting any bond, and which Corporation may not seek to stay or appeal.
i. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of this Debenture, but rather the Corporation will round up to the nearest full share. The Holder will not be required to deliver the original of this Debenture in order to effect a conversion hereunder. The Corporation will pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any Conversion Shares.
2. Holder Conversion. In the event of a conversion of any portion of this Debenture pursuant to a Holder Conversion Notice, the Corporation will (a) satisfy the payment of Interest and Conversion Premium as provided in Section I.C.2, and (b) issue to the Holder of this Debenture a number of Conversion Shares equal to the Face Value divided by the applicable Conversion Price with respect to the amount of Debenture converted; all in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section I.G.1.
3. Corporation Conversion. The Corporation will have the right to send the Holder a Corporation Conversion Notice at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, if the Equity Conditions are met as of the time such Corporation Conversion Notice is given. Upon any conversion of any portion of this Debenture pursuant to a Corporation Conversion Notice, the Corporation will on the date of such notice (a) satisfy the payment of Interest and Conversion Premium as provided in Section I.C.2, and (b) issue to the Holder of this Debenture a number of Conversion Shares equal to the Face Value divided by the applicable Conversion Price with respect to the amount of Debenture converted; all in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section I.G.1.

If the Corporation at any time on or after such Issuance 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 applicable Conversion Price, Adjustment Factor, Maximum Triggering Level, Minimum Triggering Level, and other share based metrics in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section will become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
5. Rights. In addition to any other adjustments, if at any time the Corporation 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 Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Holder could have acquired if Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of the entire Debenture held by Holder 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.
