WHEREAS, this Note was originally issued to TCA GLOBAL CREDIT MASTER FUND, LP on September 30, 2014 (the "Note"), and was subsequently sold to the Rockwell Capital Partners Inc.

 

The following terms and conditions shall apply to this Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture"):

 

ARTICLE I INTEREST & AMORTIZATION

 

1.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 3.10 and 5.7 hereof, interest payable on this Debenture shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to Zero percent (0%) and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year.

 

1.2 Payments. Payment of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Debenture (the "Principal Amount"), together with all accrued interest thereon shall be made on the Maturity Date.

ARTICLE II CONVERSION REPAYMENT

 

2.1. Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Article II, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity Date, or thereafter during an Event of Default, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees due and payable thereon into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Borrower (the "Common Stock") at the Conversion Price (as defined below). The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the "Conversion Shares."

 

2.2. Calculation of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits%

 

2.3. stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower's securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events. The Conversion Price shall mean the 60% (representing a discount rate of 40%) multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein). "Market Price" means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period preceding the Conversion Date inclusive of the day of the Conversion Date. "Trading Price" means, for any security as of any date, the lowest sale price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the "OTCBB") as reported by a reliable reporting service ("Reporting Service") designated by the Holder (i.e., Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the lowest sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the "pink sheets" by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.

 

2.4. Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Debenture an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Borrower. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

 

2.5. Mechanics of Holder's Conversion. Subject to Section 2.2, this Debenture will be converted by the Holder in part from time to time after the Issue Date, by submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (whether by facsimile, as a Portable Document (PDF) file sent by electronic mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 8:00 p.m., New York, New York time). On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower on the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the "Conversion Date"). A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent within two (2) business days of the Conversion Date accompanied by an opinion of counsel to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by physical delivery or crediting the account of the Holder's designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within five (5) business days after receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery Date"). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein, the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued, upon the date of receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, unless the Holder provides Borrower written instructions to the contrary.

2.6. Late Payments. The Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Borrower agrees to pay late fees to the Holder for late issuance of such shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of the Debenture, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. The Borrower shall pay any fees incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and such fees shall also be eligible to be converted into Conversion Shares as set forth in this Article II.

 

2.6 Late Notices. The Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the instructions to the transfer agent during the timeframe required pursuant to this Article that results in a delay of the Conversion Shares beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Borrower agrees to pay late fees to the Holder for the late issuance of such transfer agent instructions an additional amount equal to $500 per day commencing on the third day of the Conversion Date. The Borrower shall pay any fees incurred under this Section, in addition to any amounts due hereunder, in immediately available funds upon demand and such fees shall also be eligible to be converted into Conversion Shares as set forth in this Article II.

 

2.7 Conversion Mechanics. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Conversion Price.

 

2.8 Authorized and Reserved Shares. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Debenture shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Debenture. At all times during which this Debenture is outstanding, the Borrower shall reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares.

 

2.9 Issuance of New Debenture. Upon any partial conversion of this Debenture, a new Debenture containing the same date and provisions of this Debenture shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Debenture and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article III, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Debenture.

 

2.10 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to upon such conversion, the Borrower shall round up to the next whole share.

2.11 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Debenture, at any time during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than twenty (20) days prior written notice to the Holder of the Debenture to prepay the outstanding Debenture (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 2.11. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an "Optional Prepayment Notice") shall be delivered to the Holder of the Debenture at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Debenture, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the "Optional Prepayment Date"), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least on the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Debenture, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the "Optional Prepayment Amount") equal to 150%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Debenture to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any owed to the Holder. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Debenture within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Debenture pursuant to this Section 2.11.
