| Section 4. | Conversion. |
(a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(c)). The Holder shall effect conversions by
6
delivering to the Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Issuer unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Issuer shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within one Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Issuer shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 4(a), following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(b) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustment herein) (the “Conversion Price”).
(c) Holder’s Restriction on Conversion. This Section 4(c) shall apply only at and during such time as the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company is required to file reports and other documents pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Issuer shall not effect or cause the effectuation of any conversion of this Debenture, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, pursuant to Section 4(a) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company (including, without limitation, any other Debentures or any warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this section applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Issuer and the Company each time it delivers a Notice
7
of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Issuer and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the most recent Form 10-QSB, Form 10-KSB, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, of the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, or (z) any other notice by the Issuer, the Company or the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Issuer shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, including this Debenture, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section 4(c) may be waived by the Holder, at the election of the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Issuer, and the provisions of this Section 4(c) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Issuer delivers an Optional Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6(c), then the Holder may elect, on the 10th Trading Day prior to the Optional Redemption Date, to waive the provisions of this Section 4(c) for the period commencing on such 10th Trading Day prior to the Optional Redemption Date and ending on the Optional Redemption Date; (ii) if the Issuer delivers notice of a Change of Control Transaction pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(d), then the Holder may elect, no earlier than the 10th Trading Day prior to the Change of Control Date to waive the provisions of this Section 4(c) for a period ending on the 30th Trading Day following the Change of Control Date; or (iii) if the Issuer delivers a notice pursuant to Section 5(f)(ii), then the Holder may elect, as of the applicable record or date of the applicable transaction, to waive the provisions of this Section 4(c) for a period ending on the 30th following such record or other applicable date. The provisions of this Section 4(c) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such 4.99% limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(c) and the Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, may not waive this Section 4(c) without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock.
| (d) | Mechanics of Conversion. |
(i) Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
8
(ii) Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Issuer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares, which certificate shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest. The Issuer shall, if available and if allowed under applicable securities laws, use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by Issuer under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
(iii) Failure to Deliver Certificates. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after a Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Issuer shall immediately return the certificates representing the principal amount of this Debenture tendered for conversion.
(iv) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. If the Issuer or, from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Issuer shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day after five Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such third Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. The obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Issuer or, from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Issuer or the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Issuer or the Company of any such action the Issuer or the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Issuer and the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained and the Issuer or the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the principal amount of this Debenture outstanding that is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Issuer shall cause the issuance of the Conversion Shares or, if
9
applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 herein for the Issuer’s or Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder 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. 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.
(v) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, and if after such third Trading Day the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price of the Common Stock at the time of the sale (including brokerage commissions, if any) giving rise to such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Debenture at the time of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(d)(ii). 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 this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares at the time of the sale (including brokerage commissions, if any) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer and the Company, if applicable, prompt written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Holder requires the Issuer to make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to timely deliver certificates hereunder and the Issuer timely pays in full such payment, the Issuer and the Company shall not be required to pay such Holder liquidated damages under Section 4(d)(iv) in respect of the certificates resulting in such Buy-In.
(vi) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this
10
Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and registered for public sale in accordance with the Registration Statement.
(vii) Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion hereunder the Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the VWAP at such time. If the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
(viii) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Issuer or the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid.
| Section 5. | Certain Adjustments. |
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Issuer or the Company at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Debenture), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Issuer, or the Company, as applicable, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification or if such adjustment is made prior to the Consolidation Date in respect of the Company, such adjustment shall be effective on the Consolidation Date.
(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Issuer at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents

entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Issuer provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive the number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Issuer or the Company at any time while this Debenture is outstanding shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the holders of the Debenture) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash or stock dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, 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 one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one 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 or if such adjustment is made prior to the Consolidation Date in respect of the Company, such adjustment shall be effective on the Consolidation Date.
(d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (A) the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, effects any merger or consolidation of Issuer or the Company, as applicable, with or into another Person, (B) the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Issuer or from
12
and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Conversion Price shall be apportioned among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
| (f) | Notice to the Holder. |
(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 5, the Issuer shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereof in the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, 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 in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
(ii) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the
13
Company, shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, 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 Issuer or from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Issuer and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company, shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Issuer or the Company, as applicable; then, in each case, the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last addresses as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, 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. Subject to the provisions of this Debenture, the Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
| Section 6. | Redemptions and Puts. |
(a) Quarterly Redemption. On each Quarterly Redemption Date, the Issuer shall redeem the Quarterly Redemption Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, the sum of all liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing to such Holder in respect of this Debenture (the “Quarterly Redemption”). The Quarterly Redemption Amount due on each Quarterly Redemption Date shall be paid in cash only. The Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 4(a), any principal amount of this Debenture subject to a Quarterly Redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the last Trading Day prior to the Quarterly Redemption Date. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice of Conversion, any principal amount of this Debenture converted during the 15 Trading Days prior to the Quarterly Redemption Date until the date the Quarterly Redemption Amount is paid in full shall be first applied to the Quarterly Redemption Amount.
(b) Redemption Procedure. The Issuer shall send a notice to all Holders of each Quarterly Redemption not less than 15 nor more than 20 Trading Days prior to the Quarterly Redemption Date. The payment of cash pursuant to a Quarterly Redemption shall be made on the Quarterly Redemption Date. If any portion of the cash payment for a Quarterly Redemption shall not be paid by the Issuer by the respective due date, interest shall accrue
14
thereon at the rate of 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) until the payment of the Quarterly Redemption Amount plus all amounts owing thereon is paid in full. Alternatively, if any portion of the Quarterly Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holders subject to such redemption may elect, by written notice to the Issuer given at any time thereafter, to invalidate ab initio such redemption, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the Issuer’s determination to redeem in cash shall be applied among the Holders of Debentures ratably. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Section 6 by fax delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Issuer.
(c) IPO Put. To the extent practical, the Issuer shall give the Holders not less than 60 days prior written notice of a Initial Public Offering. Upon the occurrence of a Initial Public Offering (the date of the closing thereof being the “IPO Date”), at any time during the 60 days beginning on the IPO Date the Holder of this Debenture may require the Issuer to repurchase this Debenture, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, in cash at 200% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date (the “IPO Put Date”), by delivering written notice thereof to the Issuer (an “IPO Put Notice”), which notice shall indicate the principal amount of the Debenture that the Holder is electing to have redeemed by the Issuer. Upon the Issuer’s receipt of an IPO Put Notice(s) from any other Holders, the Issuer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day following such receipt, notify the Holder of the Issuer’s receipt thereof. The Issuer shall deliver the IPO Price simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the IPO Put Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Initial Public Offering and within five Business Days after the Issuer’s receipt of such notice otherwise. Payments provided for in this Section 6(c) shall have priority to payments to Issuer stockholders, if any, in connection with any Initial Public Offering.
(d) Change of Control Put. To the extent practical, the Issuer shall give the Holders not less than 30 days prior written notice of a Change of Control Transaction. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction (the date of such occurrence being the “Change of Control Date”), at any time during the 60 days beginning on the Change of Control Date the Holder of this Debenture may require the Issuer to repurchase this Debenture, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, in cash at the Change of Control Price determined pursuant to this Section 6(d) plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date (the “Change of Control Put Date”), by delivering written notice thereof to the Issuer (a “Change of Control Put Notice”), which notice shall indicate the principal amount of the Debenture that the Holder is electing to have redeemed by the Issuer. Upon the Issuer’s receipt of a Change of Control Put Notice(s) from any other Holders, the Issuer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day following such receipt, notify the Holder of the Issuer’s receipt thereof. The Issuer shall deliver the Change of Control Price simultaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control if the Change of Control Put Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five Business Days after the Issuer’s receipt of such notice otherwise. Payments provided for in this Section 6(d) shall have priority to payments to Issuer or Company stockholders, as applicable, in connection with a Change of Control. The “Change of Control Price” shall be 200% of the principal amount to be repurchased.
15
Section 7. Negative Covenants. So long as any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, the Issuer will not and from and after the Consolidation Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
(a) 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, but excluding Permitted Indebtedness;

(d) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture 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 hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts 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, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

20
(e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Issuer or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of any party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture. Any waiver must be in writing.
(f) Severability. If any provision of this Debenture is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Debenture, and the Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

| Section 2.1 | Interest. |
| |
(a) Payment of Interest in Cash or Kind. The Issuer shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture at
A-2
the rate of 6% per annum, payable quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing February 1, 2006, on each Quarterly Redemption Date (as to that principal amount then being redeemed), on each Conversion Date (as to that principal amount then being converted), on each Optional Redemption Date (as to that principal amount being redeemed), on each Change of Control Put Date (as to that principal amount then being repurchased) and on the Maturity Date (except that, if any such date is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), in cash or except in the case of interest paid on the Optional Redemption Date or any change of Control Put Date, shares of Common Stock at the Interest Conversion Rate, or a combination thereof (the amount of any interest to be paid in shares, the “Interest Share Amount”); provided, however, payment in shares of Common Stock may only occur if during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Notice Period”) and through and including the date such shares of Common Stock are issued to the Holder: (x) all of the Equity Conditions, unless waived by the Agent (in accordance with instructions from the Required Purchasers) in writing, have been met, (y) the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock on such market or exchange shall be equal to at least $400,000 and (z) the Issuer shall have given the Holder notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth below. On an Interest Payment Date, the number of shares to be delivered, if any, shall equal the quotient of (x) the applicable Interest Share Amount divided by (y) the then Interest Conversion Rate (the “Interest Conversion Shares”). Not more than five Trading Days prior to the commencement of an Interest Notice Period for which the Company is electing to deliver Interest Conversion Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder’s account with The Depository Trust Company a number of shares of Common Stock to be applied against such Interest Share Amount equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable Interest Share Amount divided by (y) the then Conversion Price (the “Preliminary Interest Conversion Shares”) and on the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Company shall deliver the difference, if any, between the Interest Conversion Shares and the Preliminary Interest Conversion Shares to the Holder’s Account with The Depository Trust Company. If there is an Interest Make-whole Trigger for any Interest Payment Date for which the Company has delivered Interest Conversion Shares, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder not later than the 15th Trading Day after such Interest Payment Date, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Interest Make-whole Quantity.
(b) Issuer’s Election to Pay Interest in Kind. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the decision whether to pay interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock or cash shall be at the discretion of the Company. Prior to the commencement of an Interest Notice Period, the Issuer and the Company shall provide the Holder with ten days’ written notice of their election to pay interest hereunder on the applicable Interest Payment Date either in cash, shares of Common Stock (if permitted) or a combination thereof (they may indicate in such notice that the election contained in such notice shall continue for later periods until revised) and the Interest Share Amount as to the applicable Interest Payment Date. During any Interest Notice Period, the Company’s election (whether specific to an Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be irrevocable as to such Interest Payment Date. Subject to the aforementioned conditions, failure to timely provide such written notice shall be deemed an election to pay the interest on such Interest Payment Date in cash. At any time the Issuer and the Company deliver a notice to the Holder electing to pay the interest in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall file a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 disclosing such election.
A-3
(c) Interest Calculations. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Payment of interest in shares of Common Stock (other than the Interest Conversion Shares issued prior to an Interest Notice Period) shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) and only for purposes of the payment of interest in shares, the Interest Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date. Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount converted, provided that the Company in fact delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section 4(d)(ii). Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Debenture is registered on the records of the Issuer regarding registration and transfers of this Debenture (the “Debenture Register”). Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Issuer pays interest partially in cash and partially in shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Debentures, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Debentures based on their (or predecessors’) initial purchases of Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(d) Late Fee. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at the rate of 18% per annum (or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law) (“Late Fees”) that will accrue daily from the date such interest is due hereunder through and including the date of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on any Interest Payment Date the Issuer and the Company have elected to pay interest in Common Stock and are not able to pay accrued interest in the form of Common Stock because it does not then satisfy the conditions for payment in the form of Common Stock set forth above, then, at the option of the Holder, the Issuer, in lieu of delivering either shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 or paying the regularly scheduled cash interest payment, shall deliver on the applicable Interest Payment Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Holder in connection with the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date and the highest VWAP during the period commencing on the Interest Payment Date and ending on the Trading Day prior to the date such payment is made. If any Interest Conversion Shares are issued to the Holder in connection with an Interest Payment Date and are not applied against an Interest Share Amount, then the Holder shall promptly return such excess shares to the Issuer.
3. The Conversion Price set forth in Section 4(b) shall be $1.50 (subject to adjustment as provided herein, with such first adjustment, if any, to be calculated from the Original Issue Date to the Consolidation Date).
| 4. | Section 4(d)(ii) is amended to read in its entirety as follows: |
(ii) Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares, which certificate shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture (including, if the Issuer and the Company have given continuous notice pursuant to Section 2(b) for payment of interest in shares of Common Stock at least 20 Trading Days prior to the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered to the
A-4
Company, shares of Common Stock representing the payment of accrued interest otherwise determined pursuant to Section 2(a) but assuming that the Interest Payment Period is the 20 Trading Days period immediately prior to the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company and excluding for such issuance the condition that the Company deliver Interest Conversion Shares as to such interest payment) and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest not otherwise paid in Interest Conversion Shares (if the Company is required to pay accrued interest in cash). The Company shall, if available and if allowed under applicable securities laws, use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
| 5. | Section 5(b) is amended to read in its entirety as follows: |
(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then (i) if such issuance occurs during the period from the Original Issue Date until the later of (A) the 18 month anniversary of the Consolidation Date and (B) the closing date of a Qualified Offering, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price, and (ii) if such issuance occurs thereafter until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, the Conversion Price shall be reduced and only reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance (such fractional result, the “Average Conversion Price”). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Issuer provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive the number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price or the Average Conversion
A-5
Price, as applicable, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price or the Average Conversion Price, as applicable, in the Notice of Conversion.
| 6. | Section 6(c) is amended to read in its entirety as follows: |
(c) Optional Redemption. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the first anniversary of the Consolidation Date, the Issuer may redeem the then outstanding principal amount of all the Debentures then outstanding in whole and not in part at the Optional Redemption Price; provided that as of the date the Issuer provides notice of such optional redemption (the “Optional Redemption Notice”) and as of the date set for redemption (the “Optional Redemption Date”), the Company has achieved the Corporate Milestones and all Equity Conditions are satisfied. The Issuer shall provide the Optional Redemption Notice not less than 15 nor more than 20 Trading Days prior to the Optional Redemption Date. On the Optional Redemption Date, the Issuer shall pay the Optional Redemption Price in cash to the Holders. The Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 4(a), any principal amount of this Debenture at any time prior to the close of business on the last Trading Day prior to the Optional Redemption Date.
| 7. | The definition of “Change of Control Price” set forth in Section 6(d) is amended to read in its entirety as follows: |
The “Change of Control Price” shall be 120% of the principal shall be 120% of the principal amount to be repurchased if the Change of Control Date occurs after the Original Issue Date and before the first anniversary of the Consolidation Date; 115% of the principal amount to be repurchased if the Change of Control Date occurs on or after the first but before the second anniversary of the Consolidation Date; 110% of the principal amount to be repurchased if the Change of Control Date occurs on or after the second but before the third anniversary of the Consolidation Date; and 105% of the principal amount to be repurchased if the Change of Control Date occurs thereafter.
| 8. | Section 10 is amended to read in its entirety as follows: |
Section 10. General Continuing Guaranty. The due and punctual payment of the principal of, and interest on, the amounts owed by the Issuer under this Debenture and the other Debentures, and the due and punctual payment of all other obligations owed by the Company, the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are jointly and severally guarantied by the Company and the Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) pursuant to the Transaction Guaranty in favor of the Holders and the Agent. The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries hereunder and under the Transaction Guaranty are ratably secured by the Guarantor Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Issuer, the Company, the other grantors party thereto and the Agent (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Guarantor Security Agreement”). Reference is hereby made to (i) the Transaction Guaranty for a description of the obligations guarantied thereunder, the conditions of such Guaranty, and the rights of the Holders and the Agent in respect thereof and (ii) the Guarantor Security Agreement for a description of the collateral thereby pledged and assigned, the nature and extent of the security for the Debentures, and the rights of the Holders in respect of such security and otherwise.
