“[FORM OF REVERSE]

 

“This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its “8% Limited Recourse Secured Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 31, 2014” (the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $20,000,000, issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of October 8, 2004 and Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 8, 2004 (collectively, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Security or Securities to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.  The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Securities in the requested denominations.

 

“The Securities are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

 

“No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

 

“To secure the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and interest, if any, on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Securities and the Indenture and the performance by the Company of its covenants and agreements under the Securities and the Indenture, when and as the same shall be due and payable or performable, whether at Maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Company has granted a security interest in all of the Pledged Shares held by the Company to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture.

 

“The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time on or after the earlier to occur of (i) December 31, 2008 and (ii) the Sale of PawnMart, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice to the Holders (the “Redemption Notice”) prior to the Redemption Date at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together, in each case, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that interest installments on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such

 

6



 

Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture; provided further, however, if the Closing Price Per Share on the Stock Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Redemption Notice is less than $15.00, the Company will, in connection with such redemption, issue to each Holder of Securities a warrant to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock into which the Securities of such Holder are convertible on the Redemption Date at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, exercisable on or before the fifth anniversary date of the Redemption Date and otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and by reference made a part hereof.

 

“In the event of a redemption of the Securities, the Company will not be required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of Securities for a period of fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities called for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer or exchange of any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption.

 

“In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall be, at any Place of Payment or Place of Conversion as the case may be, a day on which banking institutions at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, then payment of principal, or interest, or delivery for conversion of such Security need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding day at such place which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment or the date fixed for redemption, or by such last day for conversion, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date.

 

“Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is entitled, at his option, at any time on or before the close of business on December 31, 2014, or in case this Security or a portion hereof is called for redemption, then in respect of this Security until and including, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption) not after, the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date to convert this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000, provided that the unconverted portion of such principal amount is U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at an initial Conversion Rate of 100 shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Securities (or at the current

 

7



 

adjusted Conversion Rate if an adjustment has been made as provided in the Indenture) by surrender of this Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank and, in case such surrender shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (except if this Security or portion thereof has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date occurring during such period and is surrendered for such conversion during such period (including any Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on a Redemption Date that is a Regular Record Date or an Interest Payment Date, as the case may be)), also accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being converted, and also the conversion notice hereon duly executed, to the Company at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Company, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto and subject to the right of the Company to terminate the appointment of any Conversion Agent (as defined below) as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate (each a “Conversion Agent”), provided, further, that if this Security or portion hereof has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date occurring during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such succeeding Interest Payment Date (including any Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on a Redemption Date that is a Regular Record Date or an Interest Payment Date, as the case may be) and is surrendered for conversion during such period (or on the last Business Day prior to the Regular Record Date or Interest Payment Date in case of any Security (or portion thereof) called for redemption on a Redemption Date on a Regular Record Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be), then the Holder of this Security on such Regular Record Date will be entitled to receive the interest accruing hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of such conversion to such succeeding Interest Payment Date and the Holder of this Security who converts this Security or a portion hereof during such period shall not be required to pay such interest upon surrender of this Security for conversion.  Subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence and, in the case of a conversion after the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date and on or before the close of business on such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of this Security (or any Predecessor Security of record as of such Regular Record Date) to receive the related installment of interest to the extent and under the circumstances provided in the Indenture, no cash payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest accrued hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the day of conversion, or for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion hereof.  The

 

8



 

Company shall thereafter deliver to the Holder the fixed number of shares of Common Stock (together with any cash adjustment, as provided in the Indenture) into which this Security is convertible and such delivery will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of this Security.  No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.  The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture.  In addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party (other than a consolidation or merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of the Common Stock) or the conveyance, transfer, sale or lease of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then Outstanding, will be convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Security could have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease.  No adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be made until such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such rate, provided that any adjustment that would otherwise be made will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any subsequent adjustment.

 

“If a Holder converts all or any part of such Holder’s Securities following a notice of redemption from the Company with respect to a date of redemption that is prior to December 31, 2008 in connection with the Sale of PawnMart, and the Sale of PawnMart is not consummated on or before the Redemption Date, the Company will (i) promptly provide notice to the Trustee and to each of the Holders of Securities that converted all or any part of such Holder’s Securities following notice of redemption from the Company that the Sale of PawnMart was not consummated and (ii) permit such Holders to rescind such conversion, by delivering a rescission form accompanying the notice from the Company to the Trustee and such Holders to any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose and specified in the notice for a period of ten (10) days immediately following the delivery of such notice.  Any such Holders of Securities who fail to so deliver a properly completed and executed rescission notice on or before the expiration of such ten (10) day period will be deemed to have elected to convert such Securities.

 

“In the event of redemption or conversion of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed or unconverted portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.

“The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and this Security is issued subject to such provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.  Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

 

“If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.  Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest, all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities shall terminate.

 

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without in any manner releasing, impairing, or otherwise affecting the Securities, the Indenture, or any Lien securing payment of the Securities, or the validity thereof, neither the Trustee nor any Holder of the Securities will hold the Company personally liable for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or for any other sums due as a result of any Event of Default under the Securities or the Indenture or for the payment of any deficiency established after foreclosure of the security interest in the Collateral or the exercise of any other rights and remedies granted in the Indenture for the benefit of the Holders with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent of the Company’s interest in the Collateral, and the recourse of the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities for any and all such Events of Default shall be limited to the enforcement of such rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral as are set forth in the Securities and the Indenture; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing limitation of liability, the Company shall be fully liable to the same extent that the Company would be liable absent the limitation of liability set forth in this paragraph for: (i) interest that accrues on the Securities from their respective Issue Dates to December 31, 2008, including interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest; (ii) fraud or misrepresentation by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Securities; (iii) the violation of any covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in Sections 11.9, 11.10 and 11.11 of Article XI of the Indenture, and (iv) all fees and expenses due to, and the indemnification of, the Trustee under Sections 5.2 and 7.7 of this Indenture and all court costs, attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Holders to collect any of the

 

10



 

foregoing amounts.  The limitation on liability set forth herein is not intended as a release or discharge of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, or any portion thereof, but is a limited covenant not to sue, and such indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect.

 

“The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with either (a) the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented and entitled to vote at such meeting.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange herefore or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such other Security.

 

“As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of the right to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture.

 

“As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall

 

11



 

initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar.  No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

“Prior to due presentation of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name Security is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

“No recourse for the payment of the principal or interest on this Security and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or  any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

 

“THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

(the “Company”), subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant, from the Company at the Exercise Price (as defined below) on delivery of this Warrant to the Company with the exercise form duly executed and payment of the Exercise Price, in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company, for all shares of Common Stock purchased.

 

13



 

“The purchase price per share of Common Stock (the “Exercise Price”) shall be Ten Dollars ($10.00) per share, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.

 

“This Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, but not for less than 1,000 shares of Common Stock at a time (or such lesser number of shares of Common Stock which may then constitute the maximum number purchasable, such number being subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant) on or after the date of issuance until                         (the “Expiration Date”).  Such exercise may occur on any day that is a business day, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

 

“In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office at 6400 Atlantic Blvd., Suite 190, Norcross, Georgia 30071, or at such other office as shall be designated by the Company pursuant to this Warrant, (i) a written notice of Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise, (ii) either cash or a check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for all shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise, and (iii) this Warrant, properly endorsed.  Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise.  The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be registered in the name of Holder, or such other name as shall be designated in said notice.

 

“This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person designated in the notice of exercise shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock for all purposes, as of the date said notice, together with said payment and this Warrant, is received by the Company.  Holder shall not, solely by virtue of Holder’s ownership of this Warrant, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or in equity; provided, however, Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  If the exercise is for less than all of the shares of Common Stock issuable as provided in this Warrant, the Company will issue a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of such shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder to Holder.  Holder, by Holder’s acceptance hereof, consents to and agrees to be bound by and to comply with all of the provisions of this Warrant.

 

14



 

“This Warrant and all options and rights hereunder are transferable, as to all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its exercise, by Holder in person or by a duly authorized attorney on the books of the Company upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal offices of the Company, together with the form of transfer authorization attached hereto duly executed, provided that such transfer complies with all applicable securities laws.  The Company shall deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant at any time as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  If this Warrant is transferred in part, the Company shall at the time of surrender of this Warrant issue to the transferee a Warrant covering the number of shares of Common Stock transferred and to the transferor a Warrant covering the number of shares not transferred.

 

“In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date hereof fix a record date for the split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock to receive dividends or other distributions payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase or potential increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

“If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Exercise Price for this Warrant shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common stock issuable on exercise hereof shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

“If there is a capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with any other corporation or entity, or if there is a sale or distribution of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets, the Company shall make adequate provision so that there shall remain and be substituted under this Warrant with respect to each share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant the stock, securities and/or assets which would have been issuable or payable in respect of or in exchange for such issuable shares if Holder had been the owner of such share on the

 

15



 

applicable record date.  All other provisions of this Warrant shall remain in full force and effect.

 

“On the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price or the shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall immediately give written notice to Holder stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number and kind of securities or other property purchasable hereunder resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based.

 

“In case at any time the Company shall propose to: declare any cash dividend upon the Common Stock, declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of the Common Stock, reorganize, or reclassify the capital stock of the Company, or consolidate, merge or otherwise combine with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity, or voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve, liquidate or wind up the affairs of the Company, then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give to Holder, by certified mail, (i) at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.  Any notice required by clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend or distribution, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and any notice required by clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, as the case may be.

 

“Any notice required or permitted in this Warrant shall be in writing and may be delivered personally to the party being given notice or to the person in charge of the office of the party being given notice or by facsimile, national overnight courier service or by mail, at the party’s address indicated below, and any notice will be effective only upon actual receipt by the party.  The addresses of the parties are as follows:
