ARTICLE III

CONVERSION

 

Section 3.1 Conversion Right.

 

(1) Subject to this ARTICLE III, the Lender shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount and/or any Interest Amount, into fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock at the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Right”), provided, however, that in no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Debenture in excess of that portion of this Debenture upon conversion of which the sum of (a) the number of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Debenture or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein), and (b) the number of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Debenture with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Borrower. For purposes of the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G promulgated thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation 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). The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3.

 

(2) The Conversion Right shall extend only to the maximum number of whole Common Stock into which the Principal Amount and/or any Interest Amount of this Debenture or any part thereof may be converted in accordance with this Section 3.1. The Borrower shall not be required to issue fractional Common Stock upon the conversion of the Debenture pursuant to this ARTICLE III with any factional amounts rounded down to the nearest whole number without any compensation to the Lender for any fractional amounts.

 

Section 3.2 Conversion Procedure

 

(1) The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Lender by completing and signing the notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) attached hereto as Schedule B, and delivering the Conversion Notice and this Debenture to the Borrower. The Conversion Notice shall provide that the Conversion Right is being exercised, shall specify the Principal Amount being converted and/or any Interest Amount being converted (the “Conversion Amount”) and shall set out the date “on which Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of the Conversion Right (the “Issue Date”) (such date to be no earlier than five (5) Business Days and no later than ten (10) Business Days after the day on which the Conversion Notice is issued). The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Issue Date and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable at such time. Within two (2) Business Days after the Issue Date, a certificate for the required number of Common Stock shall be issued to the Lender. If less than all of the Principal Amount and any Interest Amount of this Debenture is the subject of the Conversion Right, then within ten (10) Business Days after the Issue Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a replacement Debenture in the form hereof in the principal amount of the unconverted principal balance and any accrued unconverted interest hereof, and this Debenture shall be cancelled. If the Conversion Right is being exercised in respect of the entire Principal Amount and all of the Interest Amount of this Debenture, this Debenture shall be cancelled.

 

 
A-4

 

 

(2) If the Borrower shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Lender on or prior to ten (10) Business Days from the date on which the Conversion Notice is received by the Borrower a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares or to which the Lender is entitled hereunder and register such Conversion Shares on the Borrower’s share register or to credit the Lender’s balance account with CDS for such number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender is entitled upon the Lender’s conversion of any portion this Debenture (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Lender, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the Lender an amount in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Company, at the sole discretion of the Company, with the price per share based on the ten (10) trading day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the date of the Conversion Failure, on each day after the Issue Date and during such Conversion Failure equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Lender on or prior to the Issue Date and to which the Lender is entitled and (B) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Borrower could have issued such Conversion Shares to the Lender without violating this Section 3.2(2), and (ii) the Lender, upon written notice to the Borrower, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Debenture that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of an Conversion Notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to ten (10) Business Days from the date on which the Conversion Notice is received by the Borrower, the Borrower shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Lender and register such Conversion Shares on the Borrower’s share register or credit the Lender’s balance account with CDS for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender is entitled upon the Lender’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Borrower’s obligation pursuant to clause (1) above, and if on or after such Business Day the Lender purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock, provided that the Conversion Shares have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Lender of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Lender anticipated receiving from the Borrower, then the Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Lender’s request and in the Lender’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Lender in an amount equal to the Lender’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Borrower’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Conversion Shares) or credit such Lender’s balance account with CDS for such Conversion Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Lender a certificate or certificates representing such Conversion Shares or credit such Lender’s balance account with CDS and pay cash to the Lender in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Common Stock, times (B) the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. Nothing shall limit the Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 3.3 Adjustments

 

If and whenever the Common Stock will be subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares, or in the event of any payment by the Borrower of a stock dividend (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course), the exercise price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be.  Upon any such subdivision, consolidation, payment of a stock dividend or rights offering, the number of shares deliverable upon conversion of this Debenture and the Conversion Price will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be such that in all cases the Lender is entitled to receive the same proportion of Common Stock upon conversion as it was entitled to receive prior to the subdivision, or consolidation payment of a stock dividend.

 

If, at any time when all or any portion of this Debenture is issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Borrower securities, then the Lender will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Lender could have acquired if Lender had held the number of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

 
A-5

 

 

In case of any reclassification of the capital of the Borrower, or in the case of the merger, reorganization or amalgamation of the Borrower with, or into any other company (including, for greater certainty, any triangular or three-cornered merger or amalgamation to which the Borrower is party) or of the sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Borrower to any other company (in each case, a “Corporate Event”), the Conversion Right will, after such Corporate Event, confer the right to convert into that number of shares or other securities or property of the Borrower or of the company resulting from such Corporate Event, or to which such sale will be made, as the case may be, which the Lender would then hold if the Lender had exercised the Lender’s Conversion Right before the Corporate Event; and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3.3 with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Lender to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3.3 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any Common Stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Debenture.

 

The adjustments provided for in this Section 3.3 are cumulative.  Notwithstanding anything in this Debenture to the contrary, and in addition to the beneficial ownership limitations provided herein, the total number of Common Stock that may be issued under this Note, shall be limited to 19.99% of the Borrower’s outstanding Common Stock as of the date hereof (the “Exchange Cap”), unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than the Exchange Cap. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.

 

Section 3.4 Determination of Adjustments

 

If any question will at any time arise with respect to any adjustments to be made under Section 3.3, such question will be conclusively determined by the Independent Accountant, who will have access to all appropriate records, and such determination will be binding upon the Borrower and the Lender.

 

Section 3.5 Resale Restrictions

 

This Debenture and the Conversion Shares to be issued upon its conversion have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES.  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR RESALE, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION OR EXCLUSION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Section 3.7 Borrower to Reserve Common Stock

 

The Borrower covenants with the Lender that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and conditionally allot to the Lender, the number of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture (the “Reserved Amount”).  The Borrower covenants with the Lender that all Conversion Shares which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.  In the event that the Borrower shall be unable to reserve the entirety of the Reserved Amount at any time (a “Reserve Amount Failure”), the Borrower shall promptly take all actions necessary to increase its authorized share capital to accommodate the Reserved Amount (the “Authorized Share Increase”), including without limitation, all board of directors actions and approvals and promptly (but no less than sixty (60) days following the calling and holding a special meeting of its shareholders no more than seventy-five (75) days following the Reserve Amount Failure to seek approval of the Authorized Share Increase via the solicitation of proxies. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares issued upon any conversion of this Debenture will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of Conversion Shares into which this Debenture shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of this Debenture. 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 or cause the Borrower to electronically issue Common Stock to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares or cause the Conversion Shares to be issued as contemplated by the terms and conditions of this Debenture.

 

Section 3.8 Certificate as to Adjustment

 

The Borrower shall from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 3.3, deliver an officer’s certificate to the Lender specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.  Such certificate shall be binding and determinative of the adjustment to be made, absent manifest error or the Lender’s right to challenge the Borrower’s calculation or compliance with the foregoing adjustment provisions.  If the Lender challenges the Borrower’s calculation or compliance with the foregoing adjustment provisions, the parties will attempt to resolve their disagreement within 30 days of the date the Lender provides notice to the Borrower of its disagreement.  If the parties are unable to resolve their disagreement within such 30-day period, the Lender may refer such matter to the Independent Accountant, whose determination in such matter will be binding on the Lender and Borrower.

 

Section 3.9 Shareholder of Record

 

                For all purposes, on the Issue Date or the applicable date specified in Section 3.2 the Lender shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares into which the Principal Amount and/or any Interest Amount of this Debenture (or a portion thereof) is converted in accordance with Section 3.2.

(1)

the undersigned is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) of the Company (except solely by virtue of being an officer or director of the Company) or a “distributor”, as defined in Regulation S, or an affiliate of a “distributor”;

 

 

 

 

(2)

the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United States and either (a) at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States or (b) the transaction was executed on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market within the meaning of Rule 902(b) of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States;

 

 

 

 

(3)

neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on their behalf engaged in any directed selling efforts in connection with the offer and sale of the Debentures;

If the Transferee acquires the Debentures pursuant to a resale transaction pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, then the Transferee acknowledges that the Debentures still continue to be deemed restricted securities and will continue to bear restrictive legends.

 

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing a restrictive legend shall also bear such legend unless in the opinion of counsel for the holder thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its transfer agent), the securities represented thereby are not, at such time, required by law to bear such legend.

 

The Transferee acknowledges that it shall notify the Company prior to any transfer of the Debentures if the representations, warranties and certifications contained in the Form of Transfer are no longer true and correct.
