Absent the prior written approval of a majority of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, the Company shall not use any portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Debentures to (i) repay any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company incurred prior to the date of this Agreement outside the normal course of business, (ii) pay any dividends or redemption amount on any of the Company’s equity or equity equivalents or (iii) pay deferred compensation or any compensation to any of the directors or officers of the Company in excess of the rate or amount paid or accrued during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, other than modest increases consistent with prior practice that are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.







g. Available Shares.  Commencing on the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall have and maintain authorized and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, that number of shares equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the number of shares of Common Stock (1) issuable based upon the Conversion Price of the then-outstanding Debentures (including accrued interest thereon) as may be required to satisfy the conversion rights of the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debenture and (2) issuable to the Buyer on future Closing Dates, based upon the lowest closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on the date before the most recent Closing Date (as reported by Bloomberg LP). The Company shall monitor its compliance with the foregoing requirements on an ongoing basis.  If at any time the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Shares required to be reserved pursuant to this Section, then the Company shall, without notice or demand by the Buyer, call within thirty (30) days of such occurrence and hold within sixty (60) days of such occurrence a special meeting of shareholders, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized.  Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized at the meeting.  Members of the Company’s management shall also vote all of their own shares in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized at the meeting.  If the increase in authorized shares is approved by the stockholders at the meeting, the Company shall implement the increase in authorized shares within one (1) business day following approval at such meeting within ten (10) business days following approval at such meeting.  Alternatively, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in lieu of calling and holding a meeting as described above, the Company may, within thirty (30) days of the date when the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Shares required to be reserved as described above, procure the written consent of stockholders to increase the number of shares authorized, and provide the stockholders with notice thereof as may be required under applicable law (including without limitation Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C thereunder).  Upon obtaining stockholder approval as aforesaid, the Company shall cause the appropriate increase in its authorized shares of Common Stock within one (1) business day (or as soon thereafter as permitted by applicable law). Company’s failure to comply with these provisions will be an Event of Default.

h. Reimbursement.  If (i) Buyer becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by any stockholder of the Company, in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (ii) the Buyer, other than by reason of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law, becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by the SEC against or involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the Company will reimburse the Buyer for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and `preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliates of the Buyer who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling Persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Buyer and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Buyer and any such Affiliate and any such Person.  Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, the Company also agrees that neither any Buyer nor any such Affiliate, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the Transaction Documents except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Buyer or  from a breach of the representations, covenants and conditions contained herein or from a breach of law.







i.  No New Indebtedness or Liens.  So long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall not, absent the prior written consent of the Buyer and (if any person other than the Buyer then holds any portion of the Debenture), the holders of all Debentures then outstanding, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom that is senior to the Company’s obligations under the Debentures, other than purchase money security interests granted to suppliers to the Company and any of the foregoing that are made in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.







j. No Payments to Affiliates or Related Parties.  So long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding if the Debentures are in default, the Company shall not, absent the prior written consent of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding, make any payments to any of the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ respective affiliates or related parties, including without limitation payments or prepayments of principal or interest accrued on any indebtedness or obligation in favor of affiliates or related parties.

5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.







a. Transfer Agent Instruction Letter.  The Company shall at all times while any Debentures are outstanding engage a Transfer Agent.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent is West Coast Stock Transfer Inc. On or before the Signing Closing Date and each subsequent Closing Date, the Company will irrevocably instruct its Transfer Agent in writing using the letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto, executed by the Company, the Buyer, and the Transfer Agent on each Closing Date (the “Transfer Agent Instruction Letter”), to (i) reserve that number of shares of Common Stock as is required under Section 4(h) hereof, and (ii) issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Debentures in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company to the Transfer Agent, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 4(b) of this Agreement prior to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, registered in the name of the Buyer or its permitted assigns and in such denominations to be specified by the Buyer in connection with each conversion of the Debentures.   The Transfer Agent shall not be restricted from issuing shares from only the allotment reserved for the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Debentures), but instead may, to the extent necessary to satisfy the amount of shares issuable upon conversion, issue shares above and beyond the amount reserved on account of the Conversion Amount, without any additional instructions or authorization from the Company, and the Company shall not provide the Transfer Agent with any instructions or documentation contrary to the foregoing. The Company shall continuously monitor its compliance with the share reservation requirements and, if and to the extent necessary to increase the number of reserved shares to remain and be at least three hundred percent (300%) of the Conversion Amount to account for any decrease in the market price of the Common Stock, the Company shall immediately (and in any event within two (2) business days) notify the Transfer Agent in writing of the reservation of such additional shares, provided that in the event that the number of shares reserved for conversion of the Debentures is less than three hundred percent (300%) of the Conversion Amount, the Buyer may also directly instruct the Transfer Agent to increase the reserved shares as necessary to satisfy the minimum reserved share requirement, and the Transfer Agent shall act accordingly, provided, further, that the Company shall within two (2) business days provide any written confirmation, assent or documentation thereof as the Transfer Agent may request to act upon a share increase instruction delivered by the Buyer.  The Company shall provide the Buyer with a copy of all written instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent with respect to the reservation of shares simultaneously with the issuance of such instructions to the Transfer Agent.  The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to registration and sale of the Converted Shares under the 1933 Act will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent and that the Converted Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and applicable law.  If the Buyer provides the Company and/or the Transfer Agent with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement) permit the de-legending or transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Converted Shares, instruct the Company’s Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.







b. Conversion.  (i) The Company will permit the Buyer to exercise the right to convert the Debentures by telecopying, emailing overnight delivery an executed and completed Notice of Conversion to the Company and/or the Transfer Agent.  If so requested by the Buyer, the Company will within one (1) business day respond with its endorsement so as to confirm the outstanding principal amount of any Debenture submitted for conversion or shall reconcile any difference with the Buyer promptly after receiving such Notice of Conversion.







(ii) The term “Conversion Date” means, with respect to any conversion elected by the holder of the Debentures, the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided the copy of the Notice of Conversion is given either via mail or facsimile to or otherwise delivered to the Transfer Agent and/or the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof so that it is received by the Transfer Agent and/or the Company on or before such specified date.







(iii) The Company will transmit (or will cause the Transfer Agent to transmit) the certificates representing the Converted Shares issuable upon conversion of any Debentures (together, unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer, with Debentures not being so converted) to the Buyer at the address specified in the Notice of Conversion (which may be the Buyer’s address for notices as contemplated by Section 10 hereof or a different address) via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise, within two (2) business days (the “Delivery Date”) after (A) the business day on which the Company has received the Notice of Conversion (by facsimile or other delivery) or (B) the date on which payment of interest and principal on the Debentures, which the Company has elected to pay by the issuance of Common Stock, as contemplated by the Debentures, was due, as the case may be.








  





-11-











  








c. Failure to Timely Issue Conversion Shares.  From and after the date on which the Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the failure to issue unrestricted, freely tradable Conversion Shares to the Buyer upon Conversion shall be considered a non-curable Event of Default, which, accordingly, shall entitle the Buyer(s) whose Debentures are being converted to demand that the Debentures held by the Buyer(s) be immediately redeemed in full by a cash payment equal to one hundred forty percent (140%) of the aggregate of the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on such Debentures (whether or not the terms of such Debentures expressly permit the redemption thereof).  The Company acknowledges that its failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall cause definable financial hardship on the Buyer(s).







d. Duties of Company; Authorization.  The Company shall inform the Transfer Agent of the reservation of shares contemplated by Section 4(h) and this Section 5, and shall keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent such that the Transfer Agent will continue to process share transfers and the initial issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Debentures.  The Company hereby authorizes the Transfer Agent to correspond and otherwise communicate with the Buyer or their representatives in connection with the foregoing and other matters related to the Common Stock.  Further, the Company hereby authorizes the Buyer or its representative to provide instructions to the Transfer Agent that are consistent with the foregoing and instructs the Transfer Agent to honor any such instructions.  Should the Company fail for any reason to keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent, the Buyer may pay such amounts as are necessary to compensate the Transfer Agent for performing its duties with respect to share reservation and/or de-legending certificates representing Restricted Stock, and all amounts so paid shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company.  If not so reimbursed within thirty (30) days, such amounts shall, at the option of the Buyer and without prior notice to or consent of the Company, be added to the principal amount due under the Debenture(s) held by the Buyer, whereupon interest will begin to accrue on such amounts at the rate specified in the Debentures.







e. Effect of Bankruptcy.  The Buyer shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Debentures notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the Buyer’s conversion privilege.  The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Debentures.  The Company agrees, without cost or expense to the Buyer, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.
