PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; METHOD OF PAYMENT


 


1.1.         Payment of Principal and Interest.  Payment of the principal and accrued interest on this Debenture shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.  Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the number of days elapsed) on the unpaid portion of said principal amount from time to time outstanding shall be paid by the Company at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, in like coin and currency, or at the option of the Company in shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), payable to the Payee in annual installments on each July 7 during the term of this Debenture (an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first Interest Payment Date hereunder scheduled to be July 7, 2012 and the last Interest Payment Date to be on the Maturity Date.  Interest shall accrue from the Issuance Date.  Both principal hereof and interest thereon are payable at the Holder’s address above or such other address as the Holder shall designate from time to time by written notice to the Company.  The Company will pay or cause to be paid all sums becoming due hereon for principal and interest by check, sent to the Holder’s above address or to such other address as the Holder may designate for such purpose from time to time by written notice to the Company, without any requirement for the presentation of this Debenture or making any notation thereon, except that the Holder hereof agrees that payment of the final amount due shall be made only upon surrender of this Debenture to the Company for cancellation.


 




  





 











  




 




If the Company elects to pay the interest due on a particular Interest Payment Date in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), the number of shares issued as payment of the accrued interest shall be equal to the quotient of the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest divided by the Market Price (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof) on the Interest Payment Date.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon the payment of accrued interest, but a payment in cash will be made, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable in connection with the payment of accrued interest in shares of Common Stock.


 


Prior to any sale or other disposition of this instrument, the Holder hereof agrees to endorse hereon the amount of principal paid hereon and the last date to which interest has been paid hereon and to notify the Company of the name and address of the transferee in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 of this Debenture.

All payments received by the Holder shall be applied first to the payment of all accrued interest payable hereunder.

As soon as practicable following conversion and upon the Holder’s compliance with the conversion procedures described in Section 2.3 hereof, the Company shall deliver a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and a check for any fractional share and, in the event this Debenture is converted in part, a new Debenture of like tenor in the principal amount equal to the remaining principal balance of this Debenture after giving effect to such partial conversion.


 


2.2.         Conversion into Common Stock at Option of Company.  In the event that:  (a) there shall be a  consolidation, merger or acquisition of the Company with, into or by any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, acquisition or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Company’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or acquisition, by vote or value, on a fully diluted basis, or (b) the Market Price (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof) of the Common Stock on any day is equal to or greater than $0.25 per share, at the option of the Company, the principal of this Debenture, in whole or in part, shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 2.6.

The Company shall convert this Debenture upon surrender thereof for conversion properly endorsed and accompanied by a properly completed and executed Conversion Notice attached hereto as Attachment II and any documentation deemed necessary by the Company showing the availability of an exemption under applicable state and federal securities laws.  Subject to the terms of this Debenture, upon surrender of this Debenture, the Company shall issue and deliver with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Holder of this Debenture and in such name or names as such Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock due to such Holder upon the conversion of this Debenture.  The person or persons to whom such certificate or certificates are issued by the Company shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of the surrender of this Debenture.  Upon conversion, the Holder will be required to execute and deliver any documentation deemed necessary by the Company showing the availability of an exemption under applicable state and federal securities laws.


 


2.4.         Covenants.


 


(a)          Issuance and Shares of Common Stock upon Conversion.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued under this Debenture if fully converted.  The Company also covenants that all of the shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall, at the time of delivery, and, subject to Section 2.4(c) hereof, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than those which the Company shall promptly pay or discharge).


 


(b)          Restrictive Legend.  Each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder following the conversion of this Debenture shall bear the following restrictive legend or a similar legend until such time as the transfer of such security is not restricted under the federal securities laws:


 


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (II) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER SUCH ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES), OR (III) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IF SUCH OPINION SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.


 


2.5.         Adjustment of Conversion Price and Number of Underlying Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:


 


(a)         Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Debenture effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock or combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that each Holder of conversion rights under this Debenture shall have the right to convert his, her or its interests into the number of shares of Common Stock which he, she or it would have owned after the event had such shares of Common Stock been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.  Any adjustment under this Section 2.4(a) shall become effective as of the date and time such subdivision or combination becomes effective.


 


(b)        No Impairment.  The Company will not, through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company.

(c)         Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, or in any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock (such rights or options or warrants being herein called “Options”) or in any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”) or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.


 


(d)         Actions to Maintain Conversion Price Above Par Value.  Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price such that, upon conversion of this Debenture, shares of Common Stock with par value, if any, would be deemed to be issued below the then par value of the Common Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be reasonable necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price as so adjusted.


 


(e)         Certificate of Adjustment.  In any case of an adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, the chief financial officer or the president of the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare and sign a certificate showing such adjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Debenture at the Holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books.  The certificate shall set forth such adjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the number of shares of Common Stock and the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of this Debenture.

In the event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, (ii) any reclassification or recapitalization of Common Stock outstanding involving a change in Common Stock or (iii) any consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof) and any transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets of another Person with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock (being herein called a “Change of Control”) or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder of this Debenture, not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company shall close, the record date specified therein or the effective date thereof as the case may be, a notice specifying (A) the material terms and conditions of the proposed action, (B) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (C) the date on which any such Change in Control, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (D) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Change of Control, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.


 


(g)        Notices.  Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 2.6 shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon delivery if delivered personally or by a recognized commercial courier with receipt acknowledged, or upon the expiration of seventy-two (72) hours after the same has been deposited in the United States mail, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the Holder at his, her or its address appearing on the books of the Company.

ARTICLE III


REGISTRATION RIGHTS


 


3.1.         Incidental Registration. If at any time after the Issuance Date, the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act by registration on any form other than Form S-4 or S-8, whether or not for sale for its own account, it shall each such time give prompt written notice to the Holder of its intention to do so and of the Holder’s registration rights under this Article III. Upon the written request of the Holder, made as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities as such term is defined in Section 4.1 hereof, intended to be disposed of by the Holder and the intended method of disposition), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, in the Registration Statement, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Holder to the extent required to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods thereof described as aforesaid; provided, however, immediately upon notification to the Company from the managing underwriter of the price at which such securities are to be sold, if such price is below the price which the Holder shall have indicated to be acceptable to it, the Company shall so advise the Holder of such price, and the Holder shall then have the right to withdraw its request to have its Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement; provided, further, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, (a) give written notice of such determination not to register, and thereby be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the registration expenses in connection therewith), and (b) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.


 


If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering under this Section 3.1 shall inform the Company by letter that, in its opinion, the number or type of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration would adversely affect such offering, and the Company has so advised the Holder in writing, then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent of the number and type that the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering, first, all securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account, and second, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Debenture and all other securities proposed to be registered, pro rata, based on the number of securities proposed to be registered.


 


3.2.         Obligations of the Company.  In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Company shall:


 


(a)         prepare a Registration Statement and file it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),  and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective, which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;


 


(b)         prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement for a period of nine (9) months;


 




  





5











  






 


(c)         furnish to the Holder such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, and such other documents, as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Holder;


 


(d)        use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions reasonably requested by the Holder, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions all required amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times the Registration Statement is in effect, and (iv) take all other actions necessary or advisable to enable the disposition of such securities in all such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Article III;


 


(e)        use its best efforts to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct any untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Holder as he, she or it may reasonably request;


 


(f)         promptly notify the Holder (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time;


 


(g)        provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement; and


 


(h)       cooperate with the Holder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Holder may reasonably request.


 


3.3.         Obligations of the Holder.


 


(a)        It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Debenture with respect to the Holder that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents and agreements in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.  At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Holder of the information the Company requires from he, she or it (the “Requested Information”) if he, she or it elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.  If within three (3) Business Days of the filing date the Company has not received the Requested Information from the Holder, then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of the Holder.


 


(b)        The Holder, by its, his or her acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder.


 


(c)        In the event of an underwritten offering, the Holder agrees to enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and to take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless the Holder has decided not to participate.

(d)       The Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.2(e), the Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until its, his or her receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.2(e) and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in its, his or her possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.


 


3.4.         Expenses of Registration.  In connection with any and all registrations pursuant to Article III, all expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registration, filings or qualifications, including, without limitation, all registration, listing, filing and qualification fees, printing and accounting fees and costs, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company.


 


3.5.         Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Debenture:


 


(a)       To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder (in such capacity) and its members, managers, directors, officers and/or agents, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder, and each person, if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities (joint or several) (collectively, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”); (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.5(d) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Holder, and each such other person entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5, as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, whether or not such Claim, investigation or proceeding is brought or initiated by the Company or a third party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 3.5(a) shall not (i) apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any failure of the Holder to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act; or (ii) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder as provided herein.


 


(b)       In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Holder is participating in such capacity, the Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 3.5(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter (each, also an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and the Holder shall promptly reimburse an Indemnified Party, as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, whether or not such Claim, investigation or proceeding is brought or initiated by the Indemnified Party or a third party; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)       The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnification from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers, and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution to the same extent as provided above, with respect to information about such persons so furnished in writing by such persons expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement.


 


(d)        Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.5, deliver to an indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly given notice, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its, his or her own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such party, representation of such party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The Company shall pay for only one legal counsel for the Holder and any Indemnified Party related thereto; such legal counsel shall be selected by the Holder or such other Indemnified Party subject to the Company’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to another under this Section 3.5, except to the extent that such failure to notify results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantive rights or defenses.  The indemnification required by this Section 3.5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.


 


3.6          Contribution.  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which, he, she or it would otherwise be liable under Section 3.5 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under Section 3.5, (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning used in the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (c) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
