(3) OPTIONAL CONVERSION.

 

(a) Optional Conversion. At any time until the Principal Amount plus any unpaid and accrued interest is paid in full, this Debenture shall be convertible at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time into that number of Common Shares of the Company (“Conversion Shares”) as is determined in accordance with this Section.

 

(b) Change of Control Transaction. In the event of a Change of Control Transaction prior to the conversion or the repayment of this Debenture, at the closing of such Change of Control, the Holder may elect that either: (i) the Company will pay the holder of such Debenture an amount equal to the Principal Amount plus any unpaid and accrued interest or (ii) such Debenture will convert into that number of Conversion Shares as is determined in accordance with this Section.

 

(c) Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the Principal Amount to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that is two business days after such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder.

 

(d) Partial Conversion. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount in an amount equal to the amount converted. The Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion based on a discrepancy in the Principal Amount to be converted, or other invalidity of the Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(e) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.386, subject to adjustment herein pursuant to Section 3(g)(the “Conversion Price”).

 

(f) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate of the outstanding Principal Amount plus any unpaid and accrued interest, by (y) the Conversion Price. The Conversion Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable upon issuance.

 

(ii) Surrender of Debenture. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire Principal Amount has been so converted in which case the Holder shall surrender this Debenture as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the Company’s obligation to deliver the Conversion Shares on the Share Delivery Date.

 

(iii) Delivery of Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a book entry statement representing the Conversion Shares. Provided, however, if Conversion Shares have been duly registered under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or if the Conversion Date is on or after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date and if the Conversion Shares or interest Shares shall be free of trading restrictions, the Company may deliver any Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 3(b)(6) electronically through the Depository Trust Company, or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

(iv) Failure to Deliver Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion or Company Notice of Conversion, such Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Share Delivery Date (provided the Holder gave accurate delivery instructions), the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company any Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice but received by the Holder after such rescission.

 

(v) Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a Share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole Share.

 

(vi) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

(vii) Conversion Share Reserve. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares a reserve of shares equal to the number of Conversion Shares required for full conversion of the Principal Amount hereunder, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder.

 

(g) Certain Adjustments.

 

(i) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Shares, (ii) subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of Shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of Shares, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(ii) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3(g) shall be made to the nearest 1/100th of a cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3(7), the number of Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

(iii) Notice to the Holder; Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3(7), the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Conversion Shares, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the October 2026 Debentures, together with any other shares of Common Stock required to be aggregated therewith under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, would exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue without stockholder approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained; and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such stockholder approval if and to the extent required.

 

(i) Share Reservation. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a reserve of shares equal to the number of shares required for full exercise of the securities offered under the Securities Purchase Agreement, , free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (the “Minimum Reserve”). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable. The Company shall take commercially reasonable steps to authorize additional shares upon reasonable request.
