Interest, (collectively referred to as the “Company Additional Redemption
Amount”). In order to make a redemption pursuant to this Section, the Company
shall first provide written notice to the Holder of its intention to make a
redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) setting forth the amount of Principal it
desires to redeem. After receipt of the Redemption Notice the Holder shall
have
three (3) Business Days to elect to convert all or any portion of this
Debenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(c). On the fourth
(4th) Business Day after the Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to
the
Holder the Company Additional Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal
amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions effected during the three
(3)
Business Day period.
(4) CONVERSION
OF DEBENTURE.This
Debenture shall be convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock, on
the
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.
(a) Conversion
Right.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 4(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance
Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding
and
unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(b), at the Conversion Rate
(as defined below). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be
determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price
(the "Conversion
Rate").
The
Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any
conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a
share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of
Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all
transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the
issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(i) "Conversion
Amount"
means
the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect
to which this determination is being made.
(ii) "Conversion
Price"
means,
as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination,
the
lesser of (a) $0.0002
(the
“Fixed
Conversion Price”),
subject to adjustment as provided herein, or (b) seventy five percent (75%)
of the lowest Closing Bid Price during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately
preceding the Conversion Date (the “Market
Conversion Price”).
(b) Mechanics
of Conversion.
(i) Optional
Conversion.
To
convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a
"Conversion
Date"),
the
Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt
on or
prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice
of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
I
(the
"Conversion
Notice")
to the
Company and (B) if required by Section 4(b)(iv), surrender this Debenture to
a
nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company
(or
an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with
respect to this Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On
or
before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion
Notice (the "Share
Delivery Date"),
the
Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates
of
Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and provided that
the
Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC")
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares
of
Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its
designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the
DTC
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address
as
specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of
the
Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive
legends unless required pursuant to Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement. If this Debenture is physically surrendered for conversion and the
outstanding Principal of this Debenture is greater than the Principal portion
of
the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt
of
this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new
Debenture representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person
or
Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a
conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a
Conversion Notice. In the event of a partial conversion of this Debenture
pursuant hereto, the principal amount converted shall be deducted from the
Installment Amounts relating to the Installment Dates as set forth in the
Conversion Notice.
(ii) Company's
Failure to Timely Convert.
If
within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile
copy
of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate
to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number
of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's
conversion of any Conversion Amount (a "Conversion
Failure"),
and
if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by
the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder
anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request
and
in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal
to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other
out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(the
"Buy-In
Price"),
at
which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common
Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any)
of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock,
times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.
(iii) Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion
of
any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder
shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company
unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being
converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice
(which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance
of
this Debenture upon physical surrender of this Debenture. The Holder and the
Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted
and
the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical
surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.
(c) Limitations
on Conversions.
(i) Beneficial
Ownership.
The
Company shall not effect any conversions of this Debenture and the Holder shall
not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture or receive shares
of
Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving
effect to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined
in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of
shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report
to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time
of a
conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be
beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have
the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in
this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent
that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this
Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the
Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount
of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder
or
its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess
of
the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this
fact
and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to
be
converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 4(a) and, any
principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture. The provisions of
this
Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other
Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders
shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
(d) Other
Provisions.
(i) The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of all outstanding amounts under this Debenture; and within three (3) Business
Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum
number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly
reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such
requirement.
(ii) All
calculations under this Section 4 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or
whole share.
(iii) The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of
issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this
Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other
actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less
than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any
additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set
forth in this Debenture or in the Transaction Documents) be issuable (taking
into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein) upon the
conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment
of
interest hereunder. 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 and, if the Underlying Shares Registration
Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered
for
public sale in accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration
Statement.
(iv) Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an
Event
of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Company 's failure to deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the
period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all
remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without
the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such
rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant
to
any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(5) Adjustments
to Conversion Price
(a) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
If the
Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, issues or sells,
or in
accordance with this Section 5(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
of Common Stock, excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
or
sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities, for a
consideration per share (the “New
Issuance Price”)
less
than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issue or sale (such price the "Applicable
Price")
(the
foregoing a "Dilutive
Issuance"),
then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes
of
determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 5(a), the following
shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per
share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such
Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section, the "lowest
price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise
of
any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum
of
the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale
of
the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or
exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon
the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of
such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section, the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise" shall be equal to the
sum
of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or
sale
of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise
of
such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall
be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion
or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue
or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant
to
other provisions of this Section, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
into
or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the
Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to
the
Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section, if the terms
of
any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance
Date
are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then
such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued
as
of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment
would
result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(iv) Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (x) the aggregate
fair
market value of such Options and other securities issued or sold in such
integrated transaction, less (y) the fair market value of the securities other
than such Option, issued or sold in such transaction and the other securities
issued or sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have been issued
or sold for the balance of the consideration received by the Company. If any
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed
to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will
be
deemed to be the gross amount raised by the Company; provided, however, that
such gross amount is not greater than 110% of the net amount received by the
Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value
of
such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities,
in
which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
Closing Bid Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the
non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is
the
surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be
the
fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving
entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than
cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder.
If
such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the
occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation
Event"),
the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th)
day
following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser
shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees
and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v) Record
Date.
If the
Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common
Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will
be
deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the 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.
(b) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common
Stock.
If the
Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall (a) pay a
stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares
of
its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in
shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a
larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d)
issue
by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock 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 of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding 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.
(c) Purchase
Rights.
If at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to
the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"),
then
the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) 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.
(d) Other
Events.
If any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but
not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights
with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an
appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights
of
the Holder under this Debenture; provided that no such adjustment will increase
the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
5.
(e) Other
Corporate Events.
In
addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to
the
consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares
of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate
Event"),
the
Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, at
the
Holder's option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon
such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would
have
been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of
Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate
Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
convertibility of this Debenture) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock
otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets
received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the
consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have
been entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with
conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares
of
Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with
the
Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
in a
form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of
this
Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and
shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or
redemption of this Debenture.
(f) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company
shall
promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such
adjustment.
(g) In
case
of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company
in
one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A)
exercise any rights under Section 2(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of
this
Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash
and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled
upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of
securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such
aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been converted
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been
entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving
entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture then held by such
Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon,
which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms identical
(including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and
shall
be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture
set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures were
issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the
newly
issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures shall
be
based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common
Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction.
The
terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so
as
to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and
property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following
such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such
events.
(6) REISSUANCE
OF THIS DEBENTURE.
(a) Transfer.
If this
Debenture is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture to
the
Company, whereupon the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the transfer

Principal remaining outstanding under this Debenture immediately prior to such
issuance of new Debentures), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated
on
the face of such new Debenture, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this
Debenture, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Debenture,

the
principal of, interest and other charges (if any) on, this Debenture at the
time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This
Debenture is a direct obligation of the Company. As long as this Debenture

without the consent of the Holder, (i) amend its certificate of incorporation,
bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of the
Holder; (ii) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise

foregoing.

Debenture shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder
of
the Company, including without limitation, the right to vote, to receive
dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend,
meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and
to
the extent converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(10) No
indebtedness of the Company is senior to this Debenture in right of payment,
whether with respect to interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution
or
otherwise. Without the Holder’s consent, the Company will not and will not
permit any of their subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness 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 there from that is senior in any
respect to the obligations of the Company under this Debenture.

Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New Jersey, without giving effect to conflicts of laws thereof. Each

the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the Superior Courts of the State

protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights or remedies of the
Holder.
(13) Any
waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not
operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision
or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of the
Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one
or
more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the
right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other
term
of this Debenture. Any waiver must be in writing.
(14) If
any
provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance
of
this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable
to
any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all
other
persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other
amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing
usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be
lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist
upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or
forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or
interest on this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or
at
any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully
do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and
covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded
the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been
enacted.
(15) Whenever
any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than
a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day.
(16) THE
PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY
