Section 1.05Mandatory Redemption.The Company shall begin redeeming on this Debenture monthly beginning on the four (4) month anniversary following the First Closing by making equal payments over the remaining twenty six (26) months by the Company making monthly principal and interest payments at a fifteen percent (15%) redemption premium on the principal redeemed each month. The Company shall have the option to prepay the outstanding balance at any time with the fifteen percent (15%) redemption premium.
Section 1.06Interest Payments.Holder shall deduct the first two (2) interest payments at the First Closing and shall deduct the next two (2) interest payments due on the date of the subsequent Closings from the subsequent Closing on the then outstanding balance. At the time such interest is payable, the Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect to receive the interest in cash (via wire transfer or certified funds) or in the form of Common Stock. In the event of default, as described in Article III Section 3.01 hereunder, the Holder may elect that the interest be paid in cash (via wire transfer or certified funds) or in the form of Common Stock. If paid in the form of Common Stock, the amount of stock to be issued will be calculated as follows: the value of the stock shall be the Closing Bid Price on the date the interest payment is due. A number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of interest due shall be issued. No fractional shares will be issued; therefore, in the event that the value of the Common Stock per share does not equal the total interest due, the Company will pay the balance in cash.
Section 1.07Paying Agent and Registrar.Initially, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change any paying agent, registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10) business days’ written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar. The Company may act in any such capacity.
Section 1.08Secured Nature of Debenture.This Debenture is secured by all of the assets and property of the Company and its subsdiaries as set forth on Exhibit A to the Security Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Security Agreement”). As set forth in the Security Agreement, Holder’s security interest shall terminate upon the occurrence of an Expiration Event as defined in the Security Agreement.
Section 1.08Currency Exchange Rate Protections.
(a) “Closing Date Exchange Rate” means the Euro to US dollar spot exchange
rate as quoted in the London edition of the Financial Times on the Closing Date.
(b) “Repayment Exchange Rate” means in relation to each date of a Conversion Notice or date of a Redemption Notice, the Euro to US dollar spot exchange rate as quoted by in the London edition of the Financial Times on such date.
(c) If on the date of any Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice, the Repayment Exchange Rate is less than the Closing Date Exchange Rate then the number of Shares to be issued shall be increased by the same percentage as results from dividing the Closing Date Exchange Rate by the relevant Repayment Exchange Rate. By way of example, if the number of Shares to be issued in respect of a particular Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice would, but for this Section 1.08, be 1,000 and if the Closing Date Exchange Rate is 1.80 and the relevant Repayment Exchange Rate is 1.75, then 1,029 Shares will be issued in relation to that Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice, as the case may be.

(d) If on the Repayment Date or any Interest Repayment Date, the Cash Payment Date Exchange Rate, as defined below is less than the Closing Date Exchange Rate then the amount of cash required to satisfy the amounts due at such time shall be increased by the same percentage as results from dividing the Closing Date Exchange Rate by the relevant Cash Payment Date Exchange Rate. “Cash Payment Date Exchange Rate” means in relation to each Repayment Date or Interest Repayment Date the Euro to US dollar spot exchange rate as quoted in the London edition of the Financial Times on such date. By way of example, if the amount of cash required to repay all amounts due on such date would, but for this Section 1.08, be $1,000 and if the Closing Date Exchange Rate is 1.80 and the relevant Repayment Date Exchange Rate is 1.75 then the amount of cash from the Cash Payment required to repay all amounts due on such date will be $1,028.57.
