Debenture Issuance Date: November 23, 2018
Debenture Number: TRPX-1
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, THERAPIX BIOSCIENCES LTD., a company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of YA II PN, Ltd., or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the amount set out above as the Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate from the date set out above as the Debenture Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), the Maturity Date or acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Convertible Debenture (including all debentures issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Debenture”) was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 14, 2018, as amended (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Buyers listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section (15).
(1)GENERAL TERMS
(a)Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Debenture. The “Maturity Date” shall be November 22, 2019. Other than as specifically permitted by this Debenture, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest.
(b)Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to 5% (“Interest Rate”). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Interest shall be paid on the Maturity Date, or sooner as provided for in this Debenture (each, an “Interest Date”).
(c)Default Interest. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to 15% per annum. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure.
(d)Optional Redemption. The Company at its option shall have the right to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) a portion of or all amounts outstanding under this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date as set forth in this section (1)(d). The Company shall pay an amount equal to the Principal amount being redeemed plus the applicable Redemption Premium, and accrued Interest, (collectively referred to as the “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, provided that the Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Holder, provide a Redemption Notice at any time during which the price of the ADSs are trading above the Fixed Conversion Price. After receipt of the Redemption Notice the Holder shall have 5 Business Days to elect to convert all or any portion of this Debenture, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in accordance with the terms herein. On the 6th Business Day after the Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions effected during the 5 Business Day period.

(iii) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall default in any of its obligations under any other debenture or any mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in an amount exceeding $200,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created and such default is not cured within five (5) Business Days;

(vi) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days; or
(vii) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Debentures) occurs with respect to any Other Debentures.

(b) During the time that any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the full unpaid Principal amount of this Debenture, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert this Debenture (subject to the beneficial ownership limitations set out in Section (3)(c)(i)) at any time after (x) an Event of Default (provided that such Event of Default is continuing) or (y) the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, (other than required notice of conversion) and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(3)CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE. This Debenture shall be convertible into the Company’s ordinary shares, which would be deposited for delivery of ADSs, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (3).
(a)Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section (3)(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 ordinary shares in accordance with Section (3)(b), at the Conversion Price (as defined below). The Company will deposit such ordinary shares and cause the deliver of ADSs to the Holder. The number of ADSs issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (3)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price. No fraction of an ADS will be delivered upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an ADS, the Company shall round such fraction of an ADS up to the nearest whole ADS. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of ADSs upon conversion of any Conversion Amount except that the Holder shall be responsible for all conversion fees imposed by The Bank of New York Mellon (the depositary and issuer of the ADSs).
(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal and accrued Interest 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 (i) $7.00 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), or (ii) if applicable and subject to the provisions of Section 5(a) below, 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date or other date of determination (the “Variable Conversion Price”), if such amount is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Debenture.
4
(b)Mechanics of Conversion.
(i)Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into ADSs 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 asExhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section (3)(b)(iii), 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 the Conversion Date is after the Transfer Restriction Termination Date and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deposit Ordinary Shares and instruct the Depositary to credit such aggregate number of ADSs to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal and Custodian system or (Y) if the Conversion Date is on or prior to the Resale Restriction Date or the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deposit Ordinary Shares and instruct the Depositary to 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 ADSs to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall bear restrictive legends unless required pursuant to rules and regulations of the Commission if the Conversion Date is on or prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. 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 ADSs issuable upon a conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such ADSs upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding anything in this clause (i) to the contrary, the procedures herein may be substituted for the then commonly used procedures for issuances of ADSs by BNY.
(ii)Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice a certificate is not delivered to the Holder and the Holder’s balance account with DTC is not credited for the number of ADSs 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) ADSs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of ADSs 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 ADSs so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such ADSs) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such ADSs 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 ADSs, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.
5
(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.
(iv) “Resale Restriction Termination Date” means the date on which the Depositary has received either (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company satisfactory to the Depositary to the effect that all the Debentures and all of the Ordinary Shares previously issued upon Conversions (if any) may be resold publicly in the United States free of all restrictions and conditions under the Securities Act of 1933 or (ii) confirmation that (x) a resale registration statement is effective and available on the relevant sale date, (y) the converting holder is listed as a selling shareholder in the resale prospectus and (z) the converting holder has sold ADSs concurrently with the conversion. The Company expects that the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be one year after the date of issue of the Debentures or earlier if at least six months have passed since the issuance of the Debentures and the Company has filed the necessary reports under the Exchange Act.
(c)Limitations on Conversions.
(i)Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture or otherwise receive ADSs or Ordinary Shares hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such ADSs or Ordinary Shares, 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 Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of ADSs representing beneficial ownership in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares without regard to any other ADSs or Ordinary 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, provided however, upon the request of the Company, the Holder shall report its holdings in ADSs and Ordinary Shares to the Company. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other ADSs or Ordinary 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 3(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.
6
(ii)Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any ADSs upon conversion of this Debenture, and the Holder of this Debenture shall not have the right to receive upon conversion of this Debenture any ADSs, if the issuance of such ADSs would exceed the aggregate number of ADSs which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Debentures without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the applicable Eligible Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of such Eligible Market for issuances of ADSs in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.
(iii)Limitations on Variable Conversion Price. With respect to any Conversion Notice delivered prior to the earlier of (i) an FSD Termination Event, or (ii) March 1, 2019, the Variable Conversion Price shall not apply. Thereafter, in each calendar month the Holder shall not be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount at a Conversion Price based on the Variable Conversion Price in excess of the Holder’s Applicable Monthly Limit.
(4)ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE
(a)Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of ADSs. 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 its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares which results in an increase in the number of outstanding ADSs, (b) subdivide outstanding ADSs into a larger number of ADSs, (c) combine (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding ADSs into a smaller number of ADSs, or (d) issue additional ADSs by reclassification of ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of ADSs (excluding treasury ADSs, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of ADSs outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders 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.
(b) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 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.
7
(5)RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.
(a)Completion of FSD Acquisition. During the period between the execution of this Debenture and the Maturity Date, immediately upon the consummation of the FSD Acquisition, the Holder of this Debenture shall automatically receive the FSD Acquisition consideration per ADS corresponding to the number ADSs that this Debenture could then be converted into (without respect to the ownership limitations in Section 3(c)(i), or any other conversion limitations set forth herein) at the Fixed Conversion Price.
Upon consummation of the FSD Acquisition, the Holder will receive its applicable share of FSD Acquisition consideration (consisting of FSD Shares and/or cash, or as otherwise provided under the final terms of the Merger Agreement) and this Debenture shall be retired. If the Holder receives FSD Shares, it agrees to enter into any lock up agreement that would be required of similarly situated shareholders.
(b)Assumption for Fundamental Transaction other than the FSD Acquisition. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section (5) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Debentures in exchange for such Debentures a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Debentures, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Debentures then outstanding held by such holder, having similar conversion rights and having similar ranking to the Debentures, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (a “Public Successor Entity”). Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Debenture at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the ADSs (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Debentures prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Debenture. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Debenture.
8
(c)Redemption Right. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending twenty (20) Trading Days after the date of the consummation of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Debenture by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Debenture subject to redemption pursuant to this Section (5)(c) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 130% of the sum of (x) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) the amount of any accrued but unpaid Interest on such Conversion Amount being redeemed through the date of such redemption payment and (ii) the product of (x) 130% and (y) the sum of (1) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per ADS to be paid to the holders upon consummation of the Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration consisting of marketable securities to be valued at the average Closing Bid Price of such securities as of the five (5) Trading Days following the first two (2) full Trading Days days after the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control) by (II) the Conversion Price plus (2) the amount of any accrued but unpaid Interest on such Conversion Amount being redeemed through the date of such redemption payment, (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section (5), but subject to Section (3)(c), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section (5)(c) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into ADSs pursuant to Section (3).
(d)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 ADSs are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for ADSs (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 ADSs receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such ADSs had such ADSs 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 ADSs otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of ADSs 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 at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Price. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. 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.
9
(6)REISSUANCE OF THIS DEBENTURE.
(a)Transfer. This Debenture and any ADSs issued upon conversion of this Debenture may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the consent of the Company, subject only to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. If this Debenture is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section (6)(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof) and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Debenture (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section (3)(b)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Debenture, the outstanding Principal represented by this Debenture may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Debenture.
(b)Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Debenture. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Debenture, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Debenture, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c)Debenture Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Debenture or Debentures (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Debenture, and each such new Debenture will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(d)Issuance of New Debentures. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Debenture pursuant to the terms of this Debenture, such new Debenture (i) shall be of like tenor with this Debenture, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Debenture being issued pursuant to Section (6)(a) or Section (6)(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the Principal represented by the other new Debentures issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the 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, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest from the Issuance Date.
(7)COVENANTS.
(a)Rank. This Debenture and all Other Debentures shall be unsecured obligations of the Company, and all payments due under this Debenture shall rankpari passu with all Other Debentures.
(b)Non circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Debenture, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Debenture and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Debenture.
10
(8)RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
(a)Reservation. The Company shall, so long as any of the Debentures are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Debentures, at least 300% of the number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Debentures then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”).
(b)Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Debentures remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Ordinary Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures at least a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Debentures then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy or information statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal.
