Principal and interest on the Debentures are payable, at the option of the Company, in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), valued at (i) the Market Price thereof, as defined below, in the case of interest, and (ii) the conversion price on the date of payment of principal, as described below, in the case of principal. The Debentures are convertible into Common Stock of the Company commencing at any time on or after 60 days after the date of their issuance. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of $15/16 per share (which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of the Debentures) or the Market Price on the date of conversion or payment of principal multiplied by a percentage which is determined based on the date of conversion or payment of principal and decreases on a sliding scale ranging from 75% if such date occurs more than 60 and not more than 90 days after the original issue date of the Debentures) to 65% if such date occurs more than 180 days after such original issue date.
