The Company shall not affect any conversion, and the Investor shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Debenture to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Investor (together with the Investor’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium equal to twenty percent (20%) of the principal amount being redeemed, and accrued interest.
