Exhibit 10.8
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND TRANSFER OF
SUCH SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. BORROWER RESERVES
THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE
BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER.
STAN LEE MEDIA, INC.
8% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE APRIL 11, 2000
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, STAN LEE MEDIA, INC., a Colorado corporation
("Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to VMR LUXEMBOURG, S.A. ("Holder"), the
principal sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), on April 11, 2000
("Maturity Date"), and to pay interest thereon at the rate of eight percent (8%)
per annum from the date hereof until paid. Interest shall be payable in one lump
sum at the time of payment of the unpaid principal, and interest shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. This
Debenture is the sole authorized Debenture of the Borrower, designated as its 8%
Convertible Debenture Due April 11, 2000, limited to $500,000 aggregate
principal amount (the "Convertible Debenture"). As additional consideration
therefor, Holder shall be entitled to warrants to purchase shares of Borrower's
Common Stock as more particularly set forth in that certain Warrant Agreement of
even date herewith attached hereto.
I. PAYMENT; PREPAYMENT
Principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in one lump sum
not later than the earlier to occur of (x) the Maturity Date, and (y) 60 days
following the receipt by the Borrower of equity financing in an amount not less
than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). In addition, Borrower may prepay the full
amount or a portion of the balance of principal and interest on this Debenture
then remaining unpaid at any time before such payment comes due, without
penalty.
II. CONVERSION
SECTION 2.01. Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right until the
earlier to occur of prepayment of this Debenture and April 11, 2000, to convert
the principal amount of this Debenture, or any portion of any principal amount
hereof, at a conversion price equal to $7.00 principal amount for one fully paid
and nonassessable share of Common Stock, no par value, of Borrower. Upon the
surrender hereof accompanied by Holder's written request for conversion
substantially in the form of Annex I attached hereto at the principal office of
Borrower, Borrower shall pay all interest accrued hereon to the date of
conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior
to the close of business on the date on which Borrower shall have received a
valid request to convert. If only a portion of this Debenture is converted,
Borrower shall deliver to the Holder a certificate for the proper number of
shares of Common Stock for the portion converted and a new Debenture in the form
hereof for the balance of the principal amount hereof.
SECTION 2.02. Authorized Shares. Borrower covenants that during the period
the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of the Common Stock upon the conversion of this Debenture. Borrower agrees that
its issuance of this Debenture shall constitute full authority to its officers
who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and
issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion
of this Debenture and a new Debenture in the form hereof for the balance of the
principal amount hereof.
III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
In case an event of default (defined as being the failure to pay the
principal and accrued interest as provided for in this Debenture) has occurred
and is continuing, all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid
hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder may be declared immediately due
and payable in the manner and in the effect and subject to the conditions
provided in this Debenture.
IV. REGISTRATION
Upon conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to piggyback registration
rights with respect to the Common Stock to be issued thereunder, as follows: If
the Borrower at any times proposes to file a registration statement under the
Act respecting any securities of the Borrower on a form appropriate for
registration of a sale of Common Stock (excluding registrations of shares of
Common Stock to be offered in connection with the Borrower's employee benefit
plans and registrations of securities to be offered by the Borrower in
connection with acquisitions, mergers or similar transactions), it will at such
time give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so. Upon the written
request of Holder given within 15 days after receipt of any such notice (which
request shall specify the Common Stock intended to be sold or disposed of by
Holder and describe the nature of any proposed sale or other disposition
thereof), the Borrower shall use its best efforts, but shall not be obligated,
to cause all such Common Stock specified in such request to be so registered. In
the event that any such registration shall be underwritten, if the underwriters
notify the Borrower in writing that the inclusion in such underwriting of such
Common Stock would materially and adversely affect the underwriting, the
Borrower shall have the right not to include such Common Stock. In any
registration pursuant to this Debenture, Holder shall pay the Borrower for the
incremental portion of the federal and state registration and filing fees
attributable to the Common Stock and shall pay all underwriting commissions,
discounts, underwriting expenses and taxes attributable to the Warrant Stock.
The Borrower shall indemnify Holder and each underwriter of Common
Stock(and any person who controls such underwriter within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act) against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and
expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in a prospectus or in any related registration
statement, notification or the like or from any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been
based upon information furnished in writing to the Borrower by Holder or such
underwriter expressly for use therein and
2
used in accordance with such writing.
Holder shall furnish to the Borrower such information concerning Holder as
may be requested by the Borrower which is necessary in connection with any
registration or qualification of Common Stock, and to indemnify the Borrower,
its officers and directors and each underwriter of the Borrower's securities
(and any person who controls the Borrower or any such underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), against all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in a prospectus or any related
registration statement, notification or the like, or omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent the same
was derived from information furnished in writing to the Borrower by Holder
expressly for use therein and used in accordance with such writing.
If any action is brought or any claim is made against any persons
indemnified pursuant to this Section in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against the indemnitor pursuant to this Section, such person shall promptly
notify the indemnitor in writing of the institution of such action or the making
of such claim and the indemnitor shall promptly notify the indemnitor in writing
of the institution of such action or the making of such claim and the indemnitor
shall assume the defense of such action or claim, including the employment of
counsel and payment of expenses. Such person shall have the right to employ his,
its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless the employment of such
counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnitor in connection
with the defense of such action or claim or the indemnitor shall not have
employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action or claim or such
indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
defenses available to him, it or them which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnitor (in which the case the indemnitor shall have
the right to direct any different or additional defense of such action or claim
on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees
and expenses of not more than one additional counsel for the indemnified person
shall be borne by the indemnitor. Except as expressly provided above, in the
event that the indemnitor shall not previously have assumed the defense of any
such action or claim, at such time as the indemnitor does not assume the defense
of such action or claim, the indemnitor shall thereafter be liable to any person
indemnified pursuant to this Section for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such person in investigating, preparing or defending
against such action or claim. Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, the indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any
such claim or action effected without its written consent.

jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the County of Los
Angeles, State of California. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT

of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

other prior oral or written agreements between the Holder, the Borrower, their

covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or
therein, neither the Borrower nor the Holder makes any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this
Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the
Borrower and the Holder, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
