2.3

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.

(ii)

Reclassification, etc .  If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the Principal Amount hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
