”) of the
Company shall for 10 consecutive trading days following such date

Mechanics of
Automatic Conversion Upon the occurrence of
either of the events specified in Section 3(a) above, this
Note shall be converted into Common Stock automatically without any
further action by Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be obligated to issue a certificate or certificates evidencing
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of this
Note (“ Conversion
Shares ”) unless the original
of this Note is delivered to the Company, or Holder notifies the
Company in writing that such original of this Note has been lost,
stolen or destroyed, and Holder executes an agreement satisfactory
to the Company to, among other things, indemnify the Company from
any loss incurred by the Company in connection with such original
of this Note. Upon surrender by Holder to the Company of the
original of this Note at the office of the Company, there shall be
issued and delivered to Holder promptly at such office and in
Holder’s name as shown on the original of this Note, a
certificate or certificates for the applicable number of Conversion
Shares on the Conversion Date. Any such certificate shall
bear a conspicuous legend similar to that set forth on page 1 of
this Note (insofar as applicable) and otherwise referring to
reiterating the restrictions on transfer and other terms hereof
applicable to the Conversion Shares upon issuance.

Shares . The number of Common
Shares resulting from a conversion of this Note pursuant to
Section 3(a) above shall be rounded up to the next higher
integral share of Common Stock, and no fractional shares shall be
issuable by the Company upon conversion of this Note.
Conversion of this Note shall be deemed payment in full of this
Note and this Note shall thereupon be cancelled.

of payment to the indebtedness evidenced from time to time by the
other of the Offered Notes (as defined below) and to any other
convertible debt securities of the Company now or hereafter
existing and so providing, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby
ranks senior in right of payment to all classes and series of the
Company’s capital stock. By accepting this Note the

payment and agrees to perform, from time to time, such acts, and to
execute, acknowledge and/or deliver such other instruments,
documents and agreements, as may from time to time be requested by
the Company, or as may from time to time otherwise be reasonably
requested, necessary or required, to so confirm or
provide.

waiver hereunder and any single or partial exercise of any such
right, power or privilege shall not preclude any later exercise
thereof or any exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder.

provided otherwise in this Note, the Company and every endorser or
guarantor, if any, of this Note waive presentment, demand, notice,

Note, and assent to any extension or postponement of the time of
payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or
release of collateral available to Holder, if any, and to the

9.
No Unlawful Interest . Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, payment of any interest or other amount hereunder
shall not be required if such payment would be unlawful. In
any such event, this Note shall automatically be deemed amended so
that interest charges and all other payments required hereunder,
individually and in the aggregate, shall be equal to but not
greater than the maximum permitted by law. As a condition to
its obligation to make any payment of interest hereunder without
withholding as may otherwise be required under applicable U.S. tax

sufficiently demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of the
