FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
Phantom Fiber Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the " Company "), hereby
promises to pay to the order of [MAGNETAR CAPITAL MASTER FUND,
LTD.][OTHER BUYERS] or registered assigns ("
Holder ") the amount set out above as the
Principal (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to
redemption, conversion or otherwise, the "
Principal ") when due, whether upon the Maturity
Date (as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in
each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest
(" Interest ") on any outstanding Principal at a
rate equal to one percent (1.0%) per annum (the " Interest
Rate "), from the date set out above as the Issuance Date
(the " Issuance Date ")
until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest
Date (as defined below) or, the Maturity Date, acceleration,
conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance
with the terms hereof). This Senior Convertible Note (including all
Senior Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or
replacement hereof, this " Note ") is one of an
issue of Senior Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement (as defined below) on the Closing Date
(collectively, the " Notes " and such other Senior
Convertible Notes, the " Other
Notes "). Certain capitalized terms used herein
are defined in Section 28.
(1)
MATURITY . On the Maturity Date, the Holder shall
surrender the Note to the Company and the Company shall pay to the
Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal and
accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if
any.
(2)
INTEREST; INTEREST
RATE . Interest on this
Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be
computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed and
shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each [January 1
st and July 1 st ] during the period
beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the
Maturity Date (each, an " Interest
Date ") with the first Interest Date being July 1,
2006. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the
record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date, and to
the extent that any Principal amount of this Note is converted
prior to such Interest Date, accrued and unpaid Interest with
respect to such converted Principal amount and accrued and unpaid
Late Charges with respect to such Principal and Interest shall be
paid through the Conversion Date (as defined below) on the next
succeeding Interest Date to the record holder of this Note on the
applicable Conversion Date, in shares of Common Stock ("
Interest Shares ") or, at the option of the
Company, in cash (" Cash Interest ") or a
combination thereof, provided that the Interest which accrued
during any period may be payable in Interest Shares if, and only
if, the Company delivers written notice (each, an "
Interest Election Notice ") of such election to
each holder of the Notes on or prior to the tenth (10 th
) Trading Day prior to the Interest Date (each, an "
Interest Notice Due Date "). Each Interest
Election Notice must specify the amount of Interest that shall be
paid in Interest Shares and the amount of Interest, if any, that
shall be paid as Cash Interest. Interest to be paid on an Interest
Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares (rounded to the nearest whole share in
accordance with Section 3(a)) of Common Stock equal to the quotient
of (a) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Date less
any Cash Interest paid and (b) the Interest Conversion Price in
effect on the applicable Interest Date. If any Interest Shares are
to be paid on an Interest Date, then the Company shall (X) provided
that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program and such action is not prohibited by
applicable law or regulation or any applicable policy of DTC,
credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares to which the Holder
shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account
with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or
(Y) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver on the
applicable Interest Date, to the address set forth in the register
maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by
the Holder in writing to the Company at least two (2) Business Days
prior to the applicable Interest Date, a certificate, registered in
the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Interest
Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to pay Interest in
Interest Shares and shall be required to pay such Interest in cash
as Cash Interest on the applicable Interest Date if, unless
consented to in writing by the Holder, there has been an Equity
Conditions Failure. Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest
Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Interest Rate shall be increased to fifteen percent (15%). In
the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the
adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be
effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest
as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the
continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the
extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of
Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of
Default. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be
payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Interest
Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of
Interest Shares to any Person other than the Holder or with respect
to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Interest
Shares.
(3)
CONVERSION OF NOTES
. This Note shall be convertible
into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the " Common Stock "), on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a)
Conversion Right
. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date,
the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the
outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance
with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The
Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock
upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance
of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round
such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole
share. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable
with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon
conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(b)
Conversion Rate
. The number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to
Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion
Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the " Conversion
Rate ").
(i) " Conversion Amount " means the
portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise
with respect to which this determination is being made.
(ii) " Conversion Price " means, as
of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of
determination, $0.50, subject to adjustment as provided
herein.
(c)
Mechanics of
Conversion .
(i)
Optional Conversion
. To convert any Conversion Amount
into shares of Common Stock on any date (a " Conversion
Date "), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or
otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York
Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "
Conversion Notice ") to the Company and (B) if
required by Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to a common
carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or
following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect
to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or
before the first (1 st ) Business Day following the date
of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by
facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to
the Holder and the Transfer Agent. On or before the second (2
nd ) Business Day following the date of receipt of a
Conversion Notice (the " Share Delivery
Date "), the Company shall (X) provided that the
Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the
Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer
Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in
the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the
Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is physically
surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the
outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal
portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company
shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3)
Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense,
issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with
Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not
converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such
shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(ii)
Company's Failure to Timely
Convert . If the Company
shall fail to issue a certificate to the Holder or credit the
Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any
Conversion Amount on or prior to the date which is three (3)
Trading Days after the Conversion Date (a " Conversion
Failure "), then (A) the Company shall pay damages to the
Holder in cash for each day of such Conversion Failure in an amount
equal to 3.0% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares
of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share
Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (II) the
Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Share
Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the
Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain
or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that
has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice;
provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not
affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have
accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section
3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if within
three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile
copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and
deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance
account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any
Conversion Amount (a " Conversion Failure "), and
if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the
Company (a " Buy-In "), then the Company shall,
within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request and in
the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased (the "Buy-In Price" ), at which point
the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the
product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the
Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.
(iii)
Book-Entry
. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this
Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless
(A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being
converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior
written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion
Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender
of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records
showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and the
dates of such conversions or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to
require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.
(iv)
Pro Rata Conversion;
Disputes . In the event
that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one
holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can
convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted
for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert
from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such
date a pro rata amount of such holder's portion of its Notes
submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes
submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to
the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for
conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with
a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve
such dispute in accordance with Section 22.
(d)
Limitations on
Conversions . The Company
shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of
this Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this
Note pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving
effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder's
affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "
Maximum Percentage ") of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the
determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the
number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A)
conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion
of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any Other Notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except
as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form
8-K, as the case may be (y) a more recent public announcement by
the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral
request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Business Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase
or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in
excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any
such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61
st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company,
and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the
Holder and not to any other holder of Notes.
(4)

(a)
Event of Default
. Each of the following events
shall constitute an " Event of Default
":

(iv) at any time following the tenth (10
th ) consecutive Business Day that the Holder's

regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(d)
or otherwise);
(v) the Company's failure to pay to the Holder any
amount of Principal, Interest, Late Charges or other amounts when

Securities Purchase Agreement) or any other agreement, document,
certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the

continues for a period of at least five (5) Business
Days;
(vi) any default under, redemption of or acceleration
prior to maturity of any Indebtedness (as defined in Section 3(s)

(vii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant
to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar

of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official (a
" Custodian "), (D) makes a general assignment for
the benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is

order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an involuntary
case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries;
(ix) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of
money aggregating in excess of $100,000 are rendered against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not,
within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged
or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60)
days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any
judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a
credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the
$100,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the
Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider
(which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or
an indemnity and the Company will receive the proceeds of such
insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of
such judgment;
(x) the Company breaches any representation,
warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction

term or condition of any Transaction Document which is curable,
only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10)
consecutive Business Days;
(xi) any breach or failure in any respect to comply
with either of Section 13 of this Note; or
(xii) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other
Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes.
(b)
Redemption Right
. Promptly after the occurrence of
an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note,
the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier (an " Event of Default Notice ")
to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder's
receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware
of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to
redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice
thereof (the " Event of Default Redemption Notice
") to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall
indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem.
Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company
pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a
price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the sum of the
Conversion Amount to be redeemed together with accrued and unpaid
Interest with respect to such Conversion Amount and accrued and
unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Conversion Amount and
Interest and (y) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (A)
the Conversion Rate with respect to such sum of the Conversion
Amount together with accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to
such Conversion Amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with
respect to such Conversion Amount and Interest in effect at such
time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice
and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date
immediately preceding such Event of Default (the " Event of
Default Redemption Price ").
Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11. To the extent
redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note
by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary
prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the
Company's redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section
4(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to
estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a
suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.
Accordingly, any Redemption Premium due under this Section 4(b) is
intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable
estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity
and not as a penalty.
(5)
RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL .
(a)
Assumption
. The Company shall not enter into
or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the
Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the
Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to
each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the
Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without
limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to
the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Notes held by
such holder and having similar ranking to the Notes, and
satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor
Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded
corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading
on an Eligible Market (a " Public Successor Entity
"). Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that
from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the
provisions of this Note referring to the "Company" shall refer
instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and
power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor
Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of
the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to
the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion
or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of
the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company's
Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property)
purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded
common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including
its Parent Entity), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions
of this Note. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly
and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be
applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or
redemption of this Note.
(b)
Redemption Right
. No sooner than fifteen (15) days
nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change
of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change
of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a " Change
of Control Notice "). At any time
during the period beginning after the Holder's receipt of a Change
of Control Notice and ending on the date of the consummation of
such Change of Control (or, in the event a Change of Control Notice
is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of
Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) days
prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) days after the
consummation of such Change of Control), the Holder may require the
Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering
written notice thereof (" Change of Control Redemption
Notice ") to the Company, which Change of Control
Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder
is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to
redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the
Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x)
125% of the sum of the Conversion Amount being redeemed together
with accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Conversion
Amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such
Conversion Amount and Interest and (y) the quotient determined by
dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately
following the public announcement of such proposed Change of
Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) 125% of the sum of the
Conversion Amount being redeemed together with accrued and unpaid
Interest with respect to such Conversion Amount and accrued and
unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Conversion Amount and
Interest (the " Change of Control Redemption Price
"). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11 and shall have
priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of
Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b)
are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be
deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the
Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest
thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for
redemption under this Section 5(c) (together with any interest
thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into
Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. The parties hereto agree that
in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Note
under this Section 5(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain
and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to
predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the
availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for
the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this
Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed,
a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment
opportunity and not as a penalty.
(6)
RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE
RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS .
(a)
Purchase Rights
. If at any time the Company grants,
issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to
purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "
Purchase Rights "), then the Holder will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common
Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without
taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
convertibility of this Note) immediately before the date on which a
record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase
Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b)
Other Corporate Events
. In addition to and not in
substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the
consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which
holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive
securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for
shares of Common Stock (a " Corporate Event "),
the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the
Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion
of this Note, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock
receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to
which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such
shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by
the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without
taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such
securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of
Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate
Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to
receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights
for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common
Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate
with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the
Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply
similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be
applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or
redemption of this Note.

RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER
SECURITIES .
(a)
Adjustment of Conversion Price
upon Issuance of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the Subscription
Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this
Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common
Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding
shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the
Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a
consideration per share (the " New Issuance Price
") less than a price (the " Applicable Price ")
equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issue or sale (the foregoing a " Dilutive Issuance
"), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion
Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New
Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion
Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be
applicable:
(i)
Issuance of Options
. If the Company in any manner
grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of
any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold
by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option
for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or
exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest
amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting
or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon
conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of
such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii)
Issuance of Convertible
Securities . If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock
is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold
by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes
of this Section 7(a)(ii), the "price per share for which one share
of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or
exercise" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest
