otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the
Company’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to
acquire shares) of capital Stock of a subsidiary (i.e.,
a spin-off)) (a “ Distribution ”), then the
Holders of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of the
Holders’ Note after the date of record for determining
shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount
of such assets which would have been payable to the holder with
respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
had such Holders been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on

such Distribution and the Note shall be deemed repaid by the amount
of the fair value of the Distribution.
