          (a)  Conversion at the Option of the Holder .

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon surrender of the Note shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

Conversion Amount
Conversion Price

          (b)  Mechanics of Conversion . In order to effect a conversion pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall: (a) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Company and (b) surrender or cause to be surrendered this Note, duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, advising the Holder of any additional documentation required by the transfer agent for the Common Stock to issue the Conversion Shares in the manner provided in the Notice of Conversion (the “ Additional Documentation ”) and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Company regarding the conversion. The Company shall not be obligated to issue Conversion Shares upon a conversion unless either this Note is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Company required by Section 13. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made effective as of the Conversion Date and the rights of the Holder of the Notes being converted shall cease as of the Conversion Date except for the rights to receive Conversion Shares, and the Person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such Conversion Shares at such time and shall have all the rights and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Conversion Shares.

          (c)  Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Upon the surrender of this Note accompanied by a Notice of Conversion and any Additional Documentation, the Company shall, no later than the later of (a) the second Business Day following the Conversion Date and (b) the third Business Day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Section 13) (the “ Delivery Period ”), issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Note being converted and (y) a new Note in the form hereof representing the balance of the principal amount hereof not being converted, if any. If the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depositary Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the

15


 

Holder or its nominee with DTC, as specified in the Notice of Conversion, through its DTC Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“ DTC Transfer ”). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares. Further, the Holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.

          (d)  Adjustment to Conversion Price . The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

               (i)  Common Stock Dividends; Common Stock Splits; Reverse Common Stock Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) shall pay a stock dividend on its Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

               (ii)  Subscription Rights . If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall fix a record date for the distribution to all of the holders of Common Stock evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities entitling them to subscribe for, purchase, convert to, exchange for or to otherwise acquire any security (excluding those referred to in Section 3(d)(i) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price at which this Note shall thereafter be exercisable shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the average Daily Market Price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the record date mentioned above, and the numerator of which shall be such average Daily Market Price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided , however , that in the event of a distribution exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the net assets of the Issuers, such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser selected by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall pay for all such appraisals. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

               (iii)  Other Events . In case of (A) any reclassification of the Common Stock into other securities of the Company, (B) any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (C)

any merger or consolidation with or into any persons, or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuers to any person (each of (A), (B) or (C), an “ Extraordinary Event ”), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such Extraordinary Event, that the Holder would have been entitled to r
