ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND FIXED
CONVERSION PRICE
3.1 Optional Conversion .
Subject to the terms of this Article III, the Holder shall have the
right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity Date,
or during an Event of Default (as defined in Article IV), and,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, to
convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount
and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid
and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at the Fixed
Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6
hereof, the initial “ Fixed Conversion Price ”
shall be $6.80. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion are herein referred to as the “ Conversion
Shares. ”
3.2 Conversion Limitation .
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of
this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of
Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between
(i) 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. The Conversion Shares limitation described in this
Section 3.2 shall automatically become null and void without
any notice to any Company upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior notice to
the Parent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.2 are irrevocable
and may not be waived by the Holder or any Company.
3.3 Mechanics of Holder’s
Conversion . In the event that the Holder elects to convert
this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such
election by delivering an executed and completed notice of
conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto
(appropriately completed) (“ Notice of Conversion
”) to the Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall provide
a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued
interest and fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date
(as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of
Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the
Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its
records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Parent
within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date. Each
date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to
the Parent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed
a Conversion Date (the “ Conversion Date ”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Parent will
issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion
of counsel within one (1) Business Day of the date of the
delivery to the Parent of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause
the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the
Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust
Corporation (“ DTC ”) through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system
within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Parent of
the Notice of Conversion (the “ Delivery Date
”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set
forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been
exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion
shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the
Parent of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares, unless
the Holder provides the Parent written instructions to the
contrary.

3.4 Late Payments . Each
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion
Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the
Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As
compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other
rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note,
applicable law or otherwise, the Companies shall, jointly and
severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late issuance of
Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article III
upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per
Business Day after the Delivery Date. The Companies shall, jointly
and severally, make any payments incurred under this Section in
immediately available funds upon demand.
3.5 Conversion Mechanics .
The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that
portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if
any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.
3.6 Adjustment Provisions .
The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other
securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to
Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the occurrence of certain eve
