(ii) Issuer’s Response
. Upon receipt by the Issuer of a Conversion Notice, the Issuer
will immediately send, via facsimile or other electronic means, a
confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and
the Transfer Agent, which confirmation will constitute an
instruction and direction to the Transfer Agent to (I) process
such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and
therein and (II) on or before the third Business Day following the
date of receipt by the Issuer of such Conversion Notice, or such
later Conversion Date as may be specified in such Conversion Notice

designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) 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 to which the Holder will be entitled. If this Note
is submitted for conversion, as may be required by
Section 3(e) , and the Principal amount represented by
this Note is greater than the Principal amount being converted,
then the Issuer will, as soon as practicable and in no event later
than three Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own
expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing
the Principal not converted.
(iii) Dispute Resolution . In
the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion
Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the
Issuer will instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the
Shares representing the number of Shares that is not disputed and
will transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or
arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one
Business Day of receipt of the Holder’s Conversion Notice or
other date of determination. If the Holder and the Issuer are
unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or
arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one Business
Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being
transmitted to the Holder, then the Issuer will within two Business
Days submit via facsimile or by other electronic means (A) the
disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent,
reputable investment bank selected from a list of such investment
banks agreed to by the Issuer and the Agent, or (B) the
disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to an
independent, reputable accounting firm selected from a list of such
accounting firms agreed to by the Issuer and the Agent. The Issuer
will cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may
be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the
Issuer and the Holder of the results no later than three Business
Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s
determination or calculation, as the case may be, will be binding
upon all parties absent error.

issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or credit the
Holder’s balance account with DTC with, the number of Shares
to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion
of any Conversion Amount, then in addition to all other available
remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Note
Agreement (including the Post-Default Rate and indemnification),
the Issuer will pay to the Holder for each day after the Share
Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected a cash amount
equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the number of Shares not

which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Weighted Average
Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date; provided that
in no event will cash amounts accrue pursuant to this
Section 3(d)(i) during the period, if any, in which the

other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of
Section 3(c)(iii) .
(ii) Void Conversion Notice .

respect to a conversion of this Note, then the Holder, upon written
notice to the Issuer (a “ Void Conversion Notice
”), 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 the Holder’s
Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of the Holder’s
Conversion Notice will not affect the Issuer’s obligations to

such conversion is not the subject of a bona fide dispute that is
subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with

Combinations of Stock . If the outstanding shares of Common
Stock will be subdivided into a greater number of such shares, the

combined into a smaller number of such shares, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to the effective date of will be
