b)    Company’s Election to Pay Interest in Kind . Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the decision whether to pay interest hereunder in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof shall be at the discretion of the Company.

During any Interest Notice Period, the Company’s election (whether specific to an Interest Payment Date or continuous) shall be irrevocable as to such Interest Payment Date.

Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount converted, provided that the Company actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section 4(d)(ii). Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Debenture is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Debenture (the “ Debenture Register ”).

If any Interest Conversion Shares are issued to the Holder in connection with an Interest Payment Date and are not applied against an Interest Share Amount, then the Holder shall promptly return such excess shares to the Company.
