CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 3.1       Conversion of Notes.

(a) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Note, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's option, at any time prior to or on the close of business on the Maturity Date to convert the principal amount of this Note only, without any interest, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares at the initial rate of one share for each $0.1597 of principal and interest, which may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2 below (the “Conversion Price”).

(b)   In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to this Note, the Holder shall give a conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (or such other notice which is acceptable to the Company) to the Company. A Conversion Notice may be given by facsimile transmission to the numbers set forth on the form of Conversion Notice. If the conversion is to occur on the Maturity Date, the Conversion Notice shall be sent to the Company at least twenty (20) Business Days in advance as set forth under Section 2.1 hereof.
 
(c)  As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 10 days (except for the conversion on the Maturity Date, in which case the Company can issue shares in twenty (20) Business Days after a Conversion Notice is given), after a Conversion Notice is given, the Company shall issue and shall deliver to the Holder or the Holder's designee the number of full shares issuable upon such conversion of this Note or portion hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3.

Section 3.2       Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(i)             In case the Company shall on or after the date hereof pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding shares in shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares outstanding at the close of business on the record date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such record date.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 3(d)(i) is declared, but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(ii)            In case the outstanding Shares shall on or after the issuance date be subdivided into a greater number of Shares, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of Shares, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
 
 

 

(iii)          Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than five days thereafter, give a notice to the Holder setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(e)           Effect of Conversion.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Shares issuable on such conversion unless the Note is either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent, or the Holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Note.  The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver to such Holder of such Note, a certificate or certificates for the securities to which the Holder shall be entitled.   The Company shall not issue fractional shares but shall round up the number of shares issued to the next whole number.  Any conversion effected in accordance with this Section 3 shall be binding upon the Holder hereof.
