Other than dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, Holders of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock equal, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of Common Stock.

Upon consummation of the Merger, each holder of Old Catheter convertible promissory notes received, in exchange for discharge of the principal of their Notes, a number of shares of the Company's Series X Convertible Preferred Stock representing a potential right to convert into the Company's common stock in an amount equal to one common share for each $32.00 of principal amount.
