6.    Conversion of Convertible Notes.

6.1.
Right to convert. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 6, at the option of the holder of any Notes, such Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, may at any time at or before the close of business on the maturity date of such Notes be converted at 100% or so much of the principal amount of such Notes as are so converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the date of the conversion.

6.2.
Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the holder shall surrender this Note to the Company at any time during usual business hours at its principal office in New York City, accompanied by a written notice to the Company at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert this Note or a specified portion thereof and stating the name or names (together with the address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issued upon conversion. All Notes surrendered for conversion shall (if so required by the Company) be accompanied by proper assignments thereof to the Company or be blank. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and the surrender of this Note as aforesaid the Company shall issue and deliver to the holder, or on his written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provision of this Article and cash, as provided in Subsection 3, in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the Date of Conversion, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby on such date; provided, however, that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, and the Note surrendered shall not be deemed to have been converted until such time for all purposes, but such conversion shall be at the conversion price in effect at the close of business on the date of such surrender. Anything contained in this Section 6.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to effect the transfer of any Conversion Shares upon conversion of any portion of any Notes or cause any Conversion Shares upon conversion of any Notes to be registered in any name or names other than the name of the holder of the Notes, converted or to be converted (or such holder’s nominee or nominees) unless such holder delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with applicable securities laws.

3


In case any Note is surrendered for conversion for only a portion of the principal amount thereof, the Company shall execute and deliver to the holder of such Note, at the expense of the Company, a new Note in the denomination or denominations ($1,000 and integral multiples thereof, plus one Note in a lesser denomination, if required) as such holder may request in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the Note so surrendered.

6.3.
Fractions of Share. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of a share or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section be issuable on the conversion of any Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction, equal to the value of such fraction based on the then Conversion Price.

6.4.
Conversion Ratio and Conversion Price.

 
(i)
The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the Conversion Price) shall initially be US$2.20 (Two US dollars and two cents) per share of Common Stock.
 
(ii)
Each US$1000 Note unit shall be convertible into 454 shares of the Borrower’s common stock.
 
(iii)
The Conversion Price in effect or to be in effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in subsection 6.5.

6.5
Adjustment of Conversion Price and Number of Shares of Common Stock Issuable upon Conversion of the Notes. Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Note Holders shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the conversion price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the conversion price resulting from such adjustment.

The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

A. In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (I) issues or sells any additional shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issue or sale of such additional shares, or without consideration, or (II) pay or make a dividend (other than in cash payable from retained earnings or earned surplus) or other distribution on Common Stock, then and thereafter successively upon each such issue, sale, dividend or other distribution, the Conversion Price for each share of Common Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue, sale, dividend or other distribution shall forthwith be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue sale, dividend or other distribution multiplied by such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, sale, dividend or other distribution, plus (b) in the case of such an issue or sale, the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale, or minus (c) in the case of such a dividend or other distribution, the amount of such dividend or other distribution, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue, sale, dividend or other distribution.

The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $0.001 per share, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $0.001 per share.

For the purpose of any adjustment as provided in this subsection A, the following provisions shall also be applicable:

(i)    In case of the issue of additional shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration received by the Company therefore shall be deemed to be the cash proceeds received by the Company for such shares, without deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith.

(ii)    In case at any time the Company shall grant any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”), whether or not such rights or options or the rights to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities,

(iii)   In case at any time the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or Convertible Securities, any Common Stock or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.

(iv)   In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold, in whole or in part, for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

5


(v)    In the event of the consolidation of the Company with or the merger of the Company into any other corporation or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety for stock or other securities of any corporation, or the merger of any other corporation into the Company as a result of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be deemed to have become the holders of, or shall become entitled to, stock or other securities of any corporation other than the Company, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for such stock or securities computed on the basis of the exchange ratio actually applied in the transaction and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of such stock or securities of the other corporation. If such determination shall cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price, the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of any Convertible Note immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale for the purpose of subsection (iii) of this subsection 6.5 shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the Conversion Price.

(vi)   In case of the payment or making of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock in property (other than in shares of Common Stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares for Common Stock, but including all other securities) such dividend or other distribution shall be deemed to have been paid or make at the close of business at the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be the amount of cash and, if in property other than cash, shall be deemed to be the value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of the declaration of such dividend or other distribution.

(vii)   The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue of sale of Common Stock.

B.    Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price in any of the following events:

(i)    The issue of the Convertible Notes of which this note is a part;

(ii)    The issue of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion from time to time of the Notes;

C.    In case at any time the Company’s shares shall be combined into a small number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall remain unchanged.

D.    If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock (or any other securities of the Company then issuable upon the conversion of this Note) shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock (or such other securities) then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Convertible Note and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, securities or assets as my be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of shares of such Common Stock (or such other securities) immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation , merger or sale not taken place, and in any case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holder of this Convertible Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions fro adjustments of the conversion price and of the number of shares purchasable upon the conversion of this Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof (including an immediate adjustment, by reason of such consolidation, merger or sale, of the conversion price, to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale if the value so reflected is less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument executed and mailed to the registered holder hereof at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase. The successor corporation shall be deemed substituted for the Company for all purposes of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes.

The provisions of subsection D governing the substitution of another corporation for the Company shall similarly apply to successive instances in which the corporation then deemed to be the Company hereunder shall either sell all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other corporation or shall be the surviving corporation of the merger into it of any other corporation as a result of which the holders of any of its tock or other securities shall be deemed to have become the holders of, or shall become entitled to, the stock or other securities of any corporation other than the corporation at the time deemed to be the Company hereunder.
