This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise provided herein. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(c)(ii) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(iii) Distributions. If the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while this Note are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or cash or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (excluding those referred to in Section 2(c)(i) above), then concurrently with such distributions to holders of Common Stock, the Corporation shall distribute to holders of this Note the amount of such indebtedness, assets, cash or rights or warrants which the holders of Notes would have received had all their Notes been converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.
(iv) Common Stock Issuances. For a period commencing on the date of the Note and continuing at any time while the Note is outstanding, if the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding (other than pursuant to terms existing on the date hereof), at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (the “Lower Per Share Selling Price”) which is less than the then applicable Conversion Price, then in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to the Lower Per Share Selling Price (which figure shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted as provided herein for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar events).
The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall not apply to issuances or sales of (x) Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities outstanding on the issuance date hereof in accordance with the terms in effect on such issuance date, (y) Common Stock or Convertible Securities under the Corporation’s duly adopted stock option and bonus plans for employees and directors, or (z) Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued in a merger/acquisition transaction to which the Corporation is a party.

For purposes of this Section 2(c)(iv), if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the affected Conversion Price shall be used.
(v) Rounding of Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 2 or Section 1 shall be made to 4 decimal places for dollar amounts or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(vi) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any affected Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each holder of this Note, a notice setting forth the affected Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that any failure to so provide such notice shall not affect the automatic adjustment hereunder.
(c) Reservation and Issuance of Underlying Securities. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note (including repayments in stock), free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of this Note, not less than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 2) upon the conversion of this Note hereunder in Common Stock (including repayments in stock). The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradable.
