(b) Optional Conversion. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio. In the event of a notice of redemption of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8, the conversion rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not fully paid on such redemption date, in which case the conversion rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In order for a holder of Series G Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series G Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall send written notice to the Company that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series G Preferred and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.

(i) The “Conversion Date” shall mean the date on which the shares of Series G Preferred Stock convert in accordance with this Section 4. The Person in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby on the Conversion Date, and such conversion shall be into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock surrendered times the Conversion Ratio in effect on the Conversion Date. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock will upon delivery be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights. On the Conversion Date each outstanding share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically into shares of Common Stock without any further action and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder of such share and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company.

(ii) Immediately prior to any Conversion Date, the Company shall pay or make adjustment for accrued and unpaid dividends on shares of Series G Preferred Stock.

(d) Issuance of Shares.

(i) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as may be required to effect conversions of the Series G Preferred Stock.

(ii) Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Company is obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock, the Company shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations which require action by the Company.

(e) Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issuance, delivery and transfer taxes in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock pursuant hereto.

(f) Fractional Shares. In connection with the conversion of any shares of Series G Preferred Stock, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued. In lieu thereof the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to such fractional interest multiplied by the Market Price on the day on which such shares of Series G Preferred Stock are deemed to have been converted. The “Market Price” shall be (i) if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market (or a similar national quotation system), then the value shall be computed based on the closing price on such exchange or system on such day, (ii) if the Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, then the value shall be computed based on the closing price on such day, and (iii) if there is no public market for the Common Stock, then the value shall be computed based on fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on such day.

(g) Adjustments. If the Company at any time after the date of issue of the Series G Preferred Stock (i) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on Common Stock payable in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides or splits the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combines or reclassifies the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iv) issues any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or (v) consolidates with, merges with or into or is converted into any other Person, the Conversion Ratio in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, consolidation, conversion, merger or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock after such time shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or shares of any security into which such shares of Common Stock have been combined, consolidated, converted, merged or reclassified pursuant to Sections 4(g)(iii), 4(g)(iv) or 4(g)(v) which, if the Series G Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to such time, such holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, split, combination, consolidation, conversion, merger or reclassification Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(h) If the Company fixes a record date for a distribution to holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, assets or other property (other than dividends payable in Common Stock), provision shall be made such that each holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall receive its pro rata portion of such distribution as if the Conversion Date had occurred immediately prior to such record date.

5. Preference on Liquidation or Deemed Liquidation Event. In the event of any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company, each holder of shares of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock an amount in cash per share of Series G Preferred Stock held by such holder equal to the sum of the Original Purchase Price plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of Series G Preferred Stock plus any amounts due but unpaid under Section 4(h) (the “Preference Amount”). Upon payment in full of the Preference Amount, no additional amounts, preferences, participations or payments shall be paid or allocated to the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock in connection with any Liquidation Event or otherwise. If, upon any Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of the Series G Preferred Stock, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

6. Voting Rights.
