6.           Anti-Dilution:  In the event that Borrower shall at any time subdivide the outstanding Shares, or shall issue a dividend on the outstanding Shares in the form of additional Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance or the issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination as the case may be.  The foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made only if the subdivision, dividend or combination occurs after the most recent bona fide sale to an unaffiliated third party that determines the Conversion Price.  No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made

if the bona fide sale to an unaffiliated third party that determines the Conversion Price occurs after such subdivision, dividend or combination.

 

7.           Acceleration of Debt:  If Borrower fails to make any payment due under the terms of this Note or seeks relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or suffers an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or receivership that is not vacated within thirty (30) days, the entire balance of this Note and any interest accrued thereon shall be immediately due and payable to the holder of this Note.

 

8.           Modification:  No modification or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be allowed unless by written agreement signed by the parties.
