9.2		Issue of Shares upon Conversion

		Subject to condition 9.2.5

	9.2.1		within ten Business Days from its receipt or deemed receipt of a Conversion Notice pursuant to conditions 9.1 (or, in the case of a conditional notice given pursuant to condition 9.6, immediately upon the condition being satisfied) the Company shall allot and issue to the Noteholder the number of shares of common stock of the Company which results from application of the Conversion Rate to the nominal amount of Loan Notes specified in the Conversion Notice, to the nearest whole share, with fractional amounts of principal being paid by the Company in cash to the Noteholder; the shares so allotted and issued shall be duly authorised, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessible and shall be issued in compliance with the by-laws and other constitutional documents of the Company and in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws;

9.3

Limit upon Share Issue

	9.3.2		If by reason of the preceding condition 9.3.1 any Loan Notes the subject of a Conversion Notice are not converted the Conversion Notice shall have effect in respect of all the Loan Notes subject to the same except those not converted by reason of condition 9.3.1 and the right of conversion in respect of the unconverted Loan Notes shall continue in effect and be exercisable at any time prior to the repayment, redemption or cancellation of such Loan Notes

			then and in any such event the number of shares of common stock into which Loan Notes may be converted and/or the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in such manner as the Company and the Noteholder’s Representative agree is fair and reasonable so as to leave the Noteholders in no worse position by reason of the variation than they were in prior to the variation taking effect;

	9.4.2		If the Company and the Noteholder’s Representative fail to agree as to whether any adjustment, or what adjustment, is fair and reasonable the matter shall be referred to such firm of chartered accountants as the Company and the Noteholder’s Representative may agree or in default of agreement by an independent firm of chartered accountants appointed on the application of either of them by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales Any such firm of chartered accountants shall determine the matter in their sole discretion acting as experts not arbitrators and their decision shall be final and binding on the Company and all Noteholders

(a)

the Company shall give and not withdraw a notice (“a Pre-emption Notice”) to each Noteholder stating the number of shares proposed to be allotted or issued, the subscription price, the class and rights of the shares and any other applicable terms of the proposed allotment or issue; such Pre-emption Notice shall also state the date (being no earlier than twenty Business Days after the date on which the Pre-emption Notice is given)

on or before which any election to take up any of the shares the subject of the Pre-Emption Notice must be given to the Company;

	(c)		the Pre-Emption Notice may specify a date (not being earlier than twenty Business Days after the date on which the Pre-Emption Notice is given) on or before which a Noteholder electing to take up all or any of his Noteholder Proportion of the shares or securities proposed to be issued must deliver a form of subscription and pay to the Company the subscription monies for the same and if a Noteholder fails to deliver such subscription and pay such subscription monies within the time so allowed (or longer time allowed by the Company) his election to take up the shares shall lapse;

9.6		Change of Control

		In connection with any Change of Control:

	9.6.1		the Company shall promptly give notice of such event to the Noteholders;

	9.6.2		the Noteholders may then immediately exercise their right of conversion pursuant to condition 9; any such exercise may, in the option of the Noteholder, be either unconditional or conditional upon the transaction taking place within the timescale stated in the Conversion Notice and if such condition is not satisfied the Conversion Notice shall be of no effect and conversion shall not be effected;

	9.6.3		alternatively, if the acquisition is in consideration or partly in consideration of the issue of shares in the acquiring entity in exchange for shares in the capital of the Company, the Noteholder may require the Company to do all things within its power to cause the right of conversion conferred by this condition 9 to be exercisable and have effect in respect of shares in the acquiring entity so as to

give the Noteholder upon conversion (and subject to subsequent adjustment pursuant to condition 9.4) such number of shares in the capital of the acquiring entity as such Noteholder would have if it had exercised the right of conversion conferred by condition 9.1 immediately prior to such acquisition and exchanged the shares which it thereby acquired for shares in the capital of the acquiring entity
