(ii)           If the Holder chooses to convert the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6(c)(iii) hereof, then, at the time specified in Section 6(c)(iii), the Conversion Amount shall be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock equal to or in excess of one half of one share, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.  The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, stamp, documentary and similar taxes (excluding any taxes on the income or gain of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b)           Conversion Rate.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 6(a) (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price.

(c)           Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)           Optional Conversion.  To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 6(c)(ii), cause the Subordinated Secured Note to be delivered to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date.  On or before 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on the first (1st) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder (at the facsimile number provided in the Conversion Notice) and the Company’s transfer agent, if any (the “Transfer Agent”).  On or before 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.  If the Subordinated Secured Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 6(c)(ii) and the outstanding principal of the Subordinated Secured Note is greater than the principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Subordinated Secured Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Subordinated Secured Note representing the outstanding principal not converted.  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Subordinated Secured Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(ii)           Book-Entry. Subject to Section 6(c)(iii) hereof, upon conversion of any portion of the Subordinated Secured Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Subordinated Secured Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by the Subordinated Secured Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting physical surrender and reissue of the Subordinated Secured Note.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal and interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the Subordinated Secured Note upon conversion.

(iii)  Conversion or Redemption at Option of Holder.  Notwithstanding Sections 6(c)(i) and 6(c)(ii) hereof, if and when the Qualified Offering is consummated, the Conversion Amount shall be either (I) converted into shares of Common Stock concurrently with the consummation of the Qualified Offering or (II) redeemed for cash, with the choice between conversion and redemption being at the sole option of the Holder.  The date on which the Qualified Offering is consummated is also referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”  If the Holder has chosen to convert the Conversion Amount, then, on or before 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on the tenth (10th) Business Day following such Closing Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (i) issue and deliver to the address as specified in the executed Conversion Notice (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I), a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and (ii), if the Subordinated Secured Note was converted only in part, make payment to the Holder in U.S. dollars for the unconverted principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any.  If the Holder has chosen to redeem the Conversion Amount for cash, then, on or before 4:00 p.m., New York Time, on the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall make payment to the Holder in U.S. dollars for the Conversion Amount. If the Company complies with the terms of this Section 6(c)(iii), then, on the date on which it so complies, the Outstanding Debt shall be deemed satisfied and paid in full and the Company shall have no other obligation with respect to the Outstanding Debt, whether or not this Subordinated Secured Note is delivered for cancellation.  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Subordinated Secured Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date.

7.      Rights upon Issuance of Other Securities

(a)  Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(b)  Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock; Stock Dividends.  If the Company at any time, or from time to time, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.  If the Company at any time, or from time to time, combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this Section 7(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective or, in the case of a stock dividend or distribution, the date of such event.

(c)           (i)           Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Cash Dividends and Distributions.  If the Company at any time, or from time to time, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then immediately after the close of business on the day that the Common Stock trades ex-distribution, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution and (ii) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day that the Common Stock trades ex-distribution by (B) the sum of (1) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day that the Common Stock trades ex-distribution plus (2) the amount per share of such dividend or distribution.  The Company shall not be required to give effect to any adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7(c) unless and until the net effect of one or more adjustments (each of which shall be carried forward until counted toward an adjustment), determined in accordance with this Section 7(c), shall have resulted in a change of the Conversion Price by at least 1%, and when the cumulative net effect of more than one adjustment so determined shall be to change the Conversion Price by at least 1%, such change in the Conversion Price shall thereon be given effect.

(ii)           Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Distributions of Capital Stock, Indebtedness or Other Non-Cash Assets.  If the Company at any time, or from time to time, distributes any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (2) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 7(b)) to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Price then in effect and (B) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price share of the Common Stock on the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Company’s board of directors) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date) and of which the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the securities distributed by the Company to the record holders of any class of Common Stock consist of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the average Closing Sale Price of one share of Common Stock over the Spinoff Valuation Period (as defined below) and of which the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the average Closing Sale Price of one share of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spinoff Valuation Period”) commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which “ex-dividend trading” commences on the Common Stock on the Principal Market or any national or regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted and (y) the average Closing Sale Price over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the fifteenth Trading Day after the date on which “ex-dividend trading” commences.

(d)  Ratchet. In the event the Company shall issue Common Stock, or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock (excluding in each case shares issued (i) in any of the transactions described in Subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, (ii) upon exercise of options granted to the Company’s employees, directors, consultants or officers under a plan or plans or individual compensation arrangements adopted by the Company’s board of directors, if such shares would otherwise be included in this Subsection (d), (iii) upon conversion of shares or exercise of options and warrants outstanding as of the date hereof, or (iv) to shareholders of any Company which merges into the Company in proportion to their stock holdings of such Company immediately prior to such merger, upon such merger), for consideration per share, exercise price per share, conversion price per share or exchange price per share (as the case may be)(“Offering Price”) less than the then applicable Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal such Offering Price.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made.

(e)  Other Events; Other Dividends and Distributions.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall make in good faith an adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under the Subordinated Secured Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

(f)  Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 7, the Company shall promptly mail notice of such adjustment to each Holder, which notice shall set forth the Conversion Price after adjustment, the date on which such adjustment became effective and a brief statement of the facts resulting in such adjustment.

8.      Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 10 and 12 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

9.      Waiver and Amendment.  Any provision of this Subordinated Secured Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders.  Any such amendment, waiver or modification effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon the Company and each Holder, it being understood and agreed that such written consent will affect all Subordinated Secured Notes and be binding on all holders thereof regardless of whether any particular holder executed such consent.

10.      Transfer of this Subordinated Secured Note.  With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Subordinated Secured Note, Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of Holder’s counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect, as applicable).  Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Holder that Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Subordinated Secured Note, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company.  This Subordinated Secured Note thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.  The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.  Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Subordinated Secured Note shall be registered upon registration books maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company.  Prior to presentation of this Subordinated Secured Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the registered holder hereof as the owner and holder of this Subordinated Secured Note for the purpose of receiving all payments of principal and the Premium Payment and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Subordinated Secured Note shall be overdue and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder may assign this Subordinated Secured Note to an affiliated entity without the prior written consent of the Company so long as such assignment complies with applicable law.

11.      Assignment by the Company.  Neither this Subordinated Secured Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part (other than by operation of law) by the Company without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.
