4.3 Adjustments to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

4.3.1 Adjustment Upon Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Splits. If, at any time, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend, or to be affected by such subdivision or split-up, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of Note shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.

4.3.2 Adjustment Upon Combinations. If, at any time, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date to determine shares affected by such combination, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Note shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, share exchanges, recapitalizations, reorganizations, business combinations or other similar events or sales of assets.

4.3.4 Deferral in Certain Circumstances.
