If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted, in which event the Holder shall physically surrender this Note to the Borrower. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the principal amount so converted. The Holder, the Borrower and the Parent shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. However, at the Borrower’s request, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Borrower within five (5) days following such request so that a new Series B Note reflecting the correct principal amount may be issued to Holder.

ii.           Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion.  Not later than fifteen Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Borrower will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.

iii.           Fractional Shares.  Upon a conversion hereunder the Parent shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the market price of a share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date at such time. If the Parent elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

iv.           Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Parent shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note and the Parent shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Parent the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Parent that such tax has been paid.

(d)           Mandatory Conversion.

i.           Conversion Conditions.  If at any time prior to the Maturity Date (x) the closing price of a share of Common Stock as quoted on the primary Trading Market for such Common Stock is at least 240% of the Conversion Price then in effect for twenty consecutive Trading Days (the “Measuring Period”) and (y) the average daily trading volume on such Trading Market is at least 250,000 shares per day during such Measuring Period (the “Conversion Conditions”), then and in such event, the entire outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically and without further action by the Borrower, the Parent or the Holder be converted into shares of Common Stock as of the Trading Day following the day on which the Conversion Conditions have been met.

ii.           Notice.  The Borrower or the Parent shall notify the Holder in the manner for notices provided in the Purchase Agreement, that the Conversion Conditions have been met within five Trading Days of the occurrence thereof and that the Holder should surrender this Note in exchange for Conversion Shares.  Not later than fifteen Trading Days after the date on which this Note is so surrendered, Parent will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon such conversion.

Section 4.                      Certain Adjustments.

(a)           Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Parent, at any time after the date hereof: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(b)           Notice to Holder.

For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Parent shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration, If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Parent or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such note into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
