Adjustment of Conversion Price for Common Shares. The Conversion Price with respect to any Debt Security which is convertible into Common Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (1) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend in shares of its Common Shares to holders of Common Shares, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Shares into a smaller number of shares of Common Shares, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Shares into a greater number of shares of Common Shares or (iv) make a distribution in shares of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such action shall be adjusted so that the Holders of such Debt Securities, upon conversion thereof into Common Shares immediately following such event, shall be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares of capital stock of the Company which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event if such Debt Securities had been converted immediately before the record dated (or, if no record date, the effective date) for such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 16.03(1) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. For the purposes of this Section 16.03(1), each Holder of Debt Securities shall be deemed to have failed to exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution (provided that if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares). (2) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of shares of its Common Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Shares (or securities convertible into shares of Common Shares) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price of the Common Shares at such record date (treating the price per share of the securities convertible into Common Shares as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into Common Shares and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of such security into Common Shares divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Shares initially underlying such convertible security), the Conversion Price with respect to such Debt Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are initially convertible), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares of additional shares of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of securities so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate purchase price of the convertible securities so offered plus the aggregate amount of any additional consideration initially payable upon conversion of such securities into Common Shares) would purchase at such Current Market Price of the Common Shares. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. (3) In the case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, distribute to all holders of shares of its Common Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and the Common Shares are not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of its indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding (i) regular periodic cash dividends in amounts, if any, determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, (ii) dividends payable in shares of Common Shares for which adjustment is made under Section 16.03(1) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in Section 16.03(2))), then in each such case the Conversion Price with respect to such Debt Securities determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date referred to below, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Shares less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the cash or assets or evidences of indebtedness or securities so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Shares (provided that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0); provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase securities of the Company if a Holder of Debt Securities would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights upon conversion at any time of such Debt Securities into Common Shares unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the Company, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this Section 16.03 as a dividend on the Common Shares. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. (4) The Company shall be entitled to make such additional adjustments in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections 16.03(1), 16.03(2), and 16.03(3), as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or distribution of Common Shares, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Shares or any issuance of rights or warrants referred to above shall not be taxable to the holders of Common Shares for United States Federal income tax purposes. (5) In any case in which this Section 16.03 shall require that any adjustment be made effective as of or retroactively immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only for five (5) Trading Days following the filing of the statement referred to in Section 16.05) issuing to the Holder of any Debt Securities converted after such record date the shares of Common Shares and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Shares and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. (6) All calculations under this Section 16.03 shall be made to the nearest cent or one-hundredth of a share of security, with one-half cent and 0.005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16.03, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price. Any adjustments under this Section 16.03 shall be made successively whenever an event requiring such an adjustment occurs. (7) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 16.03, the Holder of any Debt Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of shares of the Company other than shares of Common Shares into which the Debt Securities originally were convertible, the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any such Debt Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Shares contained in subparagraphs (1) through (6) of this Section 16.03, and the provisions of Sections 16.01, 16.02 and 16.04 through 16.09 with respect to the Common Shares shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares and the determination of the Board of Directors as to any such adjustment shall be conclusive. (8) No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 16.03: (i) if the effect thereof would be to reduce the Conversion Price below the par value (if any) of the Common Shares or (ii) subject to 16.03(5) hereof, with respect to any Debt Security that is converted prior to the time such adjustment otherwise would be made.

Adjustment of Conversion Price for Common Shares. The Conversion Price with respect to any Debt Security which is convertible into Common Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend in shares of its Common Shares to holders of Common Shares, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Shares into a smaller number of shares of Common Shares, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Shares into a greater number of shares of Common Shares or (iv) make a distribution in shares of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such action shall be adjusted so that the Holders of such Debt Securities, upon conversion thereof into Common Shares immediately following such event, shall be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares of capital stock of the Company which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event if such Debt Securities had been converted immediately before the record dated (or, if no record date, the effective date) for such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 16.03(117.03(1) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. For the purposes of this Section 16.03(117.03(1), each Holder of Debt Securities shall be deemed to have failed to exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution (provided that if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares).
(2) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of shares of its Common Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Shares (or securities convertible into shares of Common Shares) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price of the Common Shares at such record date (treating the price per share of the securities convertible into Common Shares as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into Common Shares and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of such security into Common Shares divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Shares initially underlying such convertible security), the Conversion Price with respect to such Debt Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are initially convertible), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares of additional shares of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of securities so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate purchase price of the convertible securities so offered plus the aggregate amount of any additional consideration initially payable upon conversion of such securities into Common Shares) would purchase at such Current Market Price of the Common Shares. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
(3) In the case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Debt Securities are outstanding, distribute to all holders of shares of its Common Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and the Common Shares are not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of its indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding (i) regular periodic cash dividends in amounts, if any, determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, (ii) dividends payable in shares of Common Shares for which adjustment is made under Section 16.03(117.03(1) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in Section 16.03(217.03(2))), then in each such case the Conversion Price with respect to such Debt Securities determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date referred to below, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Shares less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the cash or assets or evidences of indebtedness or securities so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Shares (provided that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0); provided, provided however, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase securities of the Company if a Holder of Debt Securities would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights upon conversion at any time of such Debt Securities into Common Shares unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the Company, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this Section 16.03 section as a dividend on the Common Shares. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(4) The Company shall be entitled to make such additional adjustments in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections 16.03(117.03(1), 16.03(217.03(2), and 16.03(317.03(3), as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or distribution of Common Shares, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Shares or any issuance of rights or warrants referred to above shall not be taxable to the holders of Common Shares for United States Federal income tax purposes.
(5) In any case in which this Section 16.03 17.03 shall require that any adjustment be made effective as of or retroactively immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only for five (5) Trading Days following the filing of the statement referred to in Section 16.0517.05) issuing to the Holder of any Debt Securities converted after such record date the shares of Common Shares and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Shares and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder a due xxxx bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right 's xxxht to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(6) All calculations under this Section 16.03 17.03 shall be made to the nearest cent or one-hundredth of a share of security, with one-half cent and 0.005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16.03, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price. Any adjustments under this Section 16.03 17.03 shall be made successively whenever an event requiring such an adjustment occurs.
(7) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 16.0317.03, the Holder of any Debt Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of shares stock of the Company other than shares of Common Shares into which the Debt Securities originally were convertible, the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any such Debt Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Shares contained in subparagraphs (1) through (6) of this Section 16.0317.03, and the provisions of Sections 16.0117.01, 16.02 17.02 and 16.04 17.04 through 16.09 17.09 with respect to the Common Shares shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares and the determination of the Board of Directors as to any such adjustment shall be conclusive.
(8) No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 16.03Section: (i) if the effect thereof would be to reduce the Conversion Price below the par value (if any) of the Common Shares or (ii) subject to 16.03(517.03(5) hereof, with respect to any Debt Security that is converted prior to the time such adjustment otherwise would be made.
