Conversion The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows: A. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the direction of, and by notice to the Corporation from, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at any time, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such Series, into one thousand (1,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock subject (x) to adjustment from time to time as provided below (as so adjusted, the "conversion ratio") and (y) (prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization) to limitations resulting from the available number of shares of Common Stock which may be reserved for issuance upon such conversion, provided ,that any conversion pursuant to this paragraph A of less than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be on a pro rata basis amongst all holders of Series B Preferred Stock. After consummation of the Recapitalization, the number "1,000" in this paragraph shall be "1", subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph VIII.G. B. If the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock give notice of conversion under paragraph A above, the Corporation shall notify all other record holders of Series B Preferred Stock (a "Conversion Notice"). Following receipt of a Conversion Notice, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such Series, and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such Conversion Notice and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the recordholder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. The issuance of certificates or shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge for any issue, stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. C. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash for any fractional share. D. In case at any time or from time to time the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock or other class of securities, or shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock or other class of securities any additional shares of stock of any class or any other right, or there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation or consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, then, in any one or more of said cases the Corporation shall give at least 20 days' prior written notice (the time of mailing of such notice shall be deemed to be the time of giving thereof) to the registered holders of the Series B Preferred Stock at the addresses of each as shown on the books of the Corporation maintained by the Transfer Agent thereof of the date on which (i) the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such stock dividend, distribution or subscription rights or (ii) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place, as the case may be, provided that in the case of any Transaction to which paragraph H applies the Corporation shall give at least 30 days' prior written notice as aforesaid. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record shall participate in said dividend, distribution or subscription rights or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance or participate in such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice shall not invalidate any action so taken. E. From and after the Recapitalization, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, then in addition to such other remedies as shall be availableto the holder of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. F. Any notice required by the provisions of paragraph D to be given the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if sent by facsimile transmission, by telex, or if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his, her or its address appearing on the books of the Corporation. G. The conversion ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution, on the outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (C) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue by reclassification of the shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then, and in each such case, the conversion ratio in effect immediately prior to such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier, shall be adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such shares of Series B Preferred Stock been surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the happening of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier. An adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or (y) in the case of any such subdivision, reclassification or combination, at the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective. (ii) In the case the Corporation shall, after the Issue Date, issue shares of Common Stock at a price per share, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") having a "Conversion Price" (as defined below) less than the Current Market Price (for a period of 15 consecutive trading days prior to such date), then, and in each such case, the conversion ratio shall be adjusted so that the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, upon the conversion thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (A) the applicable conversion ratio on the day immediately prior to such date by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date on which such shares or Convertible Securities are issued and (2) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued, or into which the Convertible Securities may convert, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued, or the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the Conversion Price of such Convertible Securities so issued, would purchase at such Current Market price on such date. An adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be made on the next Business Day following the date on which any such issuance is made and shall be effective retroactively immediately after the close of business on such date. For purposes of this clause (ii), the aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation in connection with the issuance of any securities shall be deemed to be the sum of the aggregate offering price to the public (before deduction of underwriting discounts or commissions and expenses payable to third parties), and the "Conversion Price" of any Convertible Securities is the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities (before deduction of underwriting discounts or commissions and expenses payable to third parties) plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any such Convertible Securities. Neither (A) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (whether treasury shares or newly issued shares) pursuant to a dividend or distribution on, or subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the outstanding shares of Common Stock requiring an adjustment in the conversion ratio pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph G, or pursuant to any employee benefit plan or program of the Corporation or pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or Convertible Security outstanding as of the date hereof (including, but not limited to, the Rights, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Warrants) nor (B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto shall be deemed to constitute an issuance of Common Stock or Convertible Securities by the Corporation to which this clause (ii) applies. Upon expiration of any Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised or converted and for which an adjustment shall have been made pursuant to this clause (ii), the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof shall upon expiration be recomputed as if the only additional shares of Common Stock issued were such shares of Common Stock (if any) actually issued upon exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of such Convertible Securities (whether or not exercised or converted) plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise of conversion. (iii) In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including, without limitation, any distribution of stock or other securities or property or rights or warrants to subscribe for securities of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries by way of dividend or spin-off), on its Common Stock, other than (A) regular quarterly dividends payable in cash in an aggregate amount not to exceed 15% of net income from continuing operations before extraordinary items of the Corporation, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, during the period (treated as one accounting period) commencing on July 1, 1998, and ending on the date such dividend is paid or (B) dividends or distributions of shares of Common Stock which are referred to in clause (i) of this paragraph G, then, and in each such case, the conversion ratio shall be adjusted so that the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, upon the conversion thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (1) the applicable conversion ratio on the day immediately prior to the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the period of 20 Trading Days preceding such record date, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the period of 20 Trading Days preceding such record date, less the Fair Market Value (as defined in Article IX) per share of Common Stock (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, a certified resolution with respect to which shall be mailed to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock) of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that in the event of a distribution of shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Corporation (a "Spin-Off") made to holders of shares of Common Stock, the numerator of such fraction shall be the sum of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the period of 20 Trading Days preceding the 35th Trading Day after the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Current Market Price of the number of shares (or the fraction of a share) of capital stock of the Subsidiary which is distributed in such Spin-Off in respect of one share of Common Stock for the period of 20 Trading Days preceding such 35th Trading Day and the denominator of which shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock for the period of 20 Trading Days proceeding such 35th Trading Day. An adjustment made pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be made upon the opening of business on the next Business Day following the date on which any such dividend or distribution is made and shall be effective retroactively immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution; provided, however, if the proviso to the preceding sentence applies, then such adjustment shall be made and be effective as of such 35th Trading Day after the effective date of such Spin-Off. (iv) For purposes of this paragraph G, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation.
Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price Securities of any series which are convertible shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article Seventeen. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Seventeen, at any time during the period specified in the Securities, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption, in which case such conversion right shall terminate on the date such default is cured. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Price") of Securities of any series shall be specified in such Securities. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 1704. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, declare or make a distribution on its Common Stock referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 1704, the Holder of each Security, upon the conversion thereof pursuant to this Article Seventeen subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution pursuant to paragraph (4) of Section 1704, shall be entitled to receive for each share of Common Stock into which such Security is converted, the portion of the evidence of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) with respect to all Holders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such Holder any portion of such distribution not consisting of cash or securities of the Company, pay such Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee). If any conversion of a Security entitled to the benefits described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs prior to the payment date for a distribution to holders of Common Stock which the Holder of the Security so converted is entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may elect (such election to be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) to distribute to such Holder a due bill xxx the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets to which such Holder is so entitled, provided that such due bill (x) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of indebtedness or assets no later than the date of payment or delivery thereof to holders of Common Stock receiving such distribution.
Conversion of Hours where an employee is granted vacation pursuant to this article, and where the regularly scheduled workday is greater than seven hours per day, the annual vacation entitlement shall be converted to hours on the basis of a seven-hour day and deducted accordingly.
Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.

For greater certainty, the principal amount of the Debenture that is converted shall be entitled to interest up to the Conversion Date, such interest to be paid on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, together with interest on that portion of the principal that was not converted. The Company's delivery to the Holder of the number of Common Shares (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof) into which the Debenture is convertible will be deemed to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay the principal amount of the Debenture. The Holder shall promptly deliver to the Company and the Company, in turn, to the transfer agent of the Common Shares, notification of such Notice of Conversion at the address described in Section 105 The Debenture shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day of surrender of the Debenture for conversion (the "Conversion Date") in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holder, as holder of the principal amount of the Debenture so converted, shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares at such time.

Mandatory Conversion Provided an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or giving of notice could become an Event of Default has not occurred, then, until the Maturity Date, the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) of compelling the Holder to convert all or a portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal of the Note and accrued interest, thereon, into Common Stock at fifty percent (50%) of the Conversion Price, as adjusted, then in affect (“Mandatory Conversion”). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion, which notice must be given on the first day following twenty (20) consecutive trading days (“Lookback Period”) during which the closing price for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the Principal Market shall be greater than Five Dollars ($5.00) each such trading day and during which twenty (20) trading days, the daily trading volume as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market is greater than 100,000 shares. The date the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is given is the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Note which is subject to Mandatory Conversion. Mandatory Conversion Notices must be given proportionately to all Holders of Notes. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal and interest for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date. Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date and the Borrower will be required to deliver the Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice in the same manner and time period as described in the Subscription Agreement. A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may be given only in connection with an amount of Common Stock which would not cause a Holder to exceed the 4.99% (or if increased, 9.99%) beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 2.3 of this Note.
Conversion of Note (a) Upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the Shares will be unlegended, free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Company Shares provided the Shares are being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the Shares to be sold or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold. (b) Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission. The Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date. The Company will or cause the transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to the Subscriber via express courier for receipt by such Subscriber within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery Date"). A Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided to the Subscriber, if requested by Subscriber. To the extent that a Subscriber elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note. (c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount described in Section 9.2 hereof, beyond the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to the Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon Conversion of the Note or late payment of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, as the case may be, for each $10,000 of Note principal amount being converted or redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by the Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that late payment charges described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company. (d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.
Adjustment of Conversion Rate The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder. (a) If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: where, CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date; OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and OS’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: where, CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date; OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
ADS Conversion Fee by any Holder of ADS(s) being converted or by any person to whom the converted ADSs are delivered, a fee not in excess of U.S. $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or fraction thereof) converted from one ADS series to another ADS series (e.g., upon conversion of Partial Entitlement ADSs for Full Entitlement ADSs, or upon conversion of Restricted ADSs into freely transferrable ADSs, and vice versa). The Company, Holders, Beneficial Owners, persons depositing Shares or withdrawing Deposited Securities in connection with ADS issuances and cancellations, and persons for whom ADSs are issued or cancelled shall be responsible for the following ADS charges under the terms of the Deposit Agreement: (a) taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) and other governmental charges; (b) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of Shares or other Deposited Securities on the share register and applicable to transfers of Shares or other Deposited Securities to or from the name of the Custodian, the Depositary or any nominees upon the making of deposits and withdrawals, respectively; (c) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement to be at the expense of the person depositing Shares or withdrawing Deposited Property or of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs; (d) in connection with the conversion of Foreign Currency, the fees, expenses, spreads, taxes and other charges of the Depositary and/or conversion service providers (which may be a division, branch or Affiliate of the Depositary). Such fees, expenses, spreads, taxes and other charges shall be deducted from the Foreign Currency; (e) any reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in such conversion and/or on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners in complying with currency exchange control or other governmental requirements; and (f) the fees, charges, costs and expenses incurred by the Depositary, the Custodian, or any nominee in connection with the ADR program. All ADS fees and charges so payable may be deducted from distributions or must be remitted to the Depositary, or its designee, and may, at any time and from time to time, be changed by agreement between the Depositary and Company but, in the case of ADS fees and charges payable by Holders and Beneficial Owners, any such change (excluding any changes to the waiver by the Depositary of fees and charges contemplated in the Deposit Agreement) may be made only in the manner contemplated by paragraph (23) of this ADR and as contemplated in Section 6.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall provide, without charge, a copy of its latest ADS fee schedule to anyone upon request. ADS fees and charges for (i) the issuance of ADSs and (ii) the cancellation of ADSs will be payable by the person for whom the ADSs are so issued by the Depositary (in the case of ADS issuances) and by the person for whom ADSs are being cancelled (in the case of ADS cancellations). In the case of ADSs issued by the Depositary into DTC or presented to the Depositary via DTC, the ADS issuance and cancellation fees and charges will be payable by the DTC Participant(s) receiving the ADSs from the Depositary or the DTC Participant(s) holding the ADSs being cancelled, as the case may be, on behalf of the Beneficial Owner(s) and will be charged by the DTC Participant(s) to the account(s) of the applicable Beneficial Owner(s) in accordance with the procedures and practices of the DTC Participant(s) as in effect at the time. ADS fees and charges in respect of distributions and the ADS service fee are payable by Holders as of the applicable ADS Record Date established by the Depositary. In the case of distributions of cash, the amount of the applicable ADS fees and charges is deducted from the funds being distributed. In the case of (i) distributions other than cash and (ii) the ADS service fee, the applicable Holders as of the ADS Record Date established by the Depositary will be invoiced for the amount of the ADS fees and charges and such ADS fees may be deducted from distributions made to Holders. For ADSs held through DTC, the ADS fees and charges for distributions other than cash and the ADS service fee may be deducted from distributions made through DTC, and may be charged to the DTC Participants in accordance with the procedures and practices prescribed by DTC from time to time and the DTC Participants in turn charge the amount of such ADS fees and charges to the Beneficial Owners for whom they hold ADSs. In the case of (i) registration of ADS transfers, the ADS transfer fee will be payable by the ADS Holder whose ADSs are being transferred or by the person to whom the ADSs are transferred, and (ii) conversion of ADSs of one series for ADSs of another series, the ADS conversion fee will be payable by the Holder whose ADSs are converted or by the person to whom the converted ADSs are delivered. The Depositary may reimburse the Company for certain expenses incurred by the Company in respect of the ADR program established pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, by making available a portion of the ADS fees charged in respect of the ADR program or otherwise, upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the Depositary agree from time to time. The Company shall pay to the Depositary such fees and charges, and reimburse the Depositary for such out-of-pocket expenses, as the Depositary and the Company may agree from time to time. Responsibility for payment of such fees, charges and reimbursements may from time to time be changed by agreement between the Company and the Depositary. Unless otherwise agreed, the Depositary shall present its statement for such fees, charges and reimbursements to the Company once every three months. The charges and expenses of the Custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary. The obligations of Holders and Beneficial Owners to pay ADS fees and charges shall survive the termination of the Deposit Agreement. As to any Depositary, upon the resignation or removal of such Depositary as described in Section 5.4 of the Deposit Agreement, the right to collect ADS fees and charges shall extend for those ADS fees and charges incurred prior to the effectiveness of such resignation or removal.
