Conversion Rate (as defined in the Notes) and the number of Initial
Warrant Shares issued or issuable pursuant to the Initial Warrants, and
thereafter means the sum of (i) the quotient of the aggregate outstanding
Principal of the Notes divided by the Conversion Price (as defined in the

Shares underlying unexercised Initial Warrants and (iii) the number of
Common Shares underlying unexercised but issued Additional Warrants.
