Directors in its sole discretion) which would have been distributed to the
Holder if he had exercised his right to convert immediately prior to the record
date for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, immediately
prior to the date of such distribution.
(b) In case at any time the Company shall subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the

the Holder of this Convertible Note shall have the right thereafter and until
the expiration of the period of convertibility to convert this Convertible Note
into the kind and amount of shares, securities or assets receivable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Convertible Note might have
been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section

adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Conversion
Price.
