(a) Capital Adjustments. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Note subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or stock split, or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Note shall forthwith be automatically increased proportionately in the case of a subdivision, split or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Conversion Price and other applicable amounts, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Conversion Shares purchasable under this Note (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 3(a) shall become effective automatically at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation.

In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Conversion Price, provided the Aggregate Conversion Price payable shall remain the same.
(c) Dilutive Issuances. If the Company at any time while this Note is outstanding shall issue any convertible debt (“Convertible Debt”) entitling any person to acquire in excess of 100,000 shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) or if the holder of any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (‘Common Stock Equivalents”) issued in connection therewith shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price (such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the Aggregate Conversion Price Payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Conversion Price, shall be equal to the Aggregate Conversion Price Prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Convertible Debt, Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents constituting a Dilutive Issuance are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. Exempt Issuances shall not include (1) shares of Common Stock and options, warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock issued or issuable to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to stock grants, restricted stock purchase agreements, option plans, purchase plans, incentive programs or similar arrangements; (2) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding at the issue date of this Note; (3) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement, provided, that such issuances are unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; and (4) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
