For avoidance of doubt, the proceeds from this Note shall not constitute an Equity Issuance, unless converted under this SECTION 8 hereof.
(b) CONVERSION PROCEDURE. To convert this Note pursuant to this SECTION 8, Lender must notify Borrower in writing pursuant to SECTION 9 hereof, and if the conversion is of the entire unpaid principal of, and interest on, this Note, then surrender this Note to Borrower. As promptly as practicable after delivery of an written notice to convert all or any portion of the Note in accordance with this SECTION 8(b), Borrower shall issue and deliver to Lender, a certificate or certificates for the full number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note in accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 8.
(c) CASH PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF FRACTIONAL SHARES.

(d) ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.
(i) If Borrower shall (A) pay a dividend or other distribution, in Common Stock, on any class of capital stock of Borrower, (B) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares by any means or (C) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares by any means (including, without limitation, a reverse stock split) (any such event being an "ADJUSTMENT EVENT"), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be decreased or increased as follows: the adjusted Conversion Price shall be equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Adjustment Event, multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such effective date, and whose denominator is the number of such shares outstanding immediately after such effective date. An adjustment made pursuant to this SECTION 8(d)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as the case may be;
(ii) The provisions of this SECTION 8(d) shall similarly apply to all successive events of the type described in this SECTION 8(d). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless cumulative adjustments would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this SECTION 8(d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this SECTION 8 shall be made by Borrower and shall be made to the nearest cent and Borrower shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereon. Notwithstanding anything contained in this SECTION 8(d) to the contrary, Borrower shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this SECTION 8(d), if the Board of Directors of Borrower has made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interests of Borrower, which determination shall be conclusive as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by Borrower to its stockholders shall not be taxable. Except as provided in this SECTION 8, no adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase Common Stock or any securities so convertible or exchangeable. In addition, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in the event of the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or exercise of options, preferred stock or warrants of Borrower outstanding on the date hereof, unless the conversion or exercise price thereof is changed after the date hereof (other than solely by operation of the anti-dilution provisions hereof); or pursuant to employee stock option or stock ownership plans, duly adopted by Borrower.
(iii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided herein, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with written notice of such adjustment setting forth the Conversion Price in effect after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(e) EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, OR SALE. In the event of (i) any reclassification (including, without limitation, a reclassification effected by means of an exchange or tender offer by Borrower) but excluding a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of Borrower with another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive securities or other property (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of the property of Borrower as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive securities or other property (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then Borrower or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall enter into an Amended and Restated Note providing that this Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities or other property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance which Borrower of this Note would have received if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance. Such Amended and Restated Note shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this SECTION 8. Whenever an Amended and Restated Note is entered into as provided herein, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with an Officer's Certificate setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such Amended and Restated Note. The provisions of this SECTION 8 shall similarly apply to all successive events of the type described in this SECTION 8.
(f) RESERVATION OF SHARES; SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS; LISTING OF COMMON STOCK. Borrower shall reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its Common Stock held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all of this Note.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, Borrower will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that Borrower may validly and legally issue Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. Borrower covenants that all Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of this Note will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance and delivery thereof. Borrower covenants that if any Common Stock issued or delivered upon conversion of this Note hereunder requires registration or approval of any governmental authority under any applicable federal or state law (excluding federal or state securities laws) before such Common Stock may be lawfully issued, Borrower will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
(h) NOTICE TO LENDER PRIOR TO CERTAIN ACTIONS. In the event that:
(i) Borrower shall declare or authorize any event which could result in an adjustment in the Conversion Price under SECTION 8(d) or require the execution of an amended and restated Note; or
(ii) Borrower shall authorize the combination, consolidation or merger of Borrower for which approval of any stockholders of Borrower is required, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Borrower in whole or in part; then, in each such case, Borrower shall give or cause to be given to Lender, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding Common Stock entitled to participate in such event, the date on which such event is expected to become effective or occur and the date on which it is expected that holders of outstanding Common Stock of record shall be entitled to surrender their shares, or receive any items, in connection with such event. The requirements of this section (h) will not apply to any reincorporation of the Borrower as a Delaware corporation.
