During the Prepayment Period the Holder may convert the Conversion Amount pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.
Section 7. Conversion.
(a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time before the Maturity Date, upon written notice to the Company, the Holder may convert the Conversion Amount or any portion hereof into shares of the Company’s common stock by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price.
(b) Manner of Conversion.
(i) Voluntary conversion provided for in paragraph 7(a) above shall be effected by delivering the Original Convertible Note and a Notice of Conversion annexed hereto as Exhibit A to the Company as provided in this paragraph. The Notice of Conversion shall be executed by the Holder of this Convertible Note and shall evidence such Holder's intention to convert this Convertible Note or a specified portion hereof in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. U.S. mail or courier delivery shall be accepted by the Company at 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000. Any Accrued Interest will be calculated as of the Conversion Date and the calculated equivalent shares related thereto will be added to the calculated equivalent shares of the Principal amount in determining the Conversion Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the Conversion Shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The Company will confirm the Conversion Date, Conversion Price and the amount of Conversion Shares on the Notice of Conversion and promptly send the Notice of Conversion to the Holder either by facsimile, email, U.S. mail or courier.

When issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Conversion Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.
(ii) No later than five (5) Trading Days after a conversion has been effected, and subject to the Holder having returned the Convertible Note to the Company for cancellation, the Company’s stock transfer agent will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the Holder has specified.

|
(d)
|
Conversion Price Dilution Adjustment. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section, the Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 7(d).
|
(i) If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced, and if the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

Adjustment for Dividends. In the event the Company shall make or issue, or shall have issued, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or the distribution (other than a distribution otherwise provided for herein) payable in (a) securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock or (b) assets (including cash paid or payable out of capital or capital surplus or surplus created as a result of a revaluation of property, but excluding the cumulative dividends payable with respect to an authorized series of Preferred Stock), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holders of Convertible Notes shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the number of securities or such other assets of the Company which they would have received had their Convertible Notes been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities or such other assets receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph with respect to Holders.
|
(iv) Adjustment for Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise then and in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such Convertible Notes and receive the kind an amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by Holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Convertible Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
6
(v) Adjustment of Number of Shares. In the case the Company shall at any time issue Common Stock or convertible securities by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of such issuance (on the day following the date fixed for determining shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution) or decreased in the case of such subdivision or increased in the case of such combination (on the date that such subdivision or combination shall become effective).
(vi) No Adjustment for Small Amounts. Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to give effect to any adjustment in the Conversion Price unless and until the net effect of one or more adjustments, determined as above provided, shall have required a change of the Conversion Price by at least one cent, but when the cumulative net effect of more than one adjustment so determined shall be to change the Conversion Price by at least one cent, such change in the Conversion Price shall thereupon be given effect.
