The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. Any Opinion Letter required to effectuate the issuance of the shares pursuant to this Paragraph 4(a) and the Notice of Conversion shall be provided and issued by Company. The Holder may use another attorney in it’s sole discretion for the opinion. The parties hereby agree that the Holder will cover all legal costs associated with the issuance of the Opinion Letter to the Transfer Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default the Holder may require the Company to, at such Holder’s option and otherwise in accordance with the provisions for conversion herein, convert all or any part of this Note into Common Stock at the Alterative Conversion Price.
“Alternative Conversion Price” means 50% of the lowest traded price in the twenty (20) days prior to the Conversion Date.
