(b) Common Stock Issuance Upon Conversion.
(1) Conversion Procedures. Upon any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the outstanding Principal Amount being converted and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Conversion Date shall be converted into such number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free of any liens, claims and encumbrances, as is determined by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount being converted and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Conversion Date by the then applicable Conversion Price. The date of any Conversion Notice hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”. If a conversion under this Note cannot be effected in full for any reason, or if the Holder is converting less than all of the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note having a Principal Amount equal to the amount of such outstanding Principal Amount as has not been converted. The Holder shall not be required physically to surrender this Note to the Company upon any conversion unless the full outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is being converted or repaid. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment. The Holder agrees that, if the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is less than the Principal Xxxxxx stated on the face of this Note, the Holder will not voluntarily transfer this Note at any time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without first surrendering this Note to the Company for issuance, without charge to the Holder, of a replacement instrument that reflects the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note. The Company will deliver such replacement instrument to the Holder as promptly as practical, but in no event later than three days, after surrender by the Holder.
(H) Stock Certificates. The Company will deliver to the Holder not later than three days after a particular Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates, for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of this Note.
(Hi) Liability for Late Delivery. If in any case the Company shall fail to issue and deliver the shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to this Note on the due date therefor, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have hereunder and under applicable law the Company shall pay or reimburse the Holder on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, incurred by the Holder as a result of such failure, so long as the Holder shall have given the Company a Holder Share Notice with respect to such shares of Common Stock.
(c) Conversion Price Adjustments.
(i) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. In the event that the Company shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution to all its stockholders, in shares of Common Stock, on any class of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary which is not directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Company, (B) split or subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had this Note been fully converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of such subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be. Any shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under clause (ii)below.
(ii) Rounding of Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 3(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3 or Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share.
(iii) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3(c), the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that any failure to so provide such notice shall not affect the automatic adjustment hereunder.
(iv) Notice of Certain Events. If:
A. the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or
B. the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a tender offer for, offer to purchase or redemption of its Common Stock; or
C. the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or
D. the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation, amalgamation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share of exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or
E. the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; or
F. there exists an agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound providing for a Change in Control Transaction, or a Change in Control Transaction has occurred;

(d) Reservation and Issuance of Underlying Securities. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion in full of this Note, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
(e) No Fractions. Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
(f) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, the applicable Conversion Notice, when given for such conversion shall be accompanied or followed by an assignment form for the applicable portion of this Note or such shares, as the case may be; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any such transfer.
(g) Cancellation. After the entire Principal Amount (including accrued but unpaid interest and default payments at any time owed on this Note) has been paid in full or converted into Common Stock, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled and the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices; provided, however, that the failure to surrender this Note shall not delay or limit such cancellation.

Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to the Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.
