" "Conversion Price" means an amount equal to the lessor of

the event that the closing bid price of the Common Stock as
reported by NASDAQ or on other securities exchanges or markets
on which the Common Stock is listed for the previous five (5)
trading days is $3.50 or greater, the foregoing Gating
Restrictions shall not apply as long as the closing bid price
for the previous five (5) trading days is $3.50 or greater. In
addition, if the Common Stock is not traded on the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market or the electronic bulletin board, the
foregoing Gating Restrictions shall no longer apply. As used

described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
