the Holder shall have the right, exercisable at any time from and after the date
of issuance of this Note until this Note is fully paid, to convert the entire
outstanding and unpaid Principal and Interest of this Note, in whole or in part,
upon delivery of a Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto (the date of

Borrower.
b) Subject to clause (c) below, the
“Conversion Price” per share of Borrower’s stock shall be the Conversion Price
stated in the Purchase Agreement.
c) The character and amount of securities
or other property issuable upon conversion of this Note and the Conversion Price

readjustment in the price or kind of securities issuable on the conversion of

certificate, certified and confirmed by an officer of the Company, setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon
which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
e) Borrower covenants and agrees at all
times to reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock that number of
shares of capital stock into which this Note may be converted. Borrower
represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note
shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who

Note.

ownership” by the Holder and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the

in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

control with the Company.
