     (b) Conversion Date. This Note shall convert on a date which is ten (10) days after Kips Bay’s receipt of the Conversion Notice, (the “Conversion Date”), into Four Million Six Hundred Forty Thousand (4,640,000) shares of common stock of Kips Bay.

Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the Conversion Date, and the person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of the Conversion Shares on such date.

     (d) Reservation of Shares. Kips Bay agrees that, during the period within which this Note may be converted, Kips Bay will at all times have authorized and in reserve, and will keep available solely for delivery upon the conversion of this Note, such number of shares of common stock as may be issued upon conversion hereof, free and clear of all restrictions on issuance, sale or transfer other than those imposed by law and free and clear of all preemptive rights. Kips Bay agrees that the Conversion Shares shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.

     (e) Acquisition. Kips Bay shall provide Holder at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the anticipated closing of any Acquisition. Upon receipt of such notice, Holder shall have the right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 5(a) prior to the occurrence of an Acquisition at the price per share set for an Acquisition. In the event Holder elects not to convert this Note, then the successor corporation in the Sale Transaction shall (i) execute with the Holder an agreement providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon conversion of this Note the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of common stock into which this Note was convertible immediately prior to such consolidation or merger, (ii) make effective provision in its articles of incorporation or otherwise, if necessary, in order to effect such agreement, and (iii) set aside or reserve, for the benefit of the Holder, the stock, securities, property and cash to which the Holder would be entitled upon conversion of this Note.

     (f) Protection Against Dilution.

     (i) In the event of any reclassification or change of the common stock into which this Note may be converted (other than a change in par value or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), or in the event of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into Kips Bay in which Kips Bay is the continuing corporation and in

which there is a reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the common stock into which this Note may be converted (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon conversion of this Note the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of the common stock for which this Note was convertible immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then and in each such case the Maker Kips Bay hall give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder affected by such adjustment at the address of the Holder as shown on the books of Kips Bay, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares receivable at such price upon the conversions of the Convertible Note, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

     (ii) Except for (a) the issuance of an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares to Manny Villafana and individuals designated by Manny Villafana; (b) the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock issued or issuable to officers, directors, and employees of, or consultants to, Kips Bay pursuant to stock grants, option plans, purchase plans or other stock incentive programs or arrangements approved by the Kips Bay’s board of directors as described in Section 5 of the Investment Agreement; (c) shares of common stock issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions pursuant to a debt financings or commercial leasing transaction approved by the board of directors, (d) shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other business entity by the Kips Bay merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement, provided that such issuances are approved by the Kips Bay board of directors; or (e) shares of common stock issued in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, if, and whenever, Kips Bay at any time while this Note is unsatisfied, shall issue shares of common stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that is convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the fully diluted number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of shares of common stock or such common stock equivalents plus the number of shares of common stock which the maximum aggregate consideration received or receivable by Kips Bay in connection with the issuance or exercise or conversion, as the case may be, of such shares of common stock or common stock equivalents would purchase at the Conversion Price then in effect, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of common stock so issued or issuable, provided, that for purposes hereof, all shares of common stock

that are issuable upon exercise or exchange of common stock equivalents shall be deemed outstanding immediately after the issuance of such common stock equivalents.

     Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then and in each such case Kips Bay shall give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holder affected by such adjustment at the address of the Holder as shown on the books of Kips Bay, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares receivable at such price upon the conversions of the Convertible Note, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
