2.

Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a holder shall: (i) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (Attention: Secretary) and (ii) surrender or cause to be surrendered the original certificates representing the Series A1Preferred Stock being converted (the "Series Al Preferred Stock Certificates"), duly endorsed, along with a copy of a notice of conversion (the "Notice of Conversion", which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1) as soon as practicable thereafter to the Corporation. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a holder, the Corporation shall promptly send, via facsimile (or otherwise deliver), a confirmation to such holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation regarding the Conversion.
