1.

Mechanics of Conversion.


a.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, one or more of the Debentures may be converted, in part or in whole, into shares of Common Stock, at any time or times after the Issuance Date, at the option of Holder or the Corporation, by (i) if at the option of Holder, delivery of a written notice to the Corporation (the “Holder Conversion Notice”), of the Holder’s election to convert the Debenture, or (ii) if at the option of the Corporation, if the Equity Conditions are met, delivery of a written notice to Holder (the “Corporation Conversion Notice” and, with the Holder Conversion Notice, each a “Conversion Notice”), of the Corporation’s election to convert the Debenture.  On the same Trading Day on which the Corporation has received the Holder Conversion Notice or issued the Corporation Conversion Notice (as the case may be) by 11:59 a.m. Eastern time, or the following Trading Day if received after such time or on a non-Trading Day, the Corporation shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Holder Conversion Notice or issuance of the Corporation Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Corporation’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and shall authorize the credit by the Transfer Agent of such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such Conversion Notice to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Corporation (DTC) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, time being of the essence.


b.

No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of a Debenture, but rather the Corporation shall issue to Holder scrip or warrants in registered form (certificated or uncertificated) which shall entitle Holder to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share.


c.

The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original certificates for the Debenture in order to effect a conversion hereunder.


d.

The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares to Holder.

Holder Conversion.  In the event of a conversion of any Debenture pursuant to a Holder Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder of such Debenture a number of Conversion Shares equal to the following:  (i) (a) the Corporation Redemption Price, less any accrued but unpaid dividends, multiplied by (b) the number of such Debenture subject to the Holder Conversion Notice, divided by (c) the Conversion Price with respect to such Debenture; plus (ii) (a) the Interest Amount, divided by (b) the Market Price.


3.

Corporation Conversion.  In the event that the Closing Price of the Common Stock exceeds 250% of the Conversion Price with respect to a Debenture for any 20 consecutive Trading Days, upon a conversion of any Debenture pursuant to a Corporation Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder of such Debenture a number of Conversion Shares equal to (a) the Early Redemption Price multiplied by (b) the number of such Debenture subject to the Corporation Conversion Notice divided by (c) the Conversion Price with respect to such Debenture.


4.

Stock Splits.  If the Corporation at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time on or after such Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.


5.

Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section I.H.4, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Holder could have acquired if Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of all Preferred Stock held by Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
