(d)           Mechanics of Conversion; Certificates for Conversion Shares.

Any Common Stock issued by the Company under this Note shall be fully paid and non assessable.


 


 (e)           Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the Company will be issued pursuant to this Note; any fractional amount resulting from conversion as described above shall be rounded up if one-half share or more, or down if less than one-half share.
