Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (but in no event later than ten (10) days after the Conversion Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to the Holder as a certificate for the share of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, with such restrictive legends as deemed necessary by the Company.

C.           If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in this Section), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made ( by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.


 


D.           All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.


 


E.           Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 the Company, at its expense, will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and deliver to the Holder a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based.


 


F.           If at any time or from time to time after the date hereof there shall be: (i) a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 5 or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities of the Company prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person ( in each case, an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change, the Holder shall have the right but not the obligation to demand prepayment of this Note together with all unpaid accrued interest.
