c.

Limitation on Conversion.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in no event (except (i) as specifically provided herein as an exception to this provision, or (ii) while there is outstanding a tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock) shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note, or shall the Company have the obligation to convert such Note to the extent that, after such conversion, the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or other convertible securities or of the unexercised portion of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Common Stock which are issuable upon the conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the Holder upon such conversion).

Nothing herein shall preclude the Holder from disposing of a sufficient number of other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder so as to thereafter permit the continued conversion of this Note.  The provisions of this Section 8(c) (i) do not apply to any Holder who is the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company without regard to the conversion of this Note, and (ii) may be waived by the Holder.
