Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, the stock certificate number and the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby which are accompanying the Notice of Conversion, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion and the applicable stock certificates to the Corporation by overnight delivery service (the “Conversion Date”).

c)

Mechanics of Conversion

(i)

Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Except as otherwise set forth herein, as soon as practicable after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery 

4

Date”), the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates with 144 restrictions representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock or a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). 

 

i.

Obligation Absolute;.  The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained and shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the Corporation shall pay any proceeds to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.  In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

ii.

Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will, as soon as practicable following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and at all times thereafter, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Corporation as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.  The Corporation 

5

covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable.  

iii.

Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock.

iv.

Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

Section 7. 

Certain Adjustments.

a)

Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to this Preferred Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b)

Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  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 Corporation, and the description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock.  For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) actually issued and outstanding.

6

c)

Notice to Holders.

i.      Adjustment to Conversion Price.  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 

 

ii     Special Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder.  If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock other than ordinary cash dividends; (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation; then in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the  stock books of the Corporation, at least 70 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  Any and all Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion shall be entitled to share in such transaction notwithstanding the record date of such transaction so long as the Holders of the Preferred Stock elect to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares prior to the expiration of such 70-day notice period. 

Section 8.  

Miscellaneous. 

a)
