No fraction of a share of Common Stock or scrip representing a fraction of a share of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion, but the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which the Notice of Conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes (and receives confirmation of delivery for) or emails the Notice of Conversion duly executed to the Company.

6.2. Conversion; Ownership Limitation and Waiver. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing (i) the amount of principal and interest to be converted by (ii) the Conversion Price.
6.3. Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be equal to the lower of (i) $0.10 (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions) and (ii) 80% of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the last completed trading day immediately preceding receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice.
6.4. No Shareholder Rights. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or any other person or entity the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company; and no dividends shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Note.
6.5. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) to assume the observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Note to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of the number of shares of common stock into which this Note is convertible which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.5. For purposes of this Section 6.5, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
6.6. Restrictions on Securities. This Note has been issued by the Company pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act. No part of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) the Company shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel (in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to Company) to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that have not been so registered and that have not been sold pursuant to an exemption that permits removal of the applicable legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR SUCH OFFERS, SALES AND TRANSFERS ARE MADE PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.
Upon the request of Holder to remove the foregoing legend from the stock certificate, if any, representing any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall remove the foregoing legend from such certificate or issue to Holder a new stock certificate free of any transfer legend if (a) with such request, the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form, substance and scope, to the effect that any such legend may be removed from such stock certificate or (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such securities is in effect.
