<U>Pro Rata Distributions</U>. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock
(i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph),
(iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, &ldquo;Distributed Property&rdquo;),
then, at the request of the Investor delivered before the 90th day after the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled
to receive such distribution, the Company will deliver to the Investor, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on
the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that the Investor would have been entitled to receive in respect of
the Underlying Shares for which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property
is not delivered to the Investor pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon any conversion of this Note that occurs after such record
date, the Investor shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed
Property that the Investor would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Underlying Shares had the Investor been the
record holder of such Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8(b) shall
not apply to any distribution of rights or securities in respect of adoption by the Company of a shareholder rights plan, which events
shall be covered by Section 8(a).</FONT></P>

of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to
which holders of Common Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock
covered by Section 8(a) above) (in any such case, a &ldquo;<B>Fundamental Transaction</B>&rdquo;), then upon any subsequent conversion
of this Note, the Investor shall have the right to receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion
absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of
one share of Common Stock (the &ldquo;<B>Alternate Consideration</B>&rdquo;). For purposes of any such conversion, the Company shall
apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different
components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to
be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Investor shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives
upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction.</FONT></P>

Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property (other than compulsory share exchanges which constitute Change of
Control transactions), the Investor shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares only into the shares of stock and other
securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification or
share exchange, and the Investor shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such shares of the Note could have been converted
immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications or share exchanges.</FONT></P>
