In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the shares of its Series E Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock , the Company may not refuse conversion based onany claim that such holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series E Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock of such holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such holder in the amount of 150% of the Liquidation Value of Series E Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver shares of Common Stock 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. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(f)  If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reverse stock split or otherwise), then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Series E Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of each series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

(g)Adjustments for Distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9(g) shall not apply in respect of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or standard options to purchase Common Stock to directors, officers or employees of the Company in their capacity as such.
