Conversion. The Holder of this Bond is entitled, at his option, at any time on or before the close of business on February 17, 2005 to convert this Bond at the principal amount hereof plus any interest accrued into fully paid and non assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest share) of the common stock, twenty (.20 ) cent par value, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") at the rate of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.14 Dollar principal amount plus accrued interest outstanding by surrender of this Bond accompanied by written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A", to the Corporation that the Holder elects to convert this Bond or, if less than the entire amount is to be converted, the portion hereof to be converted. 2. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment as calculated by the Corporation if the Corporation shall (i) pay a dividend on Common Stock in Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares. Whenever a conversion rate is adjusted under this Bond, the Corporation shall promptly notify the Holder of the Bond setting forth the conversion rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 3. Covenant to Reserve Shares for Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose to issue upon conversion of the Bond, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of the Bond. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. 4. Recourse to Corporation Only. The Holder of this Bond shall not have recourse for the payment of principal of, or interest on, this Bond or for any claim based on this Bond, against any director, officer, representative, or stockholder, past, present, or future, of the Corporation. By acceptance of this Bond, the Holder waives any such claim against any such person. 5. Registration. If the Corporation proposes for any reason to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), it shall promptly give written notice to the Holder and, upon, the written request, given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice, of the Holder to register any Common Stock into which the Bond is convertible, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause such Common Stock to be included in such registration under the Securities Act. In the event that the proposed registration by the Corporation is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of the Common Stock of the Corporation, if the managing underwriter determines and advises in writing that the inclusion of all Common Stock proposed to be included in the underwritten public offering would interfere with the successful marketing of the Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the registration shall be reduced, pro rata, among the Holders of all Bonds and the Stockholders of the Corporation as determined in the discretion of the managing underwriter in consultation with the Corporation. If the Common Stock is not then registered, the share certificate shall contain an appropriate legend. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Bond to be executed in its corporate name by the signature of its Chairman and the corporate seal shall be imprinted hereon and attested by the signature of the secretary of the Corporation.
