(a) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities (such other persons or entities, the “Purchasers”) acquire more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the Purchasers or such other persons or entities associated or affiliated with the Purchasers), or (v) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), this Note, as to the Principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall thereafter, at the Holder’s election, be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
(b) Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the Principal hereof and accrued and unpaid interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
(c) Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock (whether by a stock split or otherwise), or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

For purposes of this Note, “Equity-Linked Securities” means any equity securities of the Company (including any Common Stock) and any equity-linked securities of the Company (including any instruments, warrants, options or rights to acquire any equity securities of the Company). For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any Equity-Linked Securities shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of such Equity-Linked Security, and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. For purposes of this Article 2, “Exempt Issuance” shall mean (a) the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees, consultants, service providers, officers or directors of the Company, pursuant to any other stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by the Company, (b) the issuance of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Note, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Note to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of such securities, and (c) the issuance of securities to bona fide third party purchasers on an arm’s length basis.

2.4 Notice as to Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Article 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
2.5 Reservation and Registration. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from all mortgages, charges, pledges, liens, hypothecations or other security interests (“Liens”), preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of this Article 2) upon the conversion of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, shall be registered for public sale in accordance therewith. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
