5. Optional Conversion.
(a) Each holder of outstanding shares of any series of Designated Preferred Stock shall have the right, exercisable by such holder (at its option) at any time or from time to time, to convert any or all of its shares of such series of Designated Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 5.

(b) Each holder of shares of any series of Designated Preferred Stock who exercises the right to convert any of such shares into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5 shall be entitled to payment of all declared but unpaid dividends accrued with respect to such shares of Designated Preferred Stock up to the applicable Conversion Date.
7 |
(c) Any holder of outstanding shares of any series of Designated Preferred Stock may exercise the right to convert any or all of its shares of such series of Designated Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5 by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation or at such other place as may be designated by the Corporation, the certificate or certificates for the shares of such series of Designated Preferred Stock to be converted (each a "Preferred Stock Certificate"), duly endorsed or assigned in blank to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating the number of shares represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate or Preferred Stock Certificates that such holder elects to convert and stating the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock are to be issued. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein, in each instance, as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder, at the place designated by such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in any share of Common Stock, as provided in Section 5(e) hereof, issuable with respect to the shares of any such series of Designated Preferred Stock so converted and a check or cash in payment of all dividends declared but unpaid, if any, with respect to the shares of any such series of Designated Preferred Stock so converted up to the applicable Conversion Date. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date, unless the transfer books of the Corporation are closed on such Conversion Date, in which event the holder shall be deemed to have become the stockholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open, provided that the Conversion Price with respect to the shares of any such series of Designated Preferred Stock so converted shall be that in effect on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a Preferred Stock Certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of such Preferred Stock Certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the unconverted number of shares of the series of Designated Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate, which new certificate shall entitle the holder thereof to all the rights, powers and privileges of a holder of such shares.
(d) If a holder of shares of any series of Designated Preferred Stock shall surrender more than one share of such series of Designated Preferred Stock for conversion at any onetime, then the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of such series of Designated Preferred Stock so surrendered.
(e) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of any series of Designated Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment for any such fractional interest in an amount equal to the Current Market Price thereof on the applicable Conversion Date. Fractional interests shall not be entitled to dividends, and the holders of fractional interests shall not be entitled to any rights as stockholders of the Corporation in respect of such fractional interest.
(f) For all purposes of this Section 5, the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Designated Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date, issue, or be deemed to have issued pursuant to Section 5(f)(iii)(D) hereof, any Additional Shares of Common Stock, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series D Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock, the Series D Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall automatically be lowered to a price equal to the consideration per share received by the Corporation for such issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock; provided that if such issuance or deemed issuance was without consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have received $0.01 of consideration for each of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued.
8 |
(ii) If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date, issue, or be deemed to have issued pursuant to Section 5(f)(iii)(D) hereof, any Additional Shares of Common Stock, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price of any series of Junior Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of such series of Junior Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall automatically be lowered to a price determined in accordance with the following formula:
CP2 = CP1 * (A +B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) "CP2" shall mean the Conversion Price of such series of Junior Preferred Stock in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock
(b) "CP1" shall mean the Conversion Price of such series of Junior Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(c) "A" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon· exercise of any options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Junior Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding options there for) immediately prior to such issue);
(d) "B" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CPI (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CPI); and
(e) "C" shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.
(iii) For the purposes of any adjustment of the Series D Conversion Price pursuant to Sections 5(f)(i) and 5(f)(ii) hereof, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(A) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock in whole or in part for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor, plus the value of any property other than cash received by the Corporation (determined as provided in Section 5(f)(iii)(B) hereof) plus the value of any other consideration received by the Corporation (determined as set forth in Section 5(f)(iii)(C) hereof).
9 |

(C) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for consideration in whole or in part other than cash or property, the value of such other consideration shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such other consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, irrespective of any accounting treatment; provided, however, that such fair market value of such other consideration as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate Current Market Price of the shares of Common Stock being issued, less any cash consideration paid for such shares (determined as provided in Section 5(f)(iii)(A) hereof) and less the fair market value of any property received by the Corporation for such shares (determined as set forth in Section 5(f)(iii)(B) hereof).
(D) With respect to (x) any warrants or options exercisable for shares of Common Stock, (y) any securities (including, without limitation, any series of Designated Preferred Stock or any class or series of Other Convertible Stock) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock or (z) any warrants or options to purchase, or other rights to subscribe for, such convertible or exchangeable securities:
(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock (said maximum number of shares being that set forth in the instrument relating to such options or rights to subscribe for Common Stock without giving effect to changes under or by reason of provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were granted or issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Sections 5(f)(iii)(A), (B) and (C) hereof), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance or grant of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Sections 5(f)(iii)(A), (B) and (C) hereof);

10 |
(3) if there is any change in the exercise price of, or number of shares deliverable upon exercise of, any such warrants, options or rights or upon the conversion or exchange of any such convertible or exchangeable securities, then the Conversion Price of such series of Designated Preferred Stock that was previously adjusted, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(f), as a result of the issuance of such warrants, options, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities shall automatically be readjusted in proportion to such change; and
(4) upon the expiration of any such warrants, options or rights or the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of such series of Designated Preferred Stock that was previously adjusted, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(f), as a result of the issuance of such warrants,options, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities shall be automatically readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have obtained had such warrants, options, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities not been issued.
(E) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding; the provisions of this Section 5(f) may be waived in any instance by the holders of two-thirds of the voting power of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting together as a single class, by delivery of a written notice of waiver to the Corporation.
(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Series D Original Issuance Date is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a stock split, subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or split-up, the Conversion Price of such series of Designated Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series of Designated Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
