Conversion Right. Subject to any limitation set forth in this Section 3(a), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date up to and including the Maturity Date (or earlier repayment pursuant to Section 1), the Holder shall have the right to convert any portion of the outstanding Principal (such requested amount, the “Conversion Amount”) into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4, at the Conversion Price (as defined below). Following the Company’s delivery of a Change of Control Notice to the Holder, the Holder shall have the right to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 3(a) until the actual effective date of such Change of Control (any such conversion, a “Change of Control Conversion”), after which time the Holder’s right to convert this Note shall terminate. Such request shall be made in writing delivered to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Conversion shall be effective upon the date of such request if received or such later date as may be requested by the Holder, but in no event later than the Maturity Date (the “Conversion Date”). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any such conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction down to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion, provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay any such taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance and delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such Common Stock unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such taxes or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such taxes have been paid or are not payable.
