At the Issuer's option, all outstanding principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, of any Convertible Notes outstanding on the Maturity Date will be exchanged into shares of Common Stock at an exchange price equal to 80% of the market price as set forth in the Convertible Notes.
