Conversion Rights.
(c) General. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock in the ratio of Six Hundred Thousand (600,000) shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent immediately upon the availability of a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, whether pursuant to a stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, the effectiveness of the filing of an amendment to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, or otherwise.
(d) Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional share in an amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) of the event triggering automatic conversion pursuant to Section 6(a), and at such time the rights of the holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock as a holder shall cease, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock as and after such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, and upon surrender of the certificate evidencing such share of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at any office or agency of the Corporation maintained for the surrender of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 6(b).
