Conversion at Option of Holder (A) This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 4) (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder prior to the Fifth (5th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the OTC or on a Subsequent Market; (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy its conversion; or (4) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would result in a violation of Section 3(a)(ii), then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)(A), shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted plus any interest due therein divided by the Conversion Price and multiplied by the highest closing price of the stock from date of the conversion notice till the date that such cash payment is made. Further, if the Obligor shall not have delivered any cash due in respect of conversion of this Debenture or as payment of interest thereon by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the Obligor, require the Obligor to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c), except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the provisions of this Section.
(C) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Obligor a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Conversion Notice"). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the "Conversion Date." Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Obligor in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
Optional Redemption at Election of Company Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder (an “Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 10th Business Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional Redemption Date” and such redemption, the “Optional Redemption”). The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice if there is an existing Event of Default or an existing event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company on the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.

Conversion/Continuation Option (a) The Borrower may elect (i) on any Business Day to convert Prime Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to BA Rate Loans, or (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert BA Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Prime Rate Loans or to continue such BA Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the BA Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion.
(b) Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (i) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (ii) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of BA Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from BA Rate Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Prime Rate Loans to BA Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of BA Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of, or conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 2.14.
(d) If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Loan that is a BA Rate Loan for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan will be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan.
(e) Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

(vii) the procedures a Holder must follow to exercise its repurchase rights under this Section 15.01 and a brief description of those rights. At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company. Simultaneously with providing the Company Notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information included in the Company Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

Repurchases of Notes under this Section 15.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(A) delivery to the Paying Agent by the Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 3 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in global notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case during the period beginning at any time from the open of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the first day of the Repurchase Period until the close of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the last day of the Repurchase Period;

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

Within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
(b) If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within 30 days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5 million, the Company will commence an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes.

Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.7 or (y) the Company shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period.

The Company shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:
(i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;
(ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and
(iii) the amount of the Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that no Advance may be continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Advance if (x) such continuation or conversion would violate any provision of this Agreement or (y) a Default or Event of Default exists.
