Related to Optional Conversion of Notes to Exchange Debt

• Conversion of Notes (a) Upon the conversion of a Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of a Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the legend set forth in Section 4(h). If and when a Subscriber sells the Conversion Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement including such Conversion Shares for registration has been filed with the Commission, is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and (ii) Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent that Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, the Company will reissue the Conversion Shares without restrictive legend and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable. In the event that the Conversion Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend indefinitely if such sale is intended to be made in conformity with Rule 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days if pursuant to the other provisions of Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, provided that Subscriber delivers reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion. (b) Each Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert its Note, interest, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit A to the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement. Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company’s Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within three days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”). In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber. A Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original Note to the Company. (c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof later than the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Subscribers. As compensation to Subscribers for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to each applicable Subscriber for late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note, the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note principal amount and interest (and proportionately for other amounts) being converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscribers, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the damages payable in connection with the Company’s default shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

• Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

• Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes (a) In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 16.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than five Business Days prior to the Redemption Notice Date (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a written notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Notice of Redemption”) (in all cases, the text of such Notice of Redemption shall be prepared by the Company) not less than 55 nor more than 70 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part; provided, however, that, if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent. In the case of any Optional Redemption in part, Holders of Notes not called for Optional Redemption will not be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate for such Notes in accordance with Section 14.03 and Section 16.02(c). The Redemption Date must be a Business Day. (b) The Notice of Redemption, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. (c) Each Notice of Redemption shall specify: (i) the Redemption Date (which must be a Business Day); (ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; (iv) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; (v) that Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date; (vi) the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes and the forms and amounts of consideration payable by the Company upon conversion; (vii) the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 14.03; (viii) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and (ix) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued, which principal amount must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof. A Notice of Redemption shall be irrevocable. (d) If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are not Global Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption, subject, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Holder of any Note (or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note) is reasonably not able to determine, before the close of business on the 55th scheduled Trading Day immediately before the relevant Redemption Date, whether such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, at any time before the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to such Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(v), in which case such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for, and each such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note called for redemption. The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any determination in connection with the foregoing.

• Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price Securities of any series which are convertible shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article Seventeen. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Seventeen, at any time during the period specified in the Securities, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption, in which case such conversion right shall terminate on the date such default is cured. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Price") of Securities of any series shall be specified in such Securities. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 1704. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, declare or make a distribution on its Common Stock referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 1704, the Holder of each Security, upon the conversion thereof pursuant to this Article Seventeen subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution pursuant to paragraph (4) of Section 1704, shall be entitled to receive for each share of Common Stock into which such Security is converted, the portion of the evidence of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) with respect to all Holders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such Holder any portion of such distribution not consisting of cash or securities of the Company, pay such Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee). If any conversion of a Security entitled to the benefits described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs prior to the payment date for a distribution to holders of Common Stock which the Holder of the Security so converted is entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may elect (such election to be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) to distribute to such Holder a due bill xxx the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets to which such Holder is so entitled, provided that such due bill (x) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of indebtedness or assets no later than the date of payment or delivery thereof to holders of Common Stock receiving such distribution.

• Conversion of Debentures Section 16.01.

• Conversion of Note (a) Upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the Shares will be unlegended, free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Company Shares provided the Shares are being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the Shares to be sold or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold. (b) Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission. The Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date. The Company will or cause the transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to the Subscriber via express courier for receipt by such Subscriber within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery Date"). A Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided to the Subscriber, if requested by Subscriber. To the extent that a Subscriber elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note. (c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount described in Section 9.2 hereof, beyond the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to the Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon Conversion of the Note or late payment of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, as the case may be, for each $10,000 of Note principal amount being converted or redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by the Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that late payment charges described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company. (d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.

• Optional Redemption of Notes Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued to but excluding the Redemption Date; and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). The Company shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.1 if on any date the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

• Optional Conversion of Advances Each Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.14, Convert all or any part of Advances made to such Borrower of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type or of the same Type but having a new Interest Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Borrower. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be Converted.

• Conversion of Preferred Stock If the Class is a class and series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, in the event that all outstanding shares of the Class are converted, automatically or by action of the holders thereof, into common stock pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s initial, underwritten public offering and sale of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act (the “IPO”), then from and after the date on which all outstanding shares of the Class have been so converted, this Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of shares of common stock into which the Shares would have been converted had the Shares been outstanding on the date of such conversion, and the Warrant Price shall equal the Warrant Price in effect as of immediately prior to such conversion divided by the number of shares of common stock into which one Share would have been converted, all subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

• Optional Conversion To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company. On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
