Section 2. Interest.

a) Payment. The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then-outstanding principal amount of this Debenture at the rate of 10.75% per annum, payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1, in arrears, beginning on the first such date after the Original Issue Date, on each Conversion Date (as to that principal amount then being converted), on each Company Optional Redemption Date or Holder Optional Redemption Date (as to that principal amount then being redeemed) and on the Maturity Date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) (if any Interest

Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day), in cash.

b) Interest Calculations. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar-day periods and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Debenture is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Debenture (the “Debenture Register”).

c) Interest Make-Whole. Upon any conversion or redemption (other than pursuant to a Holder Optional Redemption) of all or any portion of this Debenture prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the present value of all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount being converted or redeemed after the date of such conversion or redemption if no payment of such principal amount were made prior to such third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, in cash (the “Interest Make-Whole”).

d) Calculation of Interest Make-Whole Shares. Amounts due under Section 2(c) (other than in connection with the payment of any Change in Control Redemption Price and any Mandatory Default Amount) may, at the option of the Company, be made in registered shares of Common Stock of the Company upon irrevocable notice to holders no less than two (2) trading days prior to the start of the Make-Whole Measurement Period, subject to satisfaction of the conditions in the immediately following sentence. Payment in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2(d) may only occur if each of the Equity Conditions shall have been met (unless waived in writing by the Holder) on each Trading Day during the Make-Whole Measurement Period and through and including the date such shares are issued to the Holder. When making any payment under Section 2(c) using common stock of the Company, the value of each such share of stock shall be determined based on ninety percent (90%) of the lower of the (i) VWAP for such stock for the ten (10)Trading Days immediately prior to the date such payment is due pursuant to Section 2(c) (“Make-Whole Measurement Period”), and (ii) the closing price of the stock on the day immediately preceding the conversion date or redemption date, as applicable; provided, that until and unless the Company has received any approval of its stockholders required under Amex Rule 713 or any equivalent rule of any other applicable Trading Market, the value of such shares used in such determination may

not be less than the closing price of the Common Stock on AMEX or such other applicable Trading Market on the execution date of the Purchase Agreement. In the event that the Company has not received the necessary approval under AMEX Rule 713 or any equivalent rule of any other applicable Trading Market, then such payment will be made in cash pursuant to Section 2(c).

e) Late Fee. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee on such unpaid interest (and not on the entire principal amount) at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Late Fees”) which shall accrue daily from the date such interest is due hereunder through and including the date of actual payment in full. In addition, subject to Section 8, if the Company does not meet the current public information requirements as in effect under Rule 144 as they may exist from time to time in respect of the Conversion Shares and the Holder cannot freely resell the Conversion Shares on a Trading Market pursuant to Rule 144 for a period of 3 months (a “Public Information Failure”), then, as of the first day following such Public Information Failure, interest on this Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to 12% per annum until such date as the Company satisfies the current public information requirements under Rule 144 such that the Holder is able to freely resell all the Conversion Shares on a Trading Market.

f) Increase in Interest Rate for Failure of Debenture or Exchanged Debenture to be DTC Eligible. In the event the Company fails to exchange this Debenture for an Exchanged Debenture that is DTC Eligible within 120 days from the Original Issue Date, then on the 121^st day the rate of interest payable to the Holder shall increase to 11.75% per annum until such time as the Holder has received an Exchanged Debenture that is DTC Eligible, at which time the rate of interest payable to the Holder shall return to 10.75% per annum.

g) Prepayment. Except as otherwise set forth in this Debenture, the Company may not prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Debenture without the prior written consent of the Holder.

Section 3. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges; Other Exchanges.

a) Different Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.

b) Investment Representations. This Debenture has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.

c) Reliance on Debenture Register. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

d) Exchange for DTC Eligible Debenture. The Company shall exchange and retire this Debenture for an Exchanged Debenture upon the completion of all necessary documentation to create the Exchanged Debenture and presentation of this Debenture to the Company by the Holder.

Section 4. Conversion.

a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, the principal amount of this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(c) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture has been so converted, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been paid. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver a valid objection to any Notice of Conversion promptly but in any event within 3 Business Days of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. Absent manifest error, the Holder’s records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s) shall be determinative. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $6.50, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

c) Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c) applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be; (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company; or (C) a more recent notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

d) Mechanics of Conversion.

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

ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date (unless the Holder is then an Affiliate of the Company) and (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture, (B) a bank check or wire of immediately available funds, at the Company’s option, in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, and (C) as to Conversion Dates that occur prior to the three year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, a bank check or wire transfer in the amount equal to the Interest Make-Whole. On or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date and (ii) the Effective Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(d) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

iii. Failure to Deliver Certificates. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates representing the principal amount of this Debenture unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Company.

iv. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such third Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the

Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder or its brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(d)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized

and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such Registration Statement.

vii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

viii. Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 5. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the

number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) [RESERVED]

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Debenture is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date referenced below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase underlying such rights or warrants, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming delivery to the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

d) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and periodic or extraordinary cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to 1 outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to 1 share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of 1 share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 5(e) and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

f) Change in Control Transaction. If the Fundamental Transaction is also a Change in Control Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right to cause the Company to redeem this Debenture or to have an adjustment of the Conversion Price and/or Conversion Shares, as set forth below. No later than 20 Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (such date of consummation of a Change of Control, the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof to the Holders (a “Change of Control Notice” and the date of such Change of Control Notice, the “Change of Control Notice Date”). Such Change of Control Notice shall state:

(A) the events causing the Change of Control;

(B) the Change of Control Date or anticipated Change of Control Date of such Change of Control;

(C) the purchase price and whether that price will be paid in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock; and

(D) if applicable, the expected determination of the adjustment to the Conversion Price as set forth pursuant to Section 5(f)(iii) below.

Simultaneously with the Change of Control Notice, the Company shall issue a press release and timely file a Form 8-K containing the information contained in the Change of Control Notice.

(i) Change in Control Redemption. At any time during the period (the “Change of Control Period”) beginning after a Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is five (5) Trading Days subsequent to the Change of Control Date as set forth in the Change of Control Notice, such Holder may require the Company to redeem (a “Change of Control Redemption”) all or any portion of such Holder’s Debenture by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the principal amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any principal amount of the Debenture subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the sum of 103% of the principal amount being redeemed together with 100% of any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and the Interest Make-Whole, if any (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). The Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within 5 Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(f), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the principal amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(f) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Conversion Shares, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the successor entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s Common Stock. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Debenture under this Section 5(f), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment

opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(f) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(ii) Adjustment to Conversion Shares Upon a Change of Control.

In connection with a Change of Control, the Company will increase the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture by a number of additional shares (the “Additional Shares”) for each $1,000 principal amount of Debenture when converted as described in this Section 5(f)(ii); provided that (A) such increase in Conversion Shares shall not take place if such Change of Control is not consummated and (B) the Company shall issue Conversion Shares (without such increase) on or prior to the fifth (5^th) Trading Day following the Conversion Date and the Additional Shares described in Section 5(f)(iii) hereof will be issued after the later to occur of (x) the fifth (5^th) Trading Day following the Change of Control Date and (y) the fifth (5^th) Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date. On and after the Change of Control Date, Holders entitled to receive Additional Shares pursuant to this Section 5(f)(ii) shall receive the kind and amount of securities (of the Company or another issuer), cash and other property receivable upon such Change of Control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture was convertible immediately prior to such Change of Control, after giving effect to any adjustment event, based on the number of Additional Shares set forth above.

The number of Additional Shares will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the Change of Control Date and the price of the Common Stock (the “Stock Price”). If the consideration for the Common Stock consists solely of cash, then the Stock Price will be the cash amount paid per share of the Common Stock. Otherwise, the Stock Price will be the average of the VWAPs for the 5 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Change of Control Date.

The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debenture to be added to the Conversion Shares issuable in connection with the Change of Control referred to in Section 5(f)(ii):

Number of Additional Shares


	Stock Price
	$5.47		$6.00		$6.50		$7.00		$7.50		$8.00		$8.50		$9.00		$9.50		$10.00

Additional Shares

Pricing Date		28.9710		24.3770		21.0950		18.3340		15.9470		13.8590		12.0170		10.3810		8.9190		7.6070
Pricing Date + 1 Year		28.9710		18.2100		15.6260		13.6360		11.9350		10.4480		9.1360		7.9690		6.9260		5.9870
Pricing Date + 2 Years		28.9710		15.5710		8.7830		7.6080		6.6950		5.8990		5.1960		4.5720		4.0140		3.5110
Pricing Date + 3 Years		28.9710		12.8210		4.3915		3.8040		3.3475		2.9495		2.5980		2.2860		2.0070		1.7555

The Stock Prices set forth in the table will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Price is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Price immediately prior to the adjustment to the Conversion Price and the denominator of which is the Conversion Price as so adjusted.

The exact Stock Price and Change of Control Date may not be set forth in the table, in which case:

(A) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Change of Control Date is between two Change of Control Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the Additional Share amounts set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the two Change of Control Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(B) if the Stock Price is in excess of $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Price), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Shares; and

(C) if the Stock Price is less than or equal to $5.47 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Price), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Shares.

g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding

as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

h) Notice to the Holder.

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, (E) the Company shall be subject to a Fundamental Transaction or a Change in Control Transaction, or (F) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Debenture Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

Section 6. Redemption.

a) Optional Redemption at Election of Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(a), at any time after the 2-year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, provided that the VWAP of the Common Stock has been at least 150% of the Conversion Price for any 20 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days, such 30 consecutive Trading Day period beginning only after the 2-year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, then, within 1 Trading Day of the end of such period, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder (a “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Company 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 Company Optional Redemption Amount on the 20^th Trading Day following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Company Optional Redemption Date”, such 20 Trading Day period, the “Company Optional Redemption Period” and such redemption, the “Company Optional Redemption”). The Company Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company may only effect an Company Optional Redemption if each of the Equity Conditions shall have been met (unless waived in writing by the Holder) on each Trading Day during the period commencing on the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date through to the Company Optional Redemption Date and through and including the date payment of the Company Optional Redemption Amount is actually made in full. If any of the Equity Conditions shall cease to be satisfied at any time during the Company Optional Redemption Period through to the Company Optional Redemption Date and through and including the date payment of the Company Optional Redemption Amount is actually made in full, then the Holder may elect to nullify the Company Optional Redemption Notice by notice to the Company within 3 Trading Days after it receives written notice from the Company that any such Equity Condition has not been met, in which case the Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void, ab initio. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Company Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full. The Company’s determination to effect a Company Optional Redemption shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding Debentures.

b) Optional Redemption at Election of Holder. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(b), at any time prior to the three month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Holder may deliver a notice to the Company (an “Holder Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of its election to require the Company redeem up to 25% of the original face principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the Holder Optional Redemption Amount on the 20^th Trading Day following the Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Holder Optional Redemption Date”, such 20 Trading Day period, the “Holder Optional Redemption Period” and such redemption, the “Holder Optional Redemption”). The Holder Optional Redemption

Amount is payable in full on the Holder Optional Redemption Date. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Holder Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.

c) Redemption Procedure. The payment of cash or issuance of Common Stock, as applicable, pursuant to a Company Optional Redemption or a Holder Optional Redemption shall be payable on the Company Optional Redemption Date or the Holder Optional Redemption Date, as applicable. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by 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 Company Optional Redemption Amount or the Holder 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 Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Section 6 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company. Upon completion of any redemption provided for under this Section 6, the Company will promptly and in no event later than four (4) Business Days file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material details of such redemption.

Section 7. Negative Covenants. As long as any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, unless the holders of at least 67% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries (whether or not a Subsidiary on the Original Issue Date) to, directly or indirectly:

a) other than Permitted Indebtedness and except as provided in the Credit Agreement, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including, but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom; provided, that, any such additional Indebtedness effected through the Credit Agreement, when combined with other existing Indebtedness of the Credit Agreement, shall not exceed $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount;

e) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Indebtedness, other than (i) the Debentures if on a pro-rata basis or (ii) regularly scheduled principal and interest payments as such terms are in effect as of the Original Issue Date, provided that such payments shall not be permitted if, at such time, or after giving effect to such payment, any Event of Default exists or occurs (unless such payments are required to be made under the Credit Agreement and are permitted to be made under the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement);

f) pay cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company;

g) enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Company which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such transaction is otherwise permitted under the Transaction Documents and are upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to it than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate; or

h) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 8. Events of Default.

a) “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
