This Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company, on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
This Note will be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Ohio, without reference to principles of conflicts of law. Any controversy, claim or
dispute arising out of or relating to this Note or the breach, termination, enforceability or
validity of this Note, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the agreement
to arbitrate set forth in this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by binding arbitration in
the City of Columbus, Ohio. The arbitration shall be governed by the rules and procedures of the
American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and its
Supplementary Procedures for Large, Complex Disputes; provided that persons eligible to be selected
as arbitrators shall be limited to attorneys-at-law each of whom (a) is on the AAA’s Large, Complex
Case Panel or a Center for Public Resources (“CPR”) Panel of Distinguished Neutrals, or has
professional credentials comparable to those of the attorneys listed on such AAA and CPR Panels,
and (b) has actively practiced law (in private or corporate practice or as a member of the

one arbitrator mutually agreed to by the parties to such proceeding (who shall have the credentials
set forth above) or, if the parties are unable to agree to the arbitrator within 15 business days
of the initiation of the arbitration proceedings, then by the AAA. No provision of, nor the
exercise of any rights under, this paragraph shall limit the right of any party to request and
obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Ohio, County of Franklin (which shall
have exclusive jurisdiction for purposes of this paragraph) before, during or after the pendency of
any arbitration, provisional or ancillary remedies and relief including injunctive or mandatory
relief or the appointment of a receiver. The institution and maintenance of an action or judicial
proceeding for, or pursuit of, provisional or ancillary remedies shall not constitute a waiver of
the right of any party, even if it is the plaintiff, to submit the dispute to arbitration if such
party would otherwise have such right. Each of the parties hereby submits unconditionally to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the County of Franklin, State of
Ohio for purposes of this provision, waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in any such
court or that any such court provides an inconvenient forum and consents to the service of process
upon it in connection with any proceeding instituted under this paragraph in the same manner as
provided for the giving of notice under the Note Purchase Agreement. Judgment upon the award
rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties hereby expressly consent to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated in the County of Franklin,
State of Ohio for this purpose and waive objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or
that such court provides an inconvenient forum. The arbitrator shall have the power to award
recovery of all costs (including attorneys’ fees, administrative fees, arbitrators’ fees and court
costs) to the prevailing party. The arbitrator shall not have power, by award or otherwise, to
vary any of the provisions of this Note.
