1BWarrants. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance of and will concurrently issue to each Holder a Common Stock Purchase Warrant representing the right to purchase initially such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the Principal Amount specified on the face of such Holder’s Note (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Warrants”), such Warrants to be in the form of Exhibit B. The Holder shall receive a Warrant (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Warrant”) representing the right to purchase an aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock of the Company as specified in Exhibit A.
1CAllocation of Purchase Price.

The Holder and the Company agree that this Note and the Warrant constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. The Holder and the Company mutually agree that the allocation of the issue price of such investment unit between this Note and the Warrant in accordance with Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(h) shall be an aggregate amount of $0.384 per $1.00 of Purchase Price to be allocated to the Warrant and the balance of the Purchase Price allocated to this Note, and neither the Holder nor the Company shall take any position inconsistent with such allocation in any tax return or in any judicial or administrative proceeding in respect of taxes.

2INTEREST.
2AInterest Rate. Subject to paragraph 2B below, this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed) (i) on the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount at the rate of 4.00% per annum from the date hereof, payable on the Maturity Date and quarterly in arrears on the last day of September, December, March and June in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with the first such date next succeeding the date hereof (the “First Interest Payment Date”), until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and upon any prepayment or repayment of this Note, and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under paragraph 7A(iv)), on the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount and any interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Accrued Interest), in each case in respect of the Note, automatically at a rate per annum from time to time equal to the Default Rate, payable quarterly as aforesaid (or at the option of the Holder, on demand).
2BInterest Payments. On each Interest Payment Date, interest accrued on this Note since its issuance (in the case of the First Interest Payment Date) or otherwise since the last Interest Payment Date shall be paid in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of making the interest payments on this Note in cash on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may, at its option, with notice to the Holder at the commencement of the applicable interest period, elect to accrue interest for such interest period (such accrued interest, including all additional interest in respect of such interest as described further below, the “Accrued Interest”). All such Accrued Interest shall bear additional interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed) at the rate of 4.00% per annum from the date of the applicable Interest Payment Date, compounded quarterly. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accrued Interest shall not be added to the outstanding Principal Amount. The Accrued Interest shall be due and payable upon the earliest of (i) the conversion of this Note in accordance with paragraph 3, (ii) the exercise of the Holder’s put option or rights to prepayment in accordance with paragraphs 5A(2) or 5A(3), (iii) the Company’s repayment in full in cash of this Note and all other obligations hereunder and (iv) the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Company elects for interest to accrue, then (a) the Company may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Holder, elect to repay any such Accrued Interest in cash at any time and from time to time and (b) the Holder may elect in writing (such request, an “Accrued Interest Conversion Election Notice”) at any time and from time to time, including upon its receipt of the notice referenced in clause (a) above, to have the Company convert any such Accrued Interest into shares of Common Stock in accordance with paragraph 3B below.
3CONVERSION; LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP.
3AConversion of Principal. At any time and from time to time following the Funding Date, subject to paragraphs 3C and 3K hereof, the unpaid Principal Amount then outstanding under this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) that portion of the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note then outstanding that the Holder elects to convert by (ii) the Applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date on which the Company
receives a notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (each, a “Conversion Notice”) from the Holder, duly executed, to the Company (each, a “Principal Conversion Date”). With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Company shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion Date.
3BConversion of Accrued Interest. In the event that the Holder elects to have Accrued Interest converted into shares of Common Stock, subject to paragraphs 3C and 3K hereof, such Accrued Interest shall be convertible into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) that portion of the unpaid Accrued Interest that the Holder elects to convert by (ii) the greater of (a) the last closing bid price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ on the date the Company receives the Accrued Interest Conversion Election Notice (each, an “Accrued Interest Conversion Date”) and (b) the Applicable Conversion Price (each, an “Accrued Interest Conversion Price”).
3CMechanics of Conversion.
3C(1)Issuance of Certificates. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (each, a “Delivery Date”), the Company shall, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (which number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event any fractional share may otherwise be issuable upon such conversion and the Company shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Applicable Conversion Price or Accrued Interest Conversion Price, as applicable) to which the Holder shall be entitled upon conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest (the “Conversion Shares”), in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee).
3C(2)Buy-Ins. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Conversion Shares pursuant to a conversion on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s 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 anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (a) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (b) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the Principal Amount (or applicable portion thereof) or Accrued Interest, as applicable, for which such conversion was not honored (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. 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 all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest, as applicable, into shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to
the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest, as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3DAdjustment of Conversion Price. Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Applicable Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to paragraph 3D(1) hereof):
3D(1)Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Funding Date effect a split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Funding Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this paragraph 3D(1) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.
3D(2)Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Funding Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(i)the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance; and
(ii)the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock issued in payment of such dividend or distribution.
3D(3)Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Funding Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than as described in paragraph 3D(1) or 3D(2)) or in cash or other property, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon conversion hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note been converted on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Principal Conversion Date or the Accrued Interest Conversion Date, as the case may be, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph 3D with respect to the rights of the Holder.
3D(4)Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange, Substitution, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. If the Common Stock at any time or from time to time after the Funding Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class or classes of stock or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution, reorganization, consolidation, merger, transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in paragraphs 3D(1), 3D(2) or 3D(3) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Applicable Conversion Price or otherwise) so that thereafter this Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution, reorganization, consolidation, merger, transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution, reorganization, consolidation, merger, transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any
other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
3D(5)Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this paragraph 3D but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company’s board of directors, acting in good faith and consistent with its fiduciary duties, shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Applicable Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder.
3ERecord Date. In the event of:
(i)any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or
(ii)any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or any other Change of Control; or
(iii)any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, and in each such event, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying (a) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (b) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is anticipated to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or other Equity Interests) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other Equity Interests) for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.
3FNo Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Organizational Documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest, as applicable, above the amount payable therefor on such conversion, and (ii) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest, as applicable.
3GCertificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.
3HIssue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of all
or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
3IReservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times after the Funding Date and while this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount and all Accrued Interest thereon (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion). The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations under this paragraph 3.
3JRegulatory Compliance.
3J(1)General. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest require registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
3J(2)Antitrust Notification. If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the advice of counsel, that the conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), the Company shall file as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company receives notice from the Holder of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such conversion (and in any event the Company shall make such filing no later than seven (7) Business Days after the date on which the Holder filed with the FTC and DOJ the notification and report form required to be filed by the Holder pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such conversion). Any such notification and report form will be in full compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. The Company will furnish to the Holder and the Holder shall furnish to the Company promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after receipt of a reasonable request therefore) such information and assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any filing or submission required to be filed by the Holder or the Company under the HSR Act. The Company and the Holder shall respond promptly after receiving any inquiries or requests for additional information from the FTC or the DOJ during the HSR waiting period. Each party shall keep the other apprised periodically and at the other party’s request of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC or the DOJ. The Holder shall bear all filing or other fees required to be paid by the Company and the Holder (or the “ultimate parent entity” of the Holder, if any) under the HSR Act or any other applicable law in connection with such filings and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Company and the Holder in connection with the preparation of such filings and responses to inquiries or requests. In the event that this paragraph 3J(2) is applicable to any conversion of all or any portion of the Principal Amount or Accrued Interest, the acquisition by the Holder of the Note Shares subject to such conversion shall be subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act (with the Principal Conversion Date or the Accrued Interest Conversion Date being deemed to be the date immediately following the date of such expiration or early termination).
3KLimitation on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive Equity Interests of the Company (i) upon conversion of this Note (in whole or in part) into the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with paragraph 3A, or (ii) upon the Company’s conversion of all or any portion of the Accrued Interest into the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with paragraphs 2B and 3B, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) that such conversion or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under
the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. This limitation on beneficial ownership (a) may be increased, decreased or terminated, in the Holder’s sole discretion, upon sixty-one (61) days’ notice to the Company by the Holder and (b) shall terminate automatically on the date that is fifteen (15) days' prior to the Maturity Date. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the occurrence of either of clauses (i) or (ii) above prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following the occurrence of either of clauses (i) or (ii) above is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this paragraph 3K apply, the determination of whether this Note is convertible and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder and the submission of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder's determination that the issuance of the full number of Note Shares requested in the Conversion Notice is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding, it being understood that the Holder may rely on such confirmation from the Company for purposes of the Holder’s determination referenced in the preceding sentence. The provisions of this paragraph 3K shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.
