it shall surrender this Note, and shall give written notice to the Payor
(the
"Conversion
Notice")
at its
principal office, of the election to convert the same at least five business

Payee
shall cooperate with Payor and provide Payor with additional documentation
or
information upon reasonable request in order to enable the Conversion Shares
to
be issued.
(b) Notice
of Conversion Pursuant to Section 4.2.
If this
Note is automatically converted pursuant to Section 4.2, written notice shall
be
delivered to the Payee of this Note at the address last shown on the records
of
the Payor for the Payee or given by the Payee to the Payor for the purpose
of
notice, or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the
principal office of the Payor is located, notifying the Payee of the conversion
to be effected and the applicable conversion price, the principal amount
of the
Note to be converted, the amount of accrued interest to be converted, the
date
on which such conversion will occur (the "Automatic
Conversion Date"
and
collectively with the Voluntary Conversion Date, the "Conversion
Date")
and
calling upon such Payee to surrender to the Payor, in the manner and at the
place designated, the Note.
(c) Mechanics

If this
Note is to be converted pursuant to this Section 4, (i) Payee shall tender

Payor this Note for cancellation on or prior to the Conversion Date and (ii)
as
soon as practicable following receipt of this Note for cancellation, but
in no
event later than ten business days following such receipt, the Payor shall
deliver to the Payee a certificate or certificates representing the number
of
shares of the Payor's Common Stock to which the Payee is entitled pursuant
to
this Section 4. Conversion of this Note shall be deemed to have been made
as of
the Conversion Date.
3
(d) No
Fractional Shares.
No
fractional shares of the Payor's Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of
this Note. In lieu of issuing any fractional shares of the Payor's Common
Stock,
Payor shall round up any conversion calculations so that only whole integrals
of
Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion.
(e) Effect
of Conversion.
The
delivery to the Payee of a certificate evidencing the shares of Common Stock
into which this Note has been converted shall be deemed to satisfy the Payor's

converted. Any interest converted shall be deemed paid and not cancelled,
extinguished or forfeited.

on Conversion.
The
Payor shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer
taxes
or any other taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common
Stock

(g) Reservation
of Common Stock.
The
Payor shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and
keep
available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares
of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of this Note. The Payor shall, from time to time in accordance with the law
of
the state of the Payer's incorporation, take such corporate action as shall
be
necessary to ensure that the Payor may validly and legally issue fully paid
and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock to effect the conversion of this
Note.
(h) Adjustment
for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger or Reclassification.
If
after the date hereof the Payor shall (i) effect a reorganization,
(ii) consolidate with or merge into any other person or entity, (iii)
change the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note into
the
same or a different number of shares of any class(es) or series of stock,
whether by reclassification or otherwise or (iv) sell or transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person or entity
under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Payor,
then,
in each such case, the Payee, upon the conversion of this Note as provided
in
this Section 4 at any time or from time to time after the consummation of
such
reorganization, consolidation, reclassification, merger or sale, or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in
lieu
of the shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion immediately prior
to
such consummation or such effective date, as the case may be, the stock and
property (including cash) to which the Payee would have been entitled upon
the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, reclassification or merger,
or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if the Note had
been
converted immediately prior thereto (assuming the payment by the Payee of
the
Conversion Price therefor as required hereby).
5. Piggy-Back
Registration Rights.
5.1. Defined
Terms.
As used
in this Section 5, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned
meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings
(such
definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms
defined):
4
(a) Registrable
Securities; Effectiveness Period.
The
term "Registrable
Securities"
shall
mean any shares of Payor's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. For the purposes of this
Section 5, securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when (A) a
registration statement under the Act, covering such Registrable Securities
has
been declared effective and (1) such Registrable Securities have been disposed
of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration
statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, (B) such Registrable
Securities are transferred pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A
promulgated thereunder, (C) such Registrable Securities are eligible for
sale
pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act (or any similar provision then in force)
or
(D) such Registrable Securities have been otherwise transferred and the Payor,
in accordance with applicable law and regulations, has delivered new
certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are
not
subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer ((A)
through
(D) collectively referred to herein as the "Effectiveness
Period").
(b) Rightsholders.
The
term "Rightsholder"
shall
include the Payee, all successors and assigns of the Payee and all transferees
of Registrable Securities where such transfer affirmatively includes the
transfer and assignment of the rights of the Payee under this Note with respect
to the transferred Registrable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing
to assume all of the Payee’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this
Note.
5.2. Piggy-Back
Registration.
(a) If,
at
any time on or after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the
Payor
proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an
offering by the Payor or any other party of any class of equity security
similar
to any Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form
S-4
or Form S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely
in
connection with a stock option or other employee benefit plan, an exchange
offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely
to
the existing stockholders or employees of the Payor), then the Payor, on
each
such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a "Piggy-Back
Notice")
of
such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registrable Securities
at least fifteen days before the anticipated filing date of such registration
statement, and such Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to
such
Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registrable
Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder
shall
have the right, exercisable for the five days immediately following the giving
of a Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a "Holder
Notice")
to the
Payor, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities
of such
Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Payor shall use reasonable
efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering
to permit the inclusion of the Registrable Securities which were the subject
of
all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and
conditions as any similar securities of the Payor included therein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2(1),
if
the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed
underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of
Registrable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that
the
total amount and kind of securities which they, the Payor and any other person
intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely
affect
the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered
for
the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Payor shall
be
eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by
such
Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent
necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such
offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the
managing underwriter’s written opinion.
5
(b) Number
of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses.
The
obligations of the Payor under this Section 5 shall be unlimited with respect
to
each Rightsholder. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof, the Payor
will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection with
any
registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to this Section
5, but
the Payor shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s
discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.
(c) Withdrawal
or Suspension of Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Section 5, the
Payor
shall have the absolute right, whether before or after the giving of a
Piggy-Back Notice or receipt of a Holder Notice, to determine not to file
a
registration statement to which the Rightsholders shall have the right to
include their Registrable Securities therein, to withdraw such registration
statement or to delay or suspend pursuing the effectiveness of such registration
statement. In the event of such a determination after the giving of a Piggy-Back
Notice, the Payor shall give notice of such determination to all Rightsholders
and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register or to
withdraw such registration statement, the Payor shall be relieved of its
obligation under this Section 5 to register any of the Registrable Securities
in
connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination
to
delay the registration, the Payor shall be permitted to delay or suspend
the
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.2 for the
same
period as the delay in the registration of such other securities. No
registration effected under this Section 5 shall relieve the Payor of its
obligation to effect any registration upon demand otherwise granted to a
Rightsholder under any other agreement with the Payor.
5.3. Registration
Procedures.
(a) Obligations
of the Payor.
The
Payor will, in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof,
as expeditiously as possible:
(1) prepare
and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")

registration statement under the Act on any appropriate form chosen by the
Payor, in the Payor’s sole discretion, which shall be available for the sale of
all Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of
distribution thereof set forth in all applicable Holder Notices, and use
the
Payor’s commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable; provided,

requested by such Rightsholder on a timely basis, in light of the requirements
of the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations.
6
(2) prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to a registration

all
other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such
Rightsholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such

on
such registration statement and until the Payor has addressed the comments
in a
supplemented prospectus and/or amended registration statement and/or
supplementally; (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or
state
governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such registration

suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening, in writing, of any proceeding for such purpose; and/or (v) the
occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements
included in such registration statement ineligible for inclusion therein
or any
statement made in such registration statement or prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in
any
material respect or that requires any revisions to such registration statement,
prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such registration
statement or prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
7
(6) use
reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of such registration statement at the earliest possible time
and
to prevent the entry of such an order;
(7) make
available for inspection by each Rightsholder whose Registrable Securities
are
included in such registration statement, any underwriter(s) participating
in any
disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any representative,
agent or employee of or attorney or accountant retained by any such Rightsholder
or underwriter(s) (collectively, the "Inspectors"),
all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the
Payor (collectively, the "Records")

cause the officers, directors and employees of the Payor to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with
such
registration statement; provided,
that
records which the Payor determines, in good faith, to be confidential and
which
it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the
Inspectors, unless (i) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to
a
subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the
disclosure of such Records is required by any applicable law or regulation
or
any governmental regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Rightsholder
or
underwriter; provided,
further,
that
such Rightsholder or underwriter(s) agree that such Rightsholder or
underwriter(s) will, upon learning the disclosure of such Records is sought
in a
court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Payor and allow the Payor,
at the Payor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of
the Records deemed confidential;
(8) cooperate
with the Rightsholder whose Registrable Securities are included in such
registration statement and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
Securities to be sold thereunder, not bearing any restrictive legends, and
enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered
in
such names as such Rightsholder or any managing underwriter(s) may reasonably
request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable
Securities;
(9) comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and promptly
make
generally available to its security holders an earnings statement covering
a
period of twelve months commencing, (i) in an underwritten offering, at the

underwriter(s), or (ii) in a non-underwritten offering, with the first month
of
the Payor’s first fiscal quarter beginning after the effective date of such
registration statement, which earnings statement in each case shall satisfy
the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act;
(10) provide
a
CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities not later than the effective
date of
the registration statement relating to the first public offering of Registrable
Securities of the Payor pursuant hereto;
(11) enter
into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary
form) and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the Rightsholders
holding a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration
statement or the managing underwriter(s) in order to expedite and facilitate
the
disposition of such Registrable Securities and in such connection, whether
or
not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the
registration is an underwritten registration, (i) make such representations
and warranties, if any, to the holders of such Registrable Securities and
any
underwriter(s) with respect to the registration statement, prospectus and

other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Rightsholders and
underwriter(s), (iii) obtain a "comfort" letter from the Payor’s independent
certified public accountants addressed to such Rightsholders and to the
underwriter(s), if any, which letters shall be in customary form and cover

in
connection with underwritten public offerings, and (iv) deliver such documents
and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Rightsholders holding
a
majority of such Registrable Securities and managing underwriter(s), if any,
to
evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting
agreement or other agreement entered into by the Payor; each such action
required by this clause (11) shall be done at each closing under such
underwriting or similar agreement or as and to the extent required thereunder;
and
8
(12) if
requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included

(b) Obligations
of Rightsholders.
In
connection with any registration of Registrable Securities of a Rightsholder

Rightsholder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that,
upon
receipt of any notice from the Payor of the happening of any Discontinuation

until such Rightsholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented prospectus
and/or amended registration statement or until it is advised in writing by
the
Payor that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus
or
registration statement; and
9
(3) It
shall
be a condition precedent to the Payor's obligation to take any action pursuant

Rightsholder, the intended method of disposition thereof and any other
information as the Payor shall reasonably request and as shall be required

or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus
or
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
a
prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not
misleading, except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any
such
untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such
Rightsholder furnished in writing to the Payor by such Rightsholder expressly
for use therein.
10
(b) Indemnification
by Rightsholder.
In
connection with any registration statement in which a Rightsholder is
participating, each such Rightsholder will be required to furnish to the
Payor
in writing such information with respect to such Rightsholder as the Payor
reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement
or prospectus, and each Rightsholder agrees to the extent it is such a holder
of
Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and each
other
such holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement
hereby agrees, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Payor,
the
directors and officers of the Payor and each person who controls the Payor
(within the meaning of the Act) and any agent thereof, against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees
and expenses) incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened
suit,
action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon any untrue
or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission
of a material fact necessary, to make the statements therein (in the case
of a
prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made)
not
misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or
omission is based upon information relating to such Rightsholder or other
holder
furnished in writing to the Payor expressly for use therein.
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.
Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.5 of written notice
of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat
thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim
indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Note, such indemnified party
shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat;
but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have
to
any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is
actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this Section 5.5.
In
case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying
party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the
obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action,
suit
or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties
to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional
to
those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict
between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case,
if the
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the
indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party;
it
being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially
similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for
the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time
for
the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the
indemnified party).
11
(d) Contribution.
If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 5.5 from the indemnifying party
is
unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to
the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party
on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the
allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law,
in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party
on
the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified
party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged
omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or
prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall
be
deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 5.5, any
legal
or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection
with
any investigation or proceeding.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or
by any
other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately
preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.5, no
holder of Registrable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and
contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum amount
received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities
as
contemplated herein.
