shall
be due and payable on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined).
This
Note
is one of a series of Notes (the “Notes”) being issued concurrently by Borrowers
pursuant to the terms of (i) that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated
as of
April 23, 2007, between the Borrowers, the Holder and others, and (ii) that
certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2007, as amended
(collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”). The “Issue Date” shall be the date
that this Note is issued by the Borrowers to the initial Holder described
herein
as evidenced by the date indicated immediately above the signature block
for the
Borrowers. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall
have
the meaning assigned to those terms in the Purchase Agreements.
The
following terms shall apply to this Note:
1.
Payment.
1.1 Interest.
Interest hereunder shall accrue from the Issue Date and is payable monthly
in
arrears on the last day of each month until the Maturity Date. During the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default the interest rate shall
be
increased by two percent (2%) per annum commencing on the date when the Event
of
Default was declared by Xxxxxx, and the applicable payments shall be increased
accordingly.
1.2 Maturity
Date.
On the
Maturity Date, the entire Face Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest
shall
be paid to the Holder without offset or deduction of any kind. The term
“Maturity Date” shall mean March 31, 2008.
1.3 Prepayment.
The
Note may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part; provided, the Holder
is
given at least ten (10) days prior written notice thereof and an opportunity
to
convert all or any portion of the Face Amount hereof. If paid in part, such
prepayment shall be applied first against the accrued but unpaid interest
with
the balance applied to the unpaid Face Amount.
1.4 Miscellaneous
Payment Terms.
All
payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made
in
lawful money of the United States of America in same day funds at the address
of
the Holder as provided in the Purchase Agreements, or to such other place
as the
Holder may direct. Whenever any payment on this Note shall be stated to be
due
on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be made on
the
next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included
in
the computation of interest payable on this Note. Each payment hereunder
shall
be credited first to interest then due and the remainder of such payment
shall
be credited to principal in inverse order of maturity.
2.
Conversion
Rights.
2.1 Conversion
into Parent’s Preferred Stock.
The
Holder shall have the right from and after the issuance of this Note and
thereafter at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert the Face
Amount
of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A-2 Convertible
Preferred Stock of Parent (the “Class A-2 Preferred Stock”). as such stock
exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock
or
other securities of Parent into which such stock shall hereafter be changed
or
reclassified, at the Conversion Price. Upon delivery to Parent of a Notice
of
Conversion, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the date of giving
of such
notice of conversion being a “Conversion Date”), Borrowers shall issue and
deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days from the Conversion
Date
that number of shares of Class A-2 Preferred Stock for the Face Amount of
the
Note converted in accordance with the foregoing together with all accrued
and
unpaid interest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of shares
of
Class A-2 Preferred Stock to be issued upon such conversion of this Note
shall
be determined by dividing that portion of the Face Amount of the Note to
be
converted, by the Conversion Price. Upon partial conversion of this Note,
a new
Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request
of the Holder, be issued by the Borrowers to the Holder for the unpaid Face
Amount of this Note which shall not have been converted or paid.
2.2 Conversion
Price.
Subject
to adjustment as provided elsewhere in this Section 2, the initial Conversion
Price per share of Preferred Stock shall be $1.00.
3.
Reservation
of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.
Parent
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Class A-2 Preferred Stock and Common Stock, as the case may be,
solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes such number of its
shares of Class A-2 Preferred Stock and Common Stock as shall from time to
time
be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Notes and the conversion of
the
Class A-2 Preferred Stock; as the case may be, and if at any time the number
of
authorized but unissued shares of Class A-2 Preferred Stock or Common Stock
shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Notes, in addition
to
such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder of this Note, Parent
will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion
of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares
of
Class A-2 Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, to such number
of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
4.
No
Impairment.
Parent
will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation 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 to be observed or performed
hereunder by Parent, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
out of all the provisions of this Note and in the taking of all such action
as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights
of the
Holder against impairment.
5.
Registration
Rights.
The
Holder has been granted certain registration rights by Parent pursuant to
the
terms of that certain First Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
entered into by Parent, Holder and others dated as of the date hereof, as

failure or delay on the part of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any
power,
right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall

single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other
or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All
rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive
of,
any rights or remedies otherwise available.
