ARTICLE III

CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION

3.1 Conversion Option. At any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date, up to fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note (the “Conversion Amount”) shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder (the “Conversion Option”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”) as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the Conversion Amount as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”), duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number (000) 000-0000, Attn.: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Vice President — Finance) (the “Conversion Date”); provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.5 below. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion Date.

3.2 Conversion Price. The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.26, subject to adjustment under Section 3.5 hereof.

3.3 Mechanics of Conversion.

(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker shall deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “Delivery Date”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Maker or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such conversion is in connection with a sale by the Holder and the Holder has complied with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements or an exemption from such registration requirements (each as evidenced by documentation furnished to and reasonably satisfactory to the Maker). If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker.

(b) The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC (or, if applicable, certificates), or fails to deliver unlegended certificates representing such shares if required pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof, by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered (if applicable), together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

3.4 Ownership Cap and Certain Conversion Restrictions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that the Holder waives the limitations contained in this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section

3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Maker with a Waiver Notice that the Holder waives the limitations contained in this Section 3.4(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of Section 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) shall not be applicable when calculating any adjustment to the Conversion Price hereunder or any other adjustments under Section 3.5 hereof.

3.5 Adjustment of Conversion Price.

(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) hereof):

(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance 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 Section 3.5(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance 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 or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(A) 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 or the close of business on such record date; and

(B) 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 or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance 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 Maker or any other Person other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.5(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.5(a)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution 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 or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Maker (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 3.5(a)(iv)), or a merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or

consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Maker’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change, (A) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change has a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Maker or any successor corporation resulting from such Organic Change, and (B) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change does not have a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, the Holder shall have the right to accelerate the maturity of this Note. In any case referenced in clause (A) above, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(v) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(v) (including any adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.

(vi) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Maker, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any additional shares of common stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 3.5(a)) (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or to be received by the Company for the shares so issued (or deemed issued) would purchase at such Conversion Price, and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or deemed issued). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price upon any issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock if the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Series A Notes waive in writing such adjustment.

(vii) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. The provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(vii) shall apply if (A) the Maker, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Notes or Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or (B) any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, other than the Warrants (“Rights”) (Convertible Securities and Rights hereafter being collectively referred to as the “Common Stock Equivalents”) shall be issued or sold. If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock is issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be (or is subsequently adjusted to be) less than the applicable

Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended or adjusted shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance, amendment or adjustment shall be adjusted as provided in subsection (vi) of this Section 3.5(a), with the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents being deemed to have be issued or sold by the Company at the time of issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents. For purposes of this Section 3.5(a)(vii), the “price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (X) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exercise thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all such Common Stock Equivalents. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents, and if any such issue or sale of Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Rights for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of Section 3.5(a)(vi), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(viii) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:

(A) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or

(B) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable

Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.5(a)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker; or

(C) other than as set forth above, for any non-cash consideration, the value of the consideration other than cash received by the Maker shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration, as determined mutually in good faith by the Maker’s Board of Directors and the Holder or, if the Maker’s Board of Directors and the Holder fail to agree, at the Maker’s expense by an appraiser selected the Maker’s Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Holder.

(b) Record Date. In case the Maker shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.

(c) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Maker shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with any of the following: (i) issuance of the Notes, Preferred Stock or Warrants to the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement; (ii) issuances of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Note, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Note to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of any such securities (including the Notes, Preferred Stock and Warrants issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement); (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, but not including a transaction with an entity whose primary business is investing in securities or a transaction, the primary purpose of which is to raise capital; or (iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock in payment of interest on the Notes, or as a dividend or distribution on the Preferred Stock.

(d) No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Certificate 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 the Maker, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.5 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.

(e) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker 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 and readjustments, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

(f) Issue Taxes. The Maker 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 this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

(g) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

(h) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note or any interest accrued thereon 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 Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

3.6 Inability to Fully Convert.

(a) Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Maker cannot issue shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement if required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker (i) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, (ii) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (iii) fails to have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement, then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice and,

with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option (and in addition to all other remedies hereunder), can elect to:

(A) require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125% of the portion of aggregate principal amount of this Note that Maker was unable to convert to Common Stock (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”);

(B) if the Maker’s inability to fully convert is pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(iii) above, require the Maker to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with such holder’s Conversion Notice; or

(C) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice).

(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Maker shall immediately send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.6(a) above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Notice of Inability to Convert”). Such Inability to Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy such holder’s Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted, and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price. The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.6(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Maker (“Election Upon Inability to Convert”).

(c) Payment of Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Notes prepaid pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(A) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Election Upon Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Election Upon Inability to Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within five (5) business days following the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Election Upon Inability to Convert (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Mandatory Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Note, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Note be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the

Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment and (B) the lowest Closing Price during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment.

(d) Pro-rata Conversion and Prepayment. In the event the Maker receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of the Series A Notes on the same day and the Maker can convert and prepay some, but not all, of the Series A Notes pursuant to this Section 3.6, the Maker shall convert and prepay from each holder of the Series A Notes electing to have its Series A Notes converted and prepaid at such time an amount equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the principal amount of the Series A Notes held by such holder relative to the principal amount of the Series A Notes outstanding) of all the Series A Notes being converted and prepaid at such time.

3.7 Prepayment Upon Triggering Event.

(a) Prepayment Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to all other rights of the Holder contained herein, after a Triggering Event (as defined below), the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Maker to prepay all or a portion of this Note in cash at a price equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest and (B) the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest hereon, divided by the Conversion Price on (x) the date the Prepayment Price (as defined below) is demanded or otherwise due or (y) the date the Prepayment Price is paid in full, whichever is less, multiplied by the VWAP on (x) the date the Prepayment Price is demanded or otherwise due, and (y) the date the Prepayment Price is paid in full, whichever is greater, and (ii) all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of this Note and the other Transaction Documents (the “Prepayment Price”). If the Holder demands payment of the Prepayment Price pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Maker shall deliver such payment to the Holder within 5 business days after the receipt of such demand.

(b) Triggering Event. A “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

(i) any Event of Default pursuant to Sections 2.1 (b), (c) or (d) shall have occurred;

(ii) the Maker’s notice to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its inability to comply or its intention not to comply with proper requests for conversion of any Notes into shares of Common Stock; or

(iii) the Maker deregisters its shares of Common Stock and as a result such shares of Common Stock are no longer publicly traded; or

(iv) the Maker consummates a “going private” transaction and as a result the Common Stock is no longer registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

3.8 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.
