The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to each such holder of Series B Preferred upon the conversion described in the immediately preceding sentence is set forth next to each such holder’s name on Schedule I hereto. In accordance with Section 5(b)(ii) of the Series B Certificate, the Company agrees to pay the holders of Series B Preferred the accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion, if any, on the Series B Preferred in cash on the Expiration Date. The Company and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock hereby agree that this Agreement shall be deemed an effective Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Series B Certificate) and the delivery of Certificates (as defined below) representing the Series B Preferred to the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be deemed to satisfy any and all obligations of the holders thereof under Section 5(c) of the Series B Certificate with respect to such conversion, and no further action on the part of the holders thereof shall be required.

Subject to Section 1(e) hereof, the Company shall determine the exact time of day on the Expiration Date in which such conversion shall be effective.
(c) Conversion of Series A Notes. Subject to Section 1(e), each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note hereby irrevocably elects, consents and agrees to convert each Series A Note (including all accrued but unpaid interest on such notes) that it holds into shares of Series A Preferred pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.3 of the Series A Note, effective as of the Expiration Date (the “Note Conversion”). The Security Holder hereby agrees that (i) the Company will be deemed to have offered to prepay the applicable Series A Note pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Series A Note, (ii) each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note hereby elects to be prepaid by conversion pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.3(a) of the Series A Note whereby each such holder’s Series A Note will be converted into Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 1.3 of the Series A Note, and (iii) each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note hereby waives any and all provisions of the Series A Notes regarding the requirements and mechanics of such conversion, including without limitation, the right to receive notice, the condition precedent that there shall be in effect a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the underlying shares, and the requirement of the Company to deliver certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred issuable upon conversion thereof. In accordance with Section 3 of each the Series A Note, the Company will pay to each holder cash in lieu of fractional shares that such holder of Series A Notes would otherwise be entitled to receive upon the Note Conversion. Each holder of Series A Notes

acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, but is not required to, issue certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred issuable upon the Note Conversion, and if the Company determines not to issue such certificates, the certificates representing the Series A Note shall represent shares of Series A Preferred after the Note Conversion for all purposes. Each holder of a Series A Note hereby irrevocably elects, consents and agrees to contemporaneously convert the Series A Preferred it receives in the Note Conversion in accordance with Section 1(a) above. The Company and each holder of a Series A Note agrees that the conversion of Series A Preferred shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 1(a) with the same force and effect as if each holder of a Series A Note was a holder of Series A Preferred share as of the date hereof. Subject to Section 1(e) hereof, the Company shall determine the exact time of day on the Expiration Date in which both such conversions shall be effective. Effective immediately upon the receipt by each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note of the Offer Price for each share of Common Stock tendered pursuant to this Agreement, all pledges, guarantees, security interests, liens and other encumbrances related to the Series A Notes or arising out of any agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the Series A Notes granted to each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note shall automatically be deemed to be terminated and released. Each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note will promptly execute and deliver to the Company (or its legal counsel) any such lien releases, mortgage releases, discharges of security interests (including in respect of intellectual property), pledges and guarantees and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are necessary to release, as of record, the security interests and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note with respect to the Series A Notes or any agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the Series A Notes, provided, however, that such releases shall be filed and become effective only following the receipt by each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note of the Offer Price for each share of Common Stock tendered pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the receipt by each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note of the Offer Price for each share tendered pursuant to this Agreement, (1) each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note hereby authorizes the Company (or its legal counsel) to prepare and file all such UCC and other termination statements and related filings as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1(c), (2) each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note shall deliver to the Company (or its legal counsel) all instruments evidencing pledged debt, and (3) to the extent recordation of any applicable discharge or release document cannot be done by the Company (or its legal counsel), each Security Holder that holds a Series A Note, if requested to do so in writing by the Company, will promptly record such discharge or release document in the appropriate jurisdiction.
(d) Conversion of Company Warrants. Subject to Section 1(e) hereof, each Security Holder shall convert for cash all of such Security Holder’s Company Warrants, and shall be entitled to receive cash payments with respect to such Company Warrants from the Company as of the Effective Time, on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.4(e) of the Merger Agreement (the “Warrant Conversion”), provided however, that if the exercise price per share of any such Company Warrant is equal to or greater than the Offer Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement), such Company Warrant shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof. Each of the Company and the holders of the Company Warrants hereby waive any and all provisions of the Company Warrants regarding the requirements and mechanics of the exercise of such warrants, including without limitation, the holders’ of Company Warrants
4
right to receive notice and the requirement of the Company to deliver certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, and instead shall only be entitled to receive the consideration with respect to such Company Warrants as set forth in Section 4.4(e) of the Merger Agreement.

(f) Severability.

(j) No Waiver. The failure of any party to exercise any right, power, or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect of this Agreement at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party with its obligations under this Agreement, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power, or remedy or to demand such compliance.
(k) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed a contract made under, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
