Metalico, Inc.
Series C Convertible Note


Issuance Date: October 21, 2014		Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[?]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, METALICO, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to [?] or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the amount set out above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Series C Convertible Note (including all Series C Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Series A Convertible Notes, Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Notes” and such other Series A Convertible Notes, Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes, the “Other Notes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein or in Section 29 hereof shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Exchange Agreement.

(1) MATURITY. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, and accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, on such Principal and Interest. The “Maturity Date” shall be July 1, 2024, as may be extended at the option of the Holder.

(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. (a) Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears for each three-month period following the Issuance Date on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year and on the Maturity Date (each, an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being October 31, 2014. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date in kind, which shall accrete as additional Principal and be payable or convertible in accordance with the terms of this Note, including the provisions of Section 3(d), to the record holder of this Note on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Date and on the Maturity Date, with respect to the Interest to be paid on such date.

(b) Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to 16.50% per annum, payable in kind, which shall accrete as additional Principal and be payable or convertible in accordance with the terms of this Note, including the provisions of Section 3(d). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of Default.

(3) CONVERSION OF NOTES. The Principal of this Note and any accrued and unpaid Interest shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below); provided that if the Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) is received prior to such six (6) month anniversary, the Holder shall have the right to convert this Note at any time following such Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall only be permitted to effect a voluntary conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof prior to the Measuring Date (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Holder shall be entitled, at the Holder’s option, to receive either (x) a cash payment equal to the excess of the amount of the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest to be converted for such fractional share or (y) a whole share if the Holder converts an additional portion of its Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest so as to acquire one whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the amount of Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest to be converted pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such Principal amount and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”). The “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below), 110% of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock on each of the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days including the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days prior to April 30, 2015 and the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including April 30, 2015. For purposes of this Note, the “Measuring Date” shall mean the final Trading Day of the period consisting of each of the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including April 30, 2015.

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any or all of the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).

(ii) On or before the first (1^st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the Measuring Date, the Company shall transmit by facsimile notice to the Holder of the initial Conversion Price pursuant to Section 3(b), setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such Conversion Price. Within three (3) Trading Days of the later of (i) the Conversion Date or the Measuring Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and less than all of the Principal of this Note is being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(iii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail to issue a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest on or prior to the date which is three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion Failure”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages to the Holder for each Trading Day of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (1) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (2) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(iii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest so elected for conversion or on any date of the Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (y) below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (x) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (I) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (II) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

(iv) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall cause its transfer agent to maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by a Holder, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 17. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Principal amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest, and Late Charges, if any, converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date; provided, the Company shall also comply with the provisions of Section 3(a) in respect of fractional shares that would otherwise be issued. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 22.

(d) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note or otherwise issue shares of Common Stock hereunder, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or otherwise receive shares of Common Stock hereunder pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance, as applicable, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of the receipt of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates and any Other Notes since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. To the extent the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i), in lieu of issuing such shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall be entitled to receive rights to such shares pursuant to Section 4 of the Exchange Agreement.

(ii) Market Regulation. Unless and until the Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) has been obtained, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock combined with the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the other Securities (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) and shares of Common Stock underlying warrants issued to TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. or an affiliate thereof on or about the Closing Date (the “Warrants”), together with such shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Other Agreements (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) would, in the aggregate, exceed 9,645,043 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction) (which is less than 20% of 48,225,219 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof) (the “Exchange Cap”). Until such Stockholder Approval is obtained, (x) at any time during the Additional Common Shares Measurement Period (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note, and (y) at any time after the Additional Common Shares Measurement Period, no holder of the Notes shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of Notes, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (A) 80% of the Remaining Exchange Cap (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), multiplied by (B) such Holder’s Pro Rata Portion (with respect to each such holder of the Notes, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any holder of the Notes shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder. This Exchange Cap limitation shall in no way limit the application of the Conversion Price Adjustment provisions of Section 7 of the Notes other than in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued by the Company as a result of a conversion thereunder. For the purpose of this Note, “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Holder’s Original Series Notes outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and the Other Agreements by (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Original Series Notes held by all Investors outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and the Other Agreements.

(e) Right of Alternate Conversion.

(i) General. At any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, convert (each, an “Alternate Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Conversion, each, an “Alternate Conversion Date”) all, or any part of, the Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and any other amounts (including any premiums on such Principal and/or Interest) then outstanding hereunder or required to be paid to the Holder hereunder (whether payable in cash or shares of Common Stock) (the “Conversion Amount”) (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Conversion, the “Alternate Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at the Alternate Conversion Price.

(ii) Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, the Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(c) (with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 3(e) of this Note that the Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(e), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the applicable Alternate Conversion Amount to the Holder, such Alternate Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c) without regard to this Section 3(e).

(4) EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND NOTICE THEREOF.

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(i) the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on an Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of ten (10) Trading Days in any 365-day period;

(ii) the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, Company Redemption Date or redemption pursuant to a Change of Control, as the case may be, or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply with a proper request for conversion of any Notes into shares of Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of the Notes, other than pursuant to Section 3(d);

(iii) at any time following the tenth (10th) Business Day that the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full amount of Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(d) or otherwise);

(iv) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest, Late Charges, or other amounts when and as due under this Note (including, without limitation, the Company’s failure to pay any redemption amounts due hereunder) or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which the Holder is a party, except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest and/or Late Charges when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period of at least five (5) Business Days;

(v) any default under or acceleration prior to maturity of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3(a) of the Exchange Agreement) in the principal amount of at least $10,000,000 in respect of any default (other than in respect of a default under the TPG Agreement, which shall not result in an Event of Default) or at least $5,000,000 in respect of any acceleration prior to maturity other than with respect to any Other Notes but expressly including any acceleration under the TPG Agreement;

(vi) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors (collectively, “Bankruptcy Law”), (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official (a “Custodian”), (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;

(vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Company or any of its material Subsidiaries in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its material Subsidiaries or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its material Subsidiaries;

(viii) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $10,000,000 are rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $10,000,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment;

(ix) other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 4(a), the Company breaches (subject to the materiality thresholds, if any, applicable in the related Transaction Document in the provisions thereof relating to events of default, termination rights of any Buyer or the right to any damages to be paid by the Company under such Transaction) any express representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any material Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days;

(x) any breach or failure in any respect to comply with Section 8 or Section 13 of this Note; or

(xi) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Other Notes.

(b) Redemption Right.

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or email and overnight courier (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount of Principal of this Note the Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem and the date on which the Event of Default redemption shall occur (the “Event of Default Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Event of Default Redemption Notice. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”) equal to the product of (A) the amount of Principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest to be redeemed and (B) the Event of Default Redemption Premium, and shall be paid in accordance with the Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic (as defined in Section 8(b)) (it being understood that references therein to the Company Redemption Date shall be deemed references to the Event of Default Redemption Date).

(ii) Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If a Change of Control transaction is publicly announced at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but prior to redemption pursuant to an Event of Default Redemption Notice, the Holder may elect to receive the Change of Control Redemption Price instead of the Event of Default Redemption Price. If a Change of Control transaction is publicly announced within thirty (30) days following a redemption pursuant to an Event of Default Redemption Notice, the Holder shall be entitled to an additional payment equal to the additional amount the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Change of Control been publicly announced pursuant to this Section 4(b). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note or other payment payable under this Section 4(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Event of Default Redemption Premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(5) RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) such Fundamental Transaction is pursuant to an assumption, exchange, or other such agreement or document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders, and (ii) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a). Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

(b) Redemption Right.

(i) No sooner than sixty (60) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or email and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the earlier of Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or public announcement of a Change of Control and ending twenty (20) Trading Days after the date of the consummation of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount of Principal the Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem and the date on which the Change of Control redemption shall occur (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”), which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”) equal to the amount of the Company Redemption Price (as defined in Section 8(b)), and shall be paid in accordance with the Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic (as defined in Section 8(b)) (it being understood that references therein to the Company Redemption Date shall be deemed references to the Change of Control Redemption Date).

(ii) Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control as such redemption obligation shall constitute a debt obligation of the Company. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the amount of Principal to be redeemed under this Section 5(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 (including, without limitation, the right to receive the amounts set forth in Section 3(f)). The Change of Control Redemption Price will be payable regardless of whether the amount of Principal to be redeemed is redeemed for cash or converted to shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(f). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Change of Control redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(6) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

(a) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Purchase Rights. The provisions of Section 7(a) shall not apply with respect to any Purchase Rights, if the Holder elects to exercise such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such dividend or distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution to such extent) and such dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

(7) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(a), if and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (x) the Applicable Price and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (B) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Applicable Price by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable (except in connection with the issuance of Excluded Securities):

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a value determined by use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (the “Option Value”) and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company, less (II) the Option Value. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10^th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features but excluding the issuance of Excluded Securities), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

(d) Voluntary Decrease. The Company may at any time during the term of this Note reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.

(8) MANDATORY REDEMPTION AND OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) Holder’s Right of Mandatory Redemption.

(i) General. On the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date, the Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem all or any portion of this Note (a “Holder Mandatory Redemption”) by delivering written notice thereof to the Company (a “Holder Mandatory Redemption Notice”) at any time on or prior to such Holder Mandatory Redemption Date. The Holder Mandatory Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount of Principal the Holder is electing to have redeemed (the “Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount”) on the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the amount of Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon being redeemed (the “Holder Mandatory Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 8 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Holder receives the Holder Mandatory Redemption Price, the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3, and any such conversion shall reduce the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount. The Company shall deliver written notice (the “Company Notice”) to the Holder no earlier than twenty (20) Business Days and no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date stating the Holder’s right of redemption under this Section 8 for the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date.

(ii) Mechanics of Holder Mandatory Redemption. If the Holder elects a Holder Mandatory Redemption in accordance with Section 8(a)(i), then the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Holder on the applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption Date shall be redeemed by the Company, and the Company shall pay to the Holder on the later of (A) the applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption Date and (B) the second (2^nd) Business Day following receipt by the Company of the Holder Mandatory Redemption Notice (the “Holder Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Holder Mandatory Redemption Price. If the Company fails to redeem the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount on the Holder Mandatory Redemption Payment Date by payment of the Holder Mandatory Redemption Price on such date, then at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation shall be deemed a “Conversion Notice” pursuant to Section 3(c) for purposes of this Note), the Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of the Holder Mandatory Redemption Amount at 75% of the Optional Interest Price. Conversions made pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c).

(b) Company’s Right of Optional Redemption; Mandatory Redemption from Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales.

(i) Optional Redemption.

(A) At any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date and prior to April 30, 2015, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, subject to any required consent of the Company’s senior secured lenders, to redeem all or any portion of this Note (a “Company Redemption”) in integral multiples of $100,000 at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.

(B) At any time and from time to time on or after April 30, 2015, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, subject to any required consent of the Company’s senior secured lenders, to effect a Company Redemption in integral multiples of $100,000. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8(b)(i)(B) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Company Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (A) 130% of the sum of (x) the Principal being redeemed, and (y) accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, with respect to such Principal (such unpaid Interest amount together with the related Principal being redeemed, the “Principal Amount”), and (B) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the quotient obtained by dividing the Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, with respect to such Principal, being redeemed by the Conversion Price, and (y) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock on each of the five last Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Company Redemption Notice Date (as defined below) (the “Prepayment Formula Amount”); provided, that, 100% of the face value of the Principal Amount shall be paid for in cash on a dollar-for-dollar basis (the “Cash Payment”), and any amounts due in excess of such Principal Amount shall be paid in such number of freely tradable Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the excess of (i) the Prepayment Formula Amount determined as of the Company Redemption Date (as defined below) over (ii) the Cash Payment, and (y) 85% of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock on (i) each of the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of the Company Redemption Date and (ii) each of the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days commencing on the date of the Company Redemption Date (the final Trading Day of such fifteen (15) Trading Day period, the “Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date”) (the foregoing proviso herein referred to as the “Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic”); and provided further that in the event of an Equity Conditions Failure or the failure to receive Stockholder Approval during the period beginning on the Company Redemption Notice Date and ending on and including the Company Redemption Date, the foregoing Cash and Stock Payment Mechanic shall not apply to redemptions made pursuant to this Section 8(b)(i)(B), which such redemptions shall be made in cash only, in an amount equal to the Prepayment Formula Amount.

(ii) Mandatory Redemption from Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales.

(A) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of this Note redeemed by the Company pursuant to this Section 8(b) from the Net Proceeds (as defined in the TPG Agreement) of any Specified Asset Sales shall be redeemed for cash to be applied to the Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges being redeemed at par if such redemption occurs prior to April 30, 2015, or at a price in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) hereof if such redemption occurs on or after April 30, 2015.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall apply all Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales towards the retirement of certain of the Company’s outstanding Indebtedness in the following manner:

(1) First, any Net Proceeds of Revolver Priority Collateral (as defined in the TPG Agreement) sold in such Specified Asset Sales shall be applied to pay the principal of the Revolving Loans (as defined in the TPG Agreement) until paid in full;

(2) Second, subject to the right of the Term Loan Lenders (as defined in the TPG Agreement to waive such prepayment, the next $13,000,000 of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales shall be applied to prepay the principal of the Term Loans (as defined in the TPG Agreement) in the inverse order of maturity;

(3) Third, the next $4,489,671 of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales shall be applied first to redeem the Senior C Convertible Notes at a purchase price not to exceed par, if such redemption occurs prior to April 30, 2015, or at a purchase price determined in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) hereof if such redemption occurs on or after April 30, 2015, and second, to the extent any Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales remain from such $4,489,671 after the discharge in full of the outstanding principal amount of the Series C Convertible Notes, to redeem the Series B Convertible Notes at a purchase price not to exceed par if such redemption occurs prior to December 31, 2014, or at a purchase price determined in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) of the Series B Convertible Notes if such redemption occurs on or after December 31, 2014; and

(4) Fourth, the remaining Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales shall be applied (x) 35% (or 0% once (i) $13,469,013 of the Notes have been redeemed or (ii) the Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes have been redeemed) first to redeem the Senior C Convertible Notes at a purchase price not to exceed par if such redemption occurs prior to April 30, 2015, or at a price in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) hereof if such redemption occurs on or after April 30, 2015, and second to the extent any Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales remain from such 35% after the discharge in full of the outstanding principal amount of the Series C Convertible Notes, to redeem the Series B Convertible Notes at a purchase price not to exceed par if such redemption occurs prior to December 31, 2014, or at a purchase price determined in accordance with Section 8(b)(i)(B) of the Series B Convertible Notes if such redemption occurs on or after December 31, 2014 and (y) subject to the right of the Term Loan Lenders to waive such prepayment, 65% (or 100% once (i) $13,469,013 of the Notes have been redeemed or (ii) the Series B Convertible Notes and Series C Convertible Notes have been redeemed) to prepay the principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity; provided, that, no payments shall be made pursuant to clauses (2) through (4) above in this section until the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales equals $17,500,000 or greater; provided further, that until an aggregate amount of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales of at least $17,500,000 is received, the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds of Specified Asset Sales not applied pursuant to clause (1) above in this section shall be held in a deposit account subject to the sole dominion and control of the Agent (as defined in the TPG Agreement (the “Reserve Account”); provided, that if any amounts remain in the Reserve Account on or after December 31, 2014, then all such amounts on deposit therein at any time shall be applied to prepay the principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity.

(iii) Mechanics. The Company may exercise its redemption right under Section 8(b)(i), or shall effect a redemption pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii)(B)(3) or Section 8(b)(ii)(B)(4), as applicable, by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile or email and overnight courier to the Holder (the “Company Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to the Holder is referred to as the “Company Redemption Notice Date”). A Company Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Company Redemption Notice shall state the aggregate Principal of this Note subject to such Company Redemption pursuant to this Section 8(b) on the Company Redemption Date plus accrued and unpaid Late Charges (the “Company Redemption Amount”). Upon receipt of a Company Redemption Notice, if the Holder elects to convert any or all of the Principal to be so redeemed hereby, the Holder shall deliver to the Company written notice of such election, and the Principal and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon to be converted shall be so converted in accordance with Section 3(c) no later than the date on which the Company Redemption shall occur (the “Company Redemption Date”) which date (A) shall be set forth in the Company Redemption Notice and (B) shall not be less than five (5) Business Days nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the Company Redemption Notice Date.

(iv) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Redemption pursuant to Section 8(b), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to the Other Notes. If the Company elects to cause a Company Redemption pursuant to this Section 8(b) (or similar provisions under the Other Notes) with respect to less than all of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, then the Company shall require redemption of a Principal amount from the Holder and each holder of the Other Notes equal to the product of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the Company has elected to cause to be redeemed pursuant to Section 8(b), multiplied by (B) the fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the initial principal amount of Notes purchased by such holder and the denominator of which is the initial principal amounts of Notes purchased by all holders holding outstanding Notes (such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its “Redemption Allocation Percentage”, and such amount with respect to each holder is referred to as its “Pro Rata Redemption Amount”); provided that in the event that the initial holder of any Notes has sold or otherwise transferred any of such holder’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Redemption Allocation Percentage and Pro Rata Redemption Amount.

(i) On the True Up Date (as defined below), subject to Section 3(d), the Company shall deliver to the Holder, provided the formula set forth below yields a number greater than zero, an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “True Up Common Shares”) equal to (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the excess of (i) the Prepayment Formula Amount determined as of the Company Redemption Date over (ii) the Cash Payment, by (y) 85% of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock on each of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately following the Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date, less (B) the number of Common Shares previously delivered to the Holder on the Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof. For purposes of this Note, the “True Up Date” shall mean the twenty-first (21st) Trading Day immediately following the Company Redemption Date, provided that such Company Redemption Date occurs on or after April 30, 2015. The “True Up Period” shall mean the period consisting of each of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately following the Company Redemption Date, provided that such Company Redemption Date occurs on or after April 30, 2015.

(d) Redemptions Generally. Any redemptions made pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in accordance with Section 9. No later than one (1) Trading Day following the Holder Mandatory Redemption Date or any Company Redemption Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K, describing the terms of such Holder Mandatory Redemption or Company Redemption, as the case may be. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 8, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(9) REDEMPTION MECHANICS.

(a) Redemption by the Holder. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder (i) concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. The Company shall deliver the applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption Price on the applicable Holder Mandatory Redemption Payment Date. Any Cash Payment payable in respect of the applicable Company Redemption Price shall be delivered by the Company on the applicable Company Redemption Date, and any issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Holder, in the same manner as set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) hereof, within three (3) Trading Days of the Company Redemption Stock Pricing Date. In the event of a redemption or conversion of less than all of the Principal of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. If the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption or conversion, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the amount of Principal that was submitted for or subject to redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid or shares of Common Stock have not been issued therefore, or any combination thereof. Upon the Company’s receipt of such cancellation notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such amount of Principal that was not redeemed or converted, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) to the Holder representing such amount of Principal to be redeemed. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the amount of Principal subject to such notice.

(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b), or Section 5 (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven Business Day period.

(10) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to convert this Note in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 3(d)(i) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to effect such conversion into shares of Common Stock.

(11) RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each of the Notes equal to or exceeding the maximum number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the principal amount of the Notes held by each holder at the Closing (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

(12) VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law, including, but not limited to, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and as expressly provided in this Note.

(13) COVENANTS.

(a) Rank.
