"Maximum Number" shall initially equal Seven Million Eight Hundred Seventy Five Thousand One Hundred Ninety (7,875,190), and thereafter shall be automatically adjusted as follows:
(i) Unless expressly waived in writing by Xxxxxxxx, the Company shall deliver to Xxxxxxxx on or before the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month commencing with the month of February 2010 a notice (an "Outstanding Share Notice") stating the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last day of the preceding month and the increase (an "Increase") or decrease (a "Decrease"), if any, in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock from the number of shares reported on the preceding Outstanding Share Notice (or, in the case of the first Outstanding Share Notice, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in Section 4(m)).
(ii) If an Outstanding Share Notice reflects a Decrease, then upon delivery of such Outstanding Share Notice, the Maximum Number shall be deemed decreased such that the Maximum Number equals nine and nine tenths percent (9.90%) of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock reported on such Outstanding Share Notice. If an Outstanding share Notice reflects an Increase, then on the sixty-fifth (65th) day after delivery of such Outstanding Share Notice, the Maximum Number shall be deemed increased such that the Maximum Number equals nine and nine tenths percent (9.90%) of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock reported on such Outstanding Share Notice.
(iii) The Maximum Number shall also be increased on the sixty-fifth (65th) day after Xxxxxxxx delivers a written notice (a "65 Day Notice") to the Company designating a greater Maximum Number. A 65-Day Notice may be given by Xxxxxxxx at any time and from time to time on one or more occurrences.
(b) Any shares of Common Stock or other consideration (in the form of cash, securities or other assets per share of Common Stock issuable to a holder of shares of Common Stock in connection with a Change of Control) that would have been issued to Xxxxxxxx upon conversion or redemption of any Preferred Stock, or as dividends on the Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrant or the 0000 Xxxxxxx but for one or more of the limitations contained in this Section 6 shall be deferred and shall be delivered to Xxxxxxxx promptly and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after the date such limitations cease to restrict the issuance of such shares (whether due to an increase
13
in the Maximum Number so as to permit such issuance, the disposition by Xxxxxxxx of shares of Common Stock or any other reason) unless Xxxxxxxx has withdrawn the applicable Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice (each as defined in the Certificate of Rights and Preferences) or Warrant Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrant and the 0000 Xxxxxxx).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt the shares of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or redemption of, or as dividends under, the Preferred Stock, and all other Common Shares issuable under the Certificate of Rights and Preferences, this Agreement or the Warrant shall not be considered in the determination of whether the 19.99% Limit (as defined in the 2008 Agreement) has been reached pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement dated as of November 13, 2008, by and between Xxxxxxxx and the Company (the "2008 Agreement").
(d) In the event of a Net Basis Settlement (as defined in the 2008 Warrant), the determination of whether the Maximum Number has been issued shall be made based on the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued in such Net Basis Settlement.
(e) This Section 6 supersedes and replaces Section 6(b) of the 0000 Xxxxxxx in its entirety.

16
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the change in the state of incorporation of the Company shall not in and of itself constitute a Change of Control.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Xxxxxxxx may assign, pledge, hypothecate or transfer any of the rights and associated obligations contemplated by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Investment Securities), in whole or in part, at its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, assignments, pledges, hypothecations and transfers in connection with financing, derivative or hedging transactions with respect to this Agreement and the Investment Securities), provided, that, any such assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer must comply with applicable federal and state securities laws. No Person acquiring Common Stock from Xxxxxxxx pursuant to a public market purchase will thereby obtain any of the rights contained in this Agreement. This Agreement together with the Warrant and the Certificate of Rights and Preferences constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 20(b), this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
(c) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, and each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York City, New York and any court hearing any appeal therefrom, over any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or based upon this Agreement (a "Related Proceeding"). Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any objection to any Related Proceeding in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(e) Without prejudice to other rights or remedies hereunder (including any specified interest rate), and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, interest shall be due on any amount that is due pursuant to this Agreement, or the Certificate of Rights and Preferences or the Warrant and has not been paid when due (or the cash equivalent of Preferred Stock which the Company fails to deliver as required by the terms of this Agreement or the Warrant or of shares of Common Stock which the Company fails to deliver upon redemption or conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the
24

(g) Any and all remedies set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Rights and Preferences and the Warrant: (i) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies the parties may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as each of Xxxxxxxx and the Company may elect. The exercise of any remedy by any party shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude such party from exercising any other remedies in the future.
(h) The Company agrees that the parties have negotiated in good faith and at arms' length concerning the transactions contemplated herein, and that CapStone and Xxxxxxxx would not have agreed to the terms of this Agreement without each and every of the terms, conditions, protections and remedies provided herein, in the Certificate of Rights and Preferences and in the Warrant. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Certificate of Rights and Preferences and the Warrant, the Company's obligations to indemnify and hold CapStone and Xxxxxxxx harmless in accordance with Section 17 of this Agreement are obligations of the Company that the Company promises to pay to Xxxxxxxx when and if they become due. The Company shall record any such obligations on its books and records in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(i) This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in any and all respects, but only by a written instrument signed by Xxxxxxxx and the Company expressly stating that such instrument is intended to amend, modify or supplement this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment, modification or supplement which adversely impacts the rights or obligations of CapStone under this Agreement shall be effective without the consent of CapStone.
(j) Each of the parties will cooperate with the others and use its best efforts to prepare all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary filings, and to obtain all necessary permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all governmental
25
bodies and other third-parties necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
