Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption Date through the earlier of
(i) the date that is the six (6) month anniversary of such
applicable Conversion Date, Company Optional Redemption Date,
Holder Optional Redemption Date, Event of Default Redemption Date
or Mandatory Redemption Date and (ii) the Maturity Date (such
additional interest amount, the “Make-Whole Amount”),
shall be guaranteed and shall be accelerated and payable to the
Holder in connection with the conversion or redemption of this Note
on such applicable Conversion Date, Company Optional Redemption
Date, Holder Optional Redemption Date, Event of Default Redemption
Date or Mandatory Redemption Date.
b) Interest Calculations. Interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of
twelve (12) thirty (30) calendar day periods, and shall accrue
daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full
of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due
hereunder, has been made. Interest hereunder will be paid to the
Person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the
Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note (the
“Note
Register”).
c) Late Fee. All overdue accrued
and unpaid interest to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at
an interest rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the
“Late
Fees”) which shall accrue daily from the date such
interest is due hereunder through and including the date of actual
payment in full.

Section
3. Registration of Transfers and
Exchanges.
a) Different Denominations. This
Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of
Note of different authorized denominations, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for
such registration of transfer or exchange.
b) Investment Representations.
This Note has been issued subject to certain investment
representations of the original Holder and may be transferred or
exchanged only in compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws and regulations.
c) Reliance on Note Register.
Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Note,
the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in
whose name this Note is duly registered on the Note Register as the
owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein
provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is
overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Section
4. Conversion.
a) Voluntary
Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until
this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible,
in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of
the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the
conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d) hereof). The
Holder shall effect Conversions by delivering to the Company a
Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as
Annex A (each, a
“Notice of
Conversion”), specifying therein the Conversion Amount
to be converted and the date on which such Conversion shall be
effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no
Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the
Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is
deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion
shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type
of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be
required. To effect Conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless
the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, Late Fees (if
any), Make-Whole Amounts (as applicable) and other amounts payable
in respect of this Note, has been so converted. Conversions
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to 100%
(irrespective of any higher percentage used in calculating the
Conversion Amount hereunder as set forth in the definition of
“Conversion Amount”) of the principal amount of this Note to be
converted in such Conversion. The Holder and the Company shall
maintain a Conversion Schedule showing the principal amount(s)
converted and the date of such Conversion(s). The Company may
deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1)
Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event
of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
The Holder, and any assignee by
acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of
the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion
of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this
Note may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof.
11
b) Conversion Price. The
conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to
$1.89, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note (the
“Fixed Conversion
Price”). Nothing herein shall limit a Xxxxxx’s
right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 6 hereof and the Holder shall have the right to
pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any
other Section hereof or under applicable law.
c) Mechanics of
Conversion.
i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon
Conversion of Conversion Amount. The number of Conversion
Shares issuable upon a Conversion of any Conversion Amount
hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing
(x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Fixed Conversion
Price.
ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon
Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each
Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”),
the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder
a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares
which, on or after the date on which such Conversion Shares are
eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current
public information and the Company has received an opinion of
counsel to such effect, which such opinion must be acceptable to
the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion (which opinion the
Company shall be responsible for obtaining at its sole cost and
expense) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading
restrictions, representing the number of Conversion Shares being
acquired upon the conversion of this Note. All certificate or
certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this
Section 4(c) shall be delivered electronically through the DTC or
another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions. If the Conversion Date is prior to the date on which
such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144
without the need for current public information, or there is no
registration statement in effect covering the Conversion Shares,
the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in the
following form, as appropriate:
“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE
SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
12
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, commencing on such date that the Conversion Shares are
eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to current public
information requirements, the Company, upon request and at the sole
cost and expense of the Company, shall obtain a legal opinion that
is acceptable to the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion, to
allow for such sales under Rule 144.
iii. Failure
to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of
Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to
or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date,
the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the
Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or
certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the
Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note
delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to
the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder
pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.
iv. Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s
obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon
conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction
by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with
respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any
obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of
law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any
other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of
the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such
Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery
shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the
Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of
this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding
Conversion Amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion
based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or
affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of
law, agreement or for any other
reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder,
restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note
shall have been sought. If the injunction is not granted, the
Company shall promptly comply with all conversion obligations
herein. In the absence of seeking such injunction, the Company
shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a
properly noticed Conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to
Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay
to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
$1,000 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Share
Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder
rescinds such Conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a
Xxxxxx’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event
of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof for the Company’s
failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified
herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the
Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
Section hereof or under applicable law.
13
v. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company
fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section
4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is
required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm
otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which
the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to
such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition
to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the
amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase
price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from
the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at
which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the
option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in
a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted
conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed
rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely
complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For
example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an
attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual
sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage
commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of
$10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of
the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein
shall limit a Xxxxxx’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely
deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon
Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least
equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the Required Minimum (the
“Reserve
Amount”) for the sole purpose of issuance upon
conversion of this Note as herein provided, free from preemptive
rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons
other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes). The
Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so
issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
vii. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note.
As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Fixed Conversion Price or round up to the next whole
share.
14
viii. Transfer
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares
of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made
without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or
similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or
delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not
be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such
certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder
of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or
Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The
Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day
processing of any Notice of Conversion.
d) Xxxxxx’s
Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any
conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to
convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving
effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of
Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with
the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons,
“Attribution
Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution
Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares
of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the
remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes)
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or
Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the
determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to
other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note
is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and
the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the
Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted
(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount
of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction,
the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it
delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has
not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the
Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy
of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with
the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public
announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice
by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading
Day 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 since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon
notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in
no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the
Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the
61st
day after such notice is delivered to
the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements
necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Note.
15
Section
5. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Stock
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is
outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a
distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on
shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for
avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock
issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest
on, this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of
the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
b) [Reserved]
c) [Reserved]
d) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In
addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock
Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of
shares 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 regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
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 shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right
would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in
such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such
extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation).
16
e) Pro Rata Distributions. While
this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire
its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return
of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any
distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or
options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(a “Distribution”). In the
event that the Note is repaid at the time of such Distribution, the
Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution.
If the Holder and the Company mutually agree, and the Note is not
repaid at the time of such Distribution, then the Holder shall be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had
held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete
exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on
exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record
is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are
to be determined for the participation in such Distribution
(provided,
however, to the
extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the
beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such
Distribution 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 Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
f) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding,
(i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the
Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person)
is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other
securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders
of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock,
(iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or
recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property,
(v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or
other business combination (including, without limitation, a
reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of
arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires
more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other
Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or
affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or
share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a
“Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon
any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the
right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been
issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation
in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Note), the number of
shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or
of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any
additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is
convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction
(without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion
of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the
determination of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1)
share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the
Company shall apportion the Fixed Conversion Price among the
Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as
to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to
the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this
Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall
cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which
the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in
writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and
any document ancillary hereto, in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 5(f) pursuant to written agreements in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the
Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental
Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note,
deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the
Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for
a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor
Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common
Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note
(without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price
which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of
capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the
shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and
the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of
capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of
protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such 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 and the other Transaction Documents 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 and
the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company
herein.
17
g) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of
this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of
the Company) issued and outstanding.
h) Notice to the
Holder.
i. Adjustment to Fixed Conversion
Price. Whenever the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted
pursuant to any provision of Section 5(a), the Company shall
promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Fixed
Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by
Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the
Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a
redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the
granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any
class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification
of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash
or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be
filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the
Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note
Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which
the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected
to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to

combination of units thereof), or recommend to its stockholders the
approval or adoption thereof by such stockholders, without the

Mandatory Redemption of the Notes in accordance with Sections 7(c)

of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or

conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price
that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or
quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the
initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a
conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt
or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or
contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of
the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into,
or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not
limited to, an equity line of credit, an at-the-market offering (as

price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions contained in
this Section 5(i)(3) shall not apply to (i) an Exempt Issuance or

Subsequent Financing Net Proceeds from such Qualified Subsequent
Financing are utilized solely to effect a Mandatory Redemption of
the Notes in accordance with Sections 7(c) and 7(d) of the Notes,
until all of the Notes are so redeemed in full in accordance with
their terms, including, without limitation, payment in full of the
Mandatory Redemption Amount to the holders of the Notes, and are no
longer outstanding.

stockholders) any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction
structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant
to Section 3(a)(9) or Section 3(a)(l0) of the Securities Act,
without the prior written consent of the Holder (which consent may
be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of such
Holder).
(5) So long as this
Note remains outstanding or the Holder holds any Securities, the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited from,
directly or indirectly, effecting or entering into (or publicly
announcing or recommending to its stockholders the approval or
adoption thereof by such stockholders) any agreement, plan,

Stock to any holder of the Notes (or a designee thereof, if

Late Fees, liquidated damages and other amounts outstanding under
the Notes at maturity or at any other times when payments are
required to be made in cash pursuant to the terms of the
Notes.
(6) The Holder shall be
entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to
preclude any such issuance in this Section 5(i) (without the need
for the posting of any bond or similar item, which the Company
hereby expressly and irrevocably waives the requirement for), which
remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect
damages.

23
b) Remedies Upon Event of Default.
If an Event of Default occurs with respect to this Note, then, at
the Holder’s election, all or any portion of the outstanding
principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, Make-Whole Amount, Late Fees, liquidated damages and other
amounts owing in respect thereof through the Event of Default
Redemption Notice Date, shall accelerate and become immediately due
and payable in cash and shall be redeemed by the Company pursuant
to this Section 6(b) at the applicable Event of Default Redemption
Price. Within three (3) Trading Days of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, including any of their respective officers or
directors, becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default
with respect to this Note, the Company shall deliver a written
notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail to all, but not less
than all, of the holders of Notes (the “Event of Default
Notice”). With respect to an Event of Default with
respect to this Note, at any time after the earlier of (i) the date
on which the Holder received an Event of Default Notice with
respect to such Event of Default (the “Event of Default Notice
Date”) and (ii) the date on which the Holder first
became aware of such Event of Default, the Holder may require the
Company to redeem, on any Trading Day during the period commencing
on the date the Holder first becomes aware of such Event of Default
through and including the sixtieth (60th) Trading Day after
the later of (x) the Event of Default Notice Date and (y) the date
such Event of Default has been cured (the “Event of Default Redemption
Date”), all or any portion of this Note by delivering
written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption
Notice” and the date such Event of Default Redemption
Notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Event of Default Redemption Notice
Date”) to the Company, which Event of Default
Redemption Notice shall state (i) the portion of this Note the
Holder is electing to redeem in such Event of Default Redemption
and the total Event of Default Redemption Price to be paid by the
Company to the Holder in cash in such Event of Default Redemption
pursuant to this Section 6(b), (ii) the Event of Default Redemption
Date the Company is required to pay such Event of Default
Redemption Price to the Holder in cash, and (iii) the allocation of
such Event of Default Redemption Price between this Note and any
other Notes held by the
Holder. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 6(b) are
deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be
deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 6, but subject to Section 4(d), at any
time prior to the date the Event of Default Redemption Price
(together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Event
of Default Redemption Price to be paid to the Holder in an Event of
Default Redemption under this Section 6(b) (together with any Late
Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the
Holder, at its option and in its sole discretion, into Common Stock
pursuant to and in accordance with the conversion procedures set
forth in Section 4 hereunder, mutatis mutandis. The Company covenants and agrees that it will
honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the Event of Default
Redemption Notice Date through the date all amounts owing thereon
are due and paid in full. The portion of the Event of
Default Redemption Price converted by the Holder after the Event of
Default Notice Date shall reduce the Event of Default Redemption
Price required to be paid by the Company to the Holder on the
applicable Event of Default Redemption Date. In the event of the
Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this
Section 6(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 redemption premium due under this
Section 6(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. Upon the redemption of
this Note in full by the Holder and the receipt by the Holder of
the total Event of Default Redemption Price therefor, the Holder
shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the
Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the
Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (other
than the Holder’s election to declare such acceleration), and
the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace
period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and
all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such
acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time
prior to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price hereunder
and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until
such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment of the Event
of Default Redemption Price pursuant to this Section 6(b). Any
redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an
election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and
remedies of the Holder shall be preserved. No such rescission or
annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.

Section
7. Company Optional Redemption; Mandatory
Redemption; Holder Optional Redemption.
(a) Company Optional Redemption.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 7(a), at any time after
the Original Issuance Date and provided no Equity Conditions
Failure then exists, the Company shall have the right to redeem
all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding principal
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
Make-Whole Amount, Late Fees, liquidated damages and other amounts
owing in respect thereof through the Company Optional Redemption
Date (provided, however, that with the prior written consent of the
Holder, which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in
the sole discretion of such Holder, the Company shall have the
right to redeem any portion (which may be less than all) of the
then outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, Make-Whole Amount, Late Fees, liquidated
damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the
Company Optional Redemption Date), for
a cash redemption price equal to the Company Optional
Redemption Amount on the
Company Optional Redemption Date (the “Company Optional
Redemption”). The Company may exercise its right to
require redemption under this Section 7(a) by delivering a written
notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail to all, but not less
than all, of the holders of Notes (the “Company Optional Redemption
Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes
received such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice
Date”). The Company may deliver one or more Company
Optional Redemption Notices hereunder and each such Company
Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. Each such Company
Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the
Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption
Date”), which date shall not be less than five (5)
Trading Days nor more than twenty (20) Trading Days following the
Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, (y) certify that there has
been no Equity Conditions Failure and (z) state the aggregate
amount of the Notes which are being redeemed in such Company
Optional Redemption from the Holder and all of the other holders of
the Notes pursuant to this Section 7(a) and the total Company
Optional Redemption Amount to be paid by the Company in cash to the
Holder and all of the other holders of the Notes in such Company
Optional Redemption pursuant to this Section 7(a). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) if no Equity Conditions
Failure has occurred as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice
Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time prior to
the Company Optional Redemption Date, (A) the Company shall provide
the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless the
Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Company Optional
Redemption shall be cancelled and the applicable Company Optional
Redemption Notice shall be null and void and (ii) at any time prior
to the date the Company Optional Redemption Amount (together with
any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, but subject to Section
4(d), the Company Optional Redemption Amount (together with any
Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the
Holder, at its option and in its sole discretion, into Common Stock
pursuant to and in accordance with the conversion procedures set
forth in Section 4 hereunder, mutatis mutandis. The portion of the
Company Optional Redemption Amount converted by the Holder after
the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the
Company Optional Redemption Amount to be paid by the Company to the
Holder on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date.
The Company covenants and agrees that
it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of
delivery of the Company Optional Redemption Notice through the date
all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full. If the
Company elects to cause an Company Optional Redemption of this Note
pursuant to this Section 7(a), then it must simultaneously take the
same action with respect to all of the other Notes.
25
(b) Company Optional Redemption
Procedure. The applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount
payable to the Holder pursuant to a Company Optional Redemption
shall be paid by the Company to the Holder in full and in cash on
the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the
applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount (together with any
Late Charges thereon) remains unpaid after the applicable Company
Optional Redemption Date, the Holder may elect, by written notice
to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such
Company Optional Redemption, ab
initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to
honor the Company Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no
further right to exercise such Company Optional
Redemption.
(c) Mandatory Redemption. Subject
to the provisions of this Section 7(c), if, at any time after the
Original Issuance Date, the Company proposes to effect a Qualified
Subsequent Financing, then, simultaneously with the closing of such
Qualified Subsequent Financing, all of the outstanding principal
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
Make-Whole Amount, Late Fees, liquidated damages and other amounts
owing in respect thereof through the Mandatory Redemption Date,
shall accelerate and become immediately due and payable in cash and
shall be redeemed by the Company for a
cash redemption price equal to the Mandatory Redemption
Amount on the Mandatory
Redemption Date (the “Mandatory Redemption”).
At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing date of a
Qualified Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver a written
notice by facsimile or electronic mail to all, but not less than
all, of the holders of Notes (the “Pre-Notice”), which shall
state (A) that the Company may effect a Subsequent Financing that
would, if consummated, constitute a Qualified Subsequent Financing
as defined in the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, (B) the process
by which any holder of Notes that wishes to receive any additional
information regarding such contemplated transaction may request and
receive such information and (C) certify that the information
contained in such Pre-Notice does not constitute material
non-public information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s securities. After 4:00
p.m, Eastern Time, but prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the closing date of a Qualified
Subsequent Financing (the “Mandatory Redemption Notice
Date”), the Company shall deliver a written notice by
facsimile or electronic mail to all, but not less than all, of the
holders of Notes (the “Mandatory Redemption
Notice”), which shall state (A) that the Company
intends to complete a Qualified Subsequent Financing as defined in
the Purchase Agreement and the Notes on the Trading Day immediately
following the Mandatory Redemption Notice Date, (B) the gross
proceeds from such Qualified Subsequent Financing, (C) the amount
of Qualified Subsequent Financing Net Proceeds to be received by

(D) that the Company shall effect the Mandatory Redemption of all
outstanding Notes pursuant to and in accordance with this Section
7(c) and Section 7(d), (E) the total aggregate Mandatory Redemption
Amount to be paid by the Company in cash in the Mandatory
Redemption to all holders of Notes, (F) the total Mandatory
Redemption Amount to be paid by the Company in cash in the
Mandatory Redemption to the Holder of this Note (which information
shall not be shared with any other holders of Notes), and (F) the
date on which the Mandatory Redemption shall occur, which shall be
no later than one (1) Trading Day following the closing date of
such Qualified Subsequent Financing (the “Mandatory Redemption
Date”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, at any time prior to the date the Mandatory Redemption
Amount (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full,
but subject to Section 4(d), the Mandatory Redemption Amount
(together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole
or in part, by the Holder, at its option and in its sole
discretion, into Common Stock pursuant to and in accordance with
the conversion procedures set forth in Section 4 hereunder,
mutatis mutandis. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of
Conversion tendered from the date of delivery of the Mandatory
Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are
due and paid in full. The portion of the Mandatory Redemption
Amount converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Redemption
Notice Date shall reduce the Mandatory Redemption Amount to be paid
by the Company to the Holder on the Mandatory Redemption Date.
The Company covenants and agrees that
it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of
delivery of the Mandatory Redemption Notice Date through the date
all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full. To the
extent redemptions required by this Section 7(c) 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.
26
(d) Mandatory Redemption Procedure.
The applicable Mandatory Redemption Amount payable to the Holder
pursuant to a Mandatory Redemption shall be paid by the Company to
the Holder in full and in cash on the applicable Mandatory
Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, if any portion of the applicable Mandatory Redemption
Amount (together with any Late Charges thereon) remains unpaid
after the applicable Mandatory Redemption Date, the Holder may
elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time
thereafter, to invalidate such Mandatory Redemption, ab initio.
(e) Holder Optional Redemption.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 7(e), at any time and
from time to time on or after December 17, 2018 (the
“Holder Optional
Redemption Trigger Date”), the Holder may, at its sole
option and in its sole discretion, require the Company to redeem
all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this
Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, Make-Whole Amount,
Late Fees, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect
thereof through the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Date
(each as defined below), for a cash
redemption price equal to the Holder Optional Redemption
Amount on such applicable

Redemption”). The Holder may exercise its right to
require redemption of this Note under this Section 7(e) in whole or
in part at any single time or at multiple times from and after the
Holder Optional Redemption Trigger Date, at its sole option and in
its sole discretion, by delivering (with respect to each such
election by the Holder to require redemption by the Company
hereunder) a written notice by facsimile or electronic mail to the
Company (each, a “Holder Optional Redemption
Notice” and the date such Holder Optional Redemption
Notice is deemed delivered hereunder, each a “Holder Optional Redemption Notice
Date”). Each such Holder Optional Redemption Notice
shall state (i) the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to
require the Company to redeem in such Holder Optional Redemption
and the total Holder Optional Redemption Amount to be paid by the
Company to the Holder in cash in such Holder Optional Redemption
pursuant to this Section 7(e), (ii) the date on which such Holder
Optional Redemption shall occur, which date shall not be less than
five (5) Trading Days following the applicable Optional Redemption
Notice Date (each, a “Holder Optional Redemption
Date”), and (iii) the allocation of such Holder
Optional Redemption Amount between this Note and any other
Notes held by the
Holder. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to
this Section 7(e) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal
to the Holder Optional Redemption Amount. To the extent redemptions
required by this Section 7(e) are deemed or determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the
Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary
prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7(e), but subject to Section 4(d), at any time prior to the
date the Holder Optional Redemption Amount (together with any Late
Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Holder Optional Redemption
Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 7(e) (together
with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in
part, by the Holder, at its option and in its sole discretion, into
Common Stock pursuant to and in accordance with the conversion
procedures set forth in Section 4 hereunder, mutatis mutandis. The Company covenants and agrees that it will
honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the Holder
Optional Redemption Notice Date
through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in
full. The portion of the Holder Optional Redemption Amount
converted by the Holder after the Holder Optional Redemption Notice
Date shall reduce the Holder Optional Redemption Amount required to
be paid by the Company to the Holder on the applicable Holder
Optional Redemption Date.
27
(f) Holder Optional Redemption
Procedure. The applicable Holder Optional Redemption Amount
payable to the Holder pursuant to a Holder Optional Redemption
shall be paid by the Company to the Holder in full and in cash on
the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the
applicable Holder Optional Redemption Amount (together with any
Late Charges thereon) remains unpaid after the applicable Holder
Optional Redemption Date, the Holder may elect, by written notice
to the Company given at any time thereafter, to rescind the
applicable Holder Optional Redemption, ab initio.
(g) 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 6(b) or Section 7(e) (each, an
“Other Redemption
Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later
than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the
Holder by facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives
an Event of Default Redemption Notice or a Holder Optional
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 applicable Event of Default
Redemption Notice or applicable Holder Optional Redemption Notice
and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business
Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s
applicable Event of Default Redemption Notice or applicable Holder
Optional Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all
principal, interest, Make-Whole Amounts, Late Fees and other
amounts designated in such Event of Default Redemption Notice or
Holder Optional 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 Event of Default Redemption Notice or
Holder Optional Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices
received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day
period.

8. Negative Covenants. As long as
any portion of this Note remains outstanding, unless the Holder

board approval); or
(h) enter into any

is a direct debt obligation of the Company.

(d) Governing Law. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in
the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are
improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions
contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, then the
prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed
by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs
and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such action or proceeding.
(e) Waiver. Any waiver by the
Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note
shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other
breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of
this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon
strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions
shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right
thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any
other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the
Company or the Holder must be in writing.
30
(f) Amendments. The prior written
consent of the Holder (which consent may be withheld, delayed or
conditioned in the sole discretion of such Holder) shall be
required for any change or amendment to this Note.
(g) Severability. If any provision
of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of
this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is
inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless
remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it
shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest
due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the
applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be
lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under
applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would
prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of
the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which
may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the
Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no
such law has been enacted.
(h) Remedies, Characterizations, Other
Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in
this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies
available under this Note and any of the other Transaction
Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein
shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and
consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with
the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that
there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other
than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided
for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and
the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the
Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be
subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance
thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and
that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or
threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such
breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required. The Company shall provide all information and
documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to
enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with
the terms and conditions of this Note.
(i) Next Business Day. Whenever any
payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day.
31
(j) Payment of Collection, Enforcement and
Other Costs. If (i) this Note is placed in the hands of an
attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced
through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action
to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions
of this Note or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company
creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then
the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or
action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership or other proceeding, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
(k) Headings. The headings
contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof.
