Prior to the filing of the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons reported beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer on Schedule 13G, which was filed on September 20, 2004, previously to that on Schedule 13D, which was filed on May 6, 2004, as amended on May 20, 2004, May 28, 2004, July 8, 2004, July 21, 2004 and August 27, 2004, previously to that on Schedule 13G filed on March 25, 2004, as amended on April 21, 2004 and previously to that on Schedule 13D filed on March 18, 2004. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed such terms in the amendment to Schedule 13D filed on June 4, 2009.
               This Statement is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report certain effects of the consummation of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by the Issuer on July 23, 2009 as they relate to the Reporting Persons, which Merger Agreement and related transactions were described in Item 3 of Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D, filed on May 4, 2009.

In addition, upon the occurrence of the effective time of the Merger, each of the Exchange and Rollover Agreement, the Right of Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Voting Agreement, to which certain of the Reporting Persons are party, became effective in accordance with their respective terms.

In connection with the foregoing, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into those certain termination agreements, dated as of July 23, 2009 (the “Termination Agreements”), whereby each of the respective parties to the Stockholders Agreement and to the Registration Rights Agreement agreed to terminate those agreements as of the effective time of the Merger, and, consequently, these agreements are of no further force or effect.

Further, pursuant to the Limited Waiver and Consent and in connection with the consummation of the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Merger, the Issuer and Dr. Rachesky entered into an Indemnification Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2009 (the “Indemnification Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to provide Dr. Rachesky with certain indemnification rights in connection with his service on the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

The above discussions of the Second Amended and Restated Notes, the Merger Warrants, the Termination Agreements and the Indemnification Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Notes, the Merger Warrants, the Termination Agreements and the Indemnification Agreement, respectively, which are attached as Exhibits 1 through 9 of Item 7 to this Statement and are incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

The foregoing discussions of the Limited Waiver and Consent, the First Amended and Restated Notes, the Exchange and Rollover Agreement, the Right of Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Waiver Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each relevant document, each of which has been previously attached as Exhibits to Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D, filed on May 4, 2009 and previously filed by the Issuer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2009 and are incorporated herein by reference.

(b)

Mechanics of Conversion.  In order to effect a conversion pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall: (a) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Company and (b) surrender or cause to be surrendered this Note, duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Company.  Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, advising the Holder of any additional documentation required by the transfer agent for the Common Stock to issue the Conversion Shares in the manner provided in the Notice of Conversion (the “Additional Documentation”) and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Company regard ing the conversion.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue Conversion Shares upon a conversion unless either this Note is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Company required by Section 13.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made effective as of  the Conversion Date and the rights of the Holder of the Notes being converted shall cease as of the Conversion Date except for the rights to receive Conversion Shares, and the Person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such Conversion Shares at such time and shall have all the rights and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Conversion Shares.

(c)

Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion.  Upon the surrender of this Note accompanied by a Notice of Conversion and any Additional Documentation, the Company shall, no later than the later of (a) the second Business Day following the Conversion Date and (b) the third Business Day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Section 13) (the “Delivery Period”), issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Note being converted and (y) a new Note in the form hereof representing the balance of the principal amount hereof not being converted, if any.  If the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC, as specified in the Notice of Conversion, through its DTC Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DTC Transfer”).  If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares.  Further, the Holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.

(d)

Adjustment to Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

(i)

Common Stock Dividends; Common Stock Splits; Reverse Common Stock Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) shall pay a stock dividend on its Common Stock, (B) subdivide



11



outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) 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.

(ii)

Subscription Rights.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall fix a record date for the distribution to all of the holders of Common Stock evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities entitling them to subscribe for, purchase, convert to, exchange for or to otherwise acquire any security (excluding those referred to in Section 3(d)(i) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price at which this Note shall thereafter be exercisable shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the average Daily Market Price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the record date mentioned above, and the numerator of which shall be such average Daily Market Pric e of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a distribution exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the net assets of the Issuers, such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser selected by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The Company shall pay for all such appraisals.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(iii)

Other Events.  In case of (A) any reclassification of the Common Stock into other securities of the Company, (B) any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (C) any merger or consolidation with or into any persons, or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuers to any person (each of (A), (B) or (C), an “Extraordinary Event”), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such Extraordinary Event, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had it converted this Note immediately prior to such Extraordinary Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Notes).  In the c ase of an Extraordinary Event, the terms of any such Extraordinary Event shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash or property set forth in this Section 3(d)(iii) upon any conversion following such Extraordinary Event.  This provision shall similarly apply to successive Extraordinary Events.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this clause (iii) shall be construed to impair the Issuers’ or Holders’ rights under Section 5, including, without limitation, under Section 5(b).

(iv)

No Impairment. If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 3(d) are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the conversion rights under the Notes in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such Section, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price of the Notes shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances; provided, however, that no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made under this clause (iv) as a result of any bona fide sale of the Company’s Capital Stock to a third party.

The Issuers will not, by amendment of their organizational documents or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holders hereunder against dilution of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3(d) or other impairment.



12




(e)

Record Date.  In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of 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, provided, however, that any such adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be reversed or shall not become effective, as applicable, if the Company abandons the action to which the record date pertains.

(f)

Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of Section 5(d).

(g)

Fractional Shares.  Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the closing bid price at such time.  If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

(h)

Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 3, the Company, at its own expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

As and when determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion but not more often than four (4) times per year prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may perform the searches described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) below against Issuer, all at Issuer’s expense: (a) UCC searches with the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction of organization of each Issuer and the Secretary of State and local filing offices of each jurisdiction where Issuer maintain their respective executive offices, a place of business or assets; (b) lien searches with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office; and (c) judgment, federal tax lien and corporate and partnership tax lien searches, in each jurisdiction searched under clause (a) above.

(viii)

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Issuer to, and each Issuer hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair o r recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Issuer’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Issuer’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii), and collecting any Obligation, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and (vi)  provide entitlement orders with respect to Security Entitlements (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and other Investment Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any Issuer, transfer to or register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral (defined below).  The Collateral Agent or any Holder may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Holders (but not any Holder in its individual capacity unless Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Issuer, and each Issuer hereby w aives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Each Issuer agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Issuer of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Issuer hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Holders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may h ave been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent and the Holders accept the first offer received and do not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any Issuer or any Subsidiary that such sale must be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and otherwise in accordance with applicable Law.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations, Issuers shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.  Each Issuer further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4(d)(viii) will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Holders, that the Collateral Agent and the Holders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Issuer, and each Issuer hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.

(e)

Power of Attorney.  The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for Issuer (without requiring the Collateral Agent to act as such, but to be exercised after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) endorse the name of any such Person upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments for the payment of money that are payable to such Person and constitute collections on its or their Accounts; (ii) execute in the name of such Person any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments, documents, and statements that it is or they are obligated to give the Collateral Agent under any of the Notes Documents; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Person that the



16



Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable to enforce any Account or other Collateral or to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest or Lien in any Collateral (including any additional Collateral pursuant to Sections 6(d) and 6(l)).  In addition, if any such Person breaches its obligation hereunder to direct payments of Accounts or the proceeds of any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account, the Collateral Agent, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for such Person pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of the Collateral Agent’s officers or authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay proceeds of Accounts or any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account.

(f)

Redemption Procedures.

(i)

Notice to Holders Upon Redemption.  In the case of a redemption pursuant to Sections 5(a) or 5(b), at least 30 days prior to a redemption date of Notes, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address.

The notice shall identify the amount Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(A)

the redemption date;

(B)

the applicable subsection of Section 5 pursuant to which the redemption will occur;

(C)

if applicable, the Redemption Price and the number of shares into which the Redemption Warrant will be exercisable, on the redemption date;

(D)

if applicable, the Premium Redemption Price or the Change of Control Redemption Price on the redemption date;

(E)

that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Company to collect the consideration (or if to an agent of the Company, the name and address of the agent where the Notes must be surrendered); and

(F)

that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date.

(ii)

Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and a written opinion from legal counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

(iii)

Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date.  Upon surrender to the Company, the consideration shall be delivered as stated in the notice.  Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.



20




(iv)

Holders shall be required to surrender the Notes being purchased by the Company, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice of redemption.  Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.

(v)

If any Note surrendered for redemption in the manner provided herein shall not be so paid on the redemption date due to the failure of the Company to deliver the required consideration, interest shall continue to accrue from the redemption date until such consideration is delivered, with such consideration being based on the unpaid principal and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the date and in the manner provided in the Notes which were to be redeemed.

(vi)

Any redemption shall be conditioned upon and occur either concurrently with or immediately prior to or after the consummation of the transaction, including without limitation a Change of Control, related to such redemption.

(vii)

Holders shall have the right to convert the Notes or any portion thereof in accordance with Section 3 at any time prior to the actual redemption of the Notes or applicable portion of the Notes, including without limitation, during the thirty (30) day notice period under this Section 5(e).

(f)

Tax Put Right.

(i)

For 30 days following a redemption in which the Holder receives Redemption Warrants, (A) the Holder shall have a right (the “Tax Put Right”) by written notice to the Company (which such notice shall include the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be put to the Company and the value thereof as of the date of such notice) to require the Issuers to purchase an amount of shares of Common Stock from the Holder, based on the average Daily Market Price during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to such redemption, that is equal to an amount of up to $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such redemptions for all Holders of all Notes and (B) if the amount received by the Holder after exercising its rights up to the maximum aggregate amount pursuant to clause (A) is, when combined with the consideration received by the Holder upon redemption of the Convertible Notes, still insufficient to pay the income taxes relating to the redemption, the receipt of the Redemption Warrants and the exercise of the Tax Put Right, then, upon receipt of written notice from the Holder (or any other Holder of Notes) of such insufficiency, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file one registration statement for all Holders of Notes (regardless of the number of redemptions) as soon as reasonably practicable after such redemption but in any event within thirty (30) days after such redemption and cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing but in any event within sixty (60) days after such filing, failing which the Holders of all Notes shall have an additional Tax Put Right in the amount of up to $2,500,000 in the aggregate for all such redemptions.

(ii)

Upon the receipt of notice from a Holder that such Holder has elected to exercise its Tax Put Right, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) business days after the receipt thereof, deliver a copy of such notice to the other Holders.  For a period of five (5) Business Days following its receipt of a Tax Put Right notice, each other Holder shall have the right and option (but not the obligation) to also exercise a Tax Put Right by delivering written notice thereof (which such notice shall include the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be put to the Company and the value thereof as of the date of such notice).  If the Holders electing to exercise their Tax Put Right elect to put more than the aggregate amount of shares that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 5(f)(i), then each Holder delivering a Tax Put Right notice shall be entitled to require the Company to repu rchase that number of shares of Common Stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 5(f)(i) by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock elected to be repurchased from such Holder and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock elected to be repurchased by all Holders that elect to exercise their Tax Put Right.

6.

Covenants.

(a)

Reservation of Conversion Shares and Common Stock Underlying MHR Warrants.  The Company agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from



21



preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of the issue upon conversion of the Notes, issue upon the exercise of the MHR Warrants and issuances of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.  The Company agrees that the Conversion Shares and shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the MHR Warrants shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

(b)

Required Registration.  The Company agrees that if any Conversion Shares or shares issued upon the exercise of the MHR Warrants require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or state Law, or any national securities exchange, before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.

(c)

Limitation on Senior Indebtedness.  

(i)

The Issuers covenant and agree that so long as any Notes shall remain outstanding, the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries, to directly or indirectly incur, create, assume, guarantee, become or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for the payment of, including, without limitation, by way of assumption or acquisition in a business combination (each event, an “incurrence”) any Indebtedness other than (x) the Notes, (y) Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed $23 million (which amount shall be increased by an amount equal to any cash equity contribution to the Company by Parent of the proceeds of any Investment Option Preferred Stock; but in no event shall such increase exceed $2 million); provided however that if Indebtedness is incurred under this subclause (c)(i)(y), at least $10 million principa l amount of such Indebtedness shall be in the form of a revolving loan facility secured by the Issuers’ accounts receivables or other similar asset-based loan; and (z) Subordinated Indebtedness; provided further however, that the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness pursuant to subclause (c)(i)(y) shall not cause the Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio to exceed 2.00 to 1.00 for the most recently ended four full Fiscal Quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred determined on a pro forma basis (including pro a forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four Fiscal Quarter period.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuers shall be permitted to incur a minimum of $15 million in Senior Indebtedness, provided that at least $10 million principal amount of such Indebtedness shall be in the form of a revolving loan facility secured by the Issuers’ accounts receivables or other similar asset-based loan.  

(ii)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6(c) to the contrary, as long as any Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement)(or any extensions, modifications, refinancings, renewals and refundings thereof in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) are outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Credit Agreement has not been terminated, the Issuers shall be permitted, and shall be allowed to permit any of their Subsidiaries, to directly or indirectly incur, create, assume, guarantee, become or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for the payment of, Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (including any extensions, modifications, refinancings, renewals and refundings thereof in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) in the principal amount of $17,000,000 and the provisions of clause (i) above shall not be applicable to any of such Sen ior Indebtedness unless and until ComVest, Parent or any of their Affiliates becomes the holder of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, whether as a result of the purchase of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to their exercise of the purchase option under Section 22 of the ComVest Senior Subordination Agreement or otherwise.  The limitation on the principal amount of Senior Indebtedness set forth in this clause (ii) shall not limit or otherwise affect the right of the holder of any such Senior Indebtedness to accrue and receive payment of interest (including at the default rate and including postpetition interest), fees, expenses or other charges.  Upon the purchase of Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement by ComVest, Parent or any of their Affiliates, this clause (ii) shall be null and void and the limitation on Senior Indebtedness shall be determined pursuant to clause (i) above.

(iii)

If on any date the Issuers incur Senior Indebtedness in breach of this Section 6(c) as a result of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Indebtedness exceeding the amount then permitted under subclause 6(c)(i)(y) hereof, such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if, and only if, the Issuers shall have concurrently with such incurrence prepaid to the Holder in respect of the outstanding principal amount of the Note an amount equal to 105% of the amount by which the Senior Indebtedness incurred, when aggregated with all such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Senior Indebtedness then permitted under such subclause 6(c)(i)(y).  In connection with any



22

Mechanics of Conversion.  In order to effect a conversion pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall: (a) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Company and (b) surrender or cause to be surrendered this Note, duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Company.  Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, advising the Holder of any additional documentation required by the transfer agent for the Common Stock to issue the Conversion Shares in the manner provided in the Notice of Conversion (the “Additional Documentation”) and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Company regard ing the conversion.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue Conversion Shares upon a conversion unless either this Note is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Company required by Section 13.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made effective as of  the Conversion Date and the rights of the Holder of the Notes being converted shall cease as of the Conversion Date except for the rights to receive Conversion Shares, and the Person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such Conversion Shares at such time and shall have all the rights and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Conversion Shares.

(c)

Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion.  Upon the surrender of this Note accompanied by a Notice of Conversion and any Additional Documentation, the Company shall, no later than the later of (a) the second Business Day following the Conversion Date and (b) the third Business Day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Section 13) (the “Delivery Period”), issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Note being converted and (y) a new Note in the form hereof representing the balance of the principal amount hereof not being converted, if any.  If the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC, as specified in the Notice of Conversion, through its DTC Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DTC Transfer”).  If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares.  Further, the Holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.

(d)

Adjustment to Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

(i)

Common Stock Dividends; Common Stock Splits; Reverse Common Stock Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) shall pay a stock dividend on its Common Stock, (B) subdivide



11



outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) 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.

(ii)

Subscription Rights.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall fix a record date for the distribution to all of the holders of Common Stock evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities entitling them to subscribe for, purchase, convert to, exchange for or to otherwise acquire any security (excluding those referred to in Section 3(d)(i) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price at which this Note shall thereafter be exercisable shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the average Daily Market Price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the record date mentioned above, and the numerator of which shall be such average Daily Market Price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a distribution exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the net assets of the Issuers, such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser selected by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The Company shall pay for all such appraisals.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(iii)

Other Events.  In case of (A) any reclassification of the Common Stock into other securities of the Company, (B) any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (C) any merger or consolidation with or into any persons, or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuers to any person (each of (A), (B) or (C), an “Extraordinary Event”), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such Extraordinary Event, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had it converted this Note immediately prior to such Extraordinary Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Notes).  In the ca se of an Extraordinary Event, the terms of any such Extraordinary Event shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash or property set forth in this Section 3(d)(iii) upon any conversion following such Extraordinary Event.  This provision shall similarly apply to successive Extraordinary Events.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this clause (iii) shall be construed to impair the Issuers’ or Holders’ rights under Section 5, including, without limitation, under Section 5(b).

(iv)

No Impairment. If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 3(d) are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the conversion rights under the Notes in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such Section, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price of the Notes shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances; provided, however, that no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made under this clause (iv) as a result of any bona fide sale of the Company’s Capital Stock to a third party.

The Issuers will not, by amendment of their organizational documents or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holders hereunder against dilution of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3(d) or other impairment.



12




(e)

Record Date.  In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of 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, provided, however, that any such adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be reversed or shall not become effective, as applicable, if the Company abandons the action to which the record date pertains.

(f)

Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of Section 5(d).

(g)

Fractional Shares.  Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the closing bid price at such time.  If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

(h)

Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 3, the Company, at its own expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

4.

(iv)

any and all additions and accessions to any of the foregoing, and any and all replacements, products and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of any of the foregoing.

14




(ii)

Each Issuer shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit such records to the Collateral Agent on such periodic basis as the Collateral Agent may request.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if requested by the Collateral Agent, such Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent formal written assignments (or, in the case of Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors, documents necessary to comply with the Federal Assignment of Claims Act) of all of its Accounts weekly or daily as the Collateral Agent may request, including all Accounts created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of claims, invoices and/or other information related thereto.  To the extent that collections from such assigned accounts exceed the outstanding principal amount together with any accrued interest due on the Notes and all First Priority Lien Indebtedness, such excess amount shall not accrue interest in favor of such Issuer, but shall be available to such Issuer upon such Issuer’s written request.

(iii)

Following an occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, any of the Collateral Agent’s officers, employees, representatives or agents shall have the right, at any time during normal business hours, in the name of the Collateral Agent, any designee of the Collateral Agent or Issuers, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts or Inventory of Issuer.  Issuers shall cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process.

(iv)

To expedite collection, each Issuer shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of its Accounts for the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify (a) Account Debtors owing Accounts to Issuer other than Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors that their Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and to collect such Accounts directly in its own name and to charge collection costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to such Issuer, and (b) Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors that such Issuer has waived any and all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any such action or procedure brought by the Collateral Agent to obtain a court order recognizing the collateral assignment or security interest and lien of the Collateral Agent in and to any Account or other Collater al and that the Collateral Agent is seeking or may seek to obtain a court order recognizing the collateral assignment or security interest and lien of the Collateral Agent in and to all Accounts and other Collateral payable by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors.

At the Collateral Agent’s request, each Issuer shall immediately deliver or make arrangements to deliver to the Collateral Agent all items for which the Collateral Agent must receive possession to obtain a perfected security interest and all notes, certificates, and documents of title, Chattel Paper, warehouse receipts, Instruments, and any other similar instruments constituting Collateral.

(vii)

Each Issuer shall give the Collateral Agent at least 30 days’ prior written notice of (i) any change in such Issuer’s name, identity or corporate structure and (ii) any reincorporation, reorganization or other action that results in a change of the jurisdiction of organization of such Issuer.



15




(viii)

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Issuer to, and each Issuer hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair o r recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Issuer’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Issuer’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii), and collecting any Obligation, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and (vi)  provide entitlement orders with respect to Security Entitlements (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and other Investment Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any Issuer, transfer to or register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral (defined below).  The Collateral Agent or any Holder may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Holders (but not any Holder in its individual capacity unless Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Issuer, and each Issuer hereby w aives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Each Issuer agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Issuer of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Issuer hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Holders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may h ave been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent and the Holders accept the first offer received and do not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any Issuer or any Subsidiary that such sale must be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and otherwise in accordance with applicable Law.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations, Issuers shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.  Each Issuer further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4(d)(viii) will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Holders, that the Collateral Agent and the Holders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Issuer, and each Issuer hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.

(e)

Power of Attorney.  The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for Issuer (without requiring the Collateral Agent to act as such, but to be exercised after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) endorse the name of any such Person upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments for the payment of money that are payable to such Person and constitute collections on its or their Accounts; (ii) execute in the name of such Person any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments, documents, and statements that it is or they are obligated to give the Collateral Agent under any of the Notes Documents; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Person that the



16



Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable to enforce any Account or other Collateral or to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest or Lien in any Collateral (including any additional Collateral pursuant to Sections 6(d) and 6(l)).  In addition, if any such Person breaches its obligation hereunder to direct payments of Accounts or the proceeds of any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account, the Collateral Agent, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for such Person pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of the Collateral Agent’s officers or authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay proceeds of Accounts or any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account.

(f)

Intercreditor Agreement. This Note and the other Notes Documents and all rights, remedies and obligations under this Note and the other Notes Documents are subject to the Amended and Restated Senior Subordination Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2009 by and among the Holders, the Collateral Agent and CapitalSource Finance LLC (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). The parties to this Note and the other Notes Documents and all Persons claiming any right under or in respect of this Note and the other Notes Documents are bound by and (to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement) entitled to the benefit of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(h)

Further Assurances.  Each Issuer agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the Issuers, such Issuer will promptly execute, obtain, deliver, file, register and/or record all financing statements, continuation statements, stock powers, further instruments and other documents, or cause the execution, filing, registration, recording or delivery of any of the foregoing and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may request, to be executed, filed, registered, obtained, delivered or recorded, in order to create, maintain, perfect, preserve, validate or otherwise protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, including any additional Collateral pursuant to Sections 6(d) and 6(l).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Issuer will:  (i)  notify the Collateral Agent in writing of receipt by such Issuer of any interest in Chattel Paper and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, mark conspicuously each item of Chattel Paper and each of its records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, indicating that such Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent all promissory notes and other Instruments and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, all original counterparts of Chattel Paper, duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (iii) (A) execute (if necessary) and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, (B) deliver such documents, instruments, notices, records and consents and take such other actions necessary to establish that the Collateral Agent has control over electron ic Chattel Paper and Letter-of-Credit Rights of such Issuer and (C) deliver such other instruments or

Each Issuer hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral (including any financing statement indicating that it covers “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Issuer) without the signature of any Issuer.

The notice shall identify the amount Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(A)

the redemption date;

(B)

the applicable subsection of Section 5 pursuant to which the redemption will occur;

(C)

if applicable, the Redemption Price and the number of shares into which the Redemption Warrant will be exercisable, on the redemption date;

that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date.

(ii)

Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and a written opinion from legal counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

(iii)

Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date.  Upon surrender to the Company, the consideration shall be delivered as stated in the notice.  Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.



20




(iv)

Holders shall be required to surrender the Notes being purchased by the Company, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice of redemption.  Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.

(v)

If any Note surrendered for redemption in the manner provided herein shall not be so paid on the redemption date due to the failure of the Company to deliver the required consideration, interest shall continue to accrue from the redemption date until such consideration is delivered, with such consideration being based on the unpaid principal and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the date and in the manner provided in the Notes which were to be redeemed.

(vi)

Any redemption shall be conditioned upon and occur either concurrently with or immediately prior to or after the consummation of the transaction, including without limitation a Change of Control, related to such redemption.

(vii)

Holders shall have the right to convert the Notes or any portion thereof in accordance with Section 3 at any time prior to the actual redemption of the Notes or applicable portion of the Notes, including without limitation, during the thirty (30) day notice period under this Section 5(e).

(f)

Tax Put Right.

(i)

For 30 days following a redemption in which the Holder receives Redemption Warrants, (A) the Holder shall have a right (the “Tax Put Right”) by written notice to the Company (which such notice shall include the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be put to the Company and the value thereof as of the date of such notice) to require the Issuers to purchase an amount of shares of Common Stock from the Holder, based on the average Daily Market Price during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to such redemption, that is equal to an amount of up to $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such redemptions for all Holders of all Notes and (B) if the amount received by the Holder after exercising its rights up to the maximum aggregate amount pursuant to clause (A) is, when combined with the consideration received by the Holder upon redemption of the Convertible Notes, still insufficient to pay the income taxes relating to the redemption, the receipt of the Redemption Warrants and the exercise of the Tax Put Right, then, upon receipt of written notice from the Holder (or any other Holder of Notes) of such insufficiency, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file one registration statement for all Holders of Notes (regardless of the number of redemptions) as soon as reasonably practicable after such redemption but in any event within thirty (30) days after such redemption and cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing but in any event within sixty (60) days after such filing, failing which the Holders of all Notes shall have an additional Tax Put Right in the amount of up to $2,500,000 in the aggregate for all such redemptions.

(ii)

Upon the receipt of notice from a Holder that such Holder has elected to exercise its Tax Put Right, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) business days after the receipt thereof, deliver a copy of such notice to the other Holders.  For a period of five (5) Business Days following its receipt of a Tax Put Right notice, each other Holder shall have the right and option (but not the obligation) to also exercise a Tax Put Right by delivering written notice thereof (which such notice shall include the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be put to the Company and the value thereof as of the date of such notice).  If the Holders electing to exercise their Tax Put Right elect to put more than the aggregate amount of shares that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 5(f)(i), then each Holder delivering a Tax Put Right notice shall be entitled to require the Company to repu rchase that number of shares of Common Stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 5(f)(i) by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock elected to be repurchased from such Holder and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock elected to be repurchased by all Holders that elect to exercise their Tax Put Right.

6.

Covenants.

(a)

Reservation of Conversion Shares and Common Stock Underlying MHR Warrants.  The Company agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from



21



preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of the issue upon conversion of the Notes, issue upon the exercise of the MHR Warrants and issuances of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.  The Company agrees that the Conversion Shares and shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the MHR Warrants shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

(b)

Required Registration.  The Company agrees that if any Conversion Shares or shares issued upon the exercise of the MHR Warrants require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or state Law, or any national securities exchange, before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.

(c)

Limitation on Senior Indebtedness.  

(i)

The Issuers covenant and agree that so long as any Notes shall remain outstanding, the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries, to directly or indirectly incur, create, assume, guarantee, become or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for the payment of, including, without limitation, by way of assumption or acquisition in a business combination (each event, an “incurrence”) any Indebtedness other than (x) the Notes, (y) Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed $23 million (which amount shall be increased by an amount equal to any cash equity contribution to the Company by Parent of the proceeds of any Investment Option Preferred Stock; but in no event shall such increase exceed $2 million); provided however that if Indebtedness is incurred under this subclause (c)(i)(y), at least $10 million principa l amount of such Indebtedness shall be in the form of a revolving loan facility secured by the Issuers’ accounts receivables or other similar asset-based loan; and (z) Subordinated Indebtedness; provided further however, that the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness pursuant to subclause (c)(i)(y) shall not cause the Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio to exceed 2.00 to 1.00 for the most recently ended four full Fiscal Quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred determined on a pro forma basis (including pro a forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four Fiscal Quarter period.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuers shall be permitted to incur a minimum of $15 million in Senior Indebtedness, provided that at least $10 million principal amount of such Indebtedness shall be in the form of a revolving loan facility secured by the Issuers’ accounts receivables or other similar asset-based loan.  

(ii)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6(c) to the contrary, as long as any Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement)(or any extensions, modifications, refinancings, renewals and refundings thereof in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) are outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Credit Agreement has not been terminated, the Issuers shall be permitted, and shall be allowed to permit any of their Subsidiaries, to directly or indirectly incur, create, assume, guarantee, become or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for the payment of, Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (including any extensions, modifications, refinancings, renewals and refundings thereof in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) in the principal amount of $17,000,000 and the provisions of clause (i) above shall not be applicable to any of such Sen ior Indebtedness unless and until ComVest, Parent or any of their Affiliates becomes the holder of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, whether as a result of the purchase of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to their exercise of the purchase option under Section 22 of the ComVest Senior Subordination Agreement or otherwise.  The limitation on the principal amount of Senior Indebtedness set forth in this clause (ii) shall not limit or otherwise affect the right of the holder of any such Senior Indebtedness to accrue and receive payment of interest (including at the default rate and including postpetition interest), fees, expenses or other charges.  Upon the purchase of Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement by ComVest, Parent or any of their Affiliates, this clause (ii) shall be null and void and the limitation on Senior Indebtedness shall be determined pursuant to clause (i) above.

(iii)

If on any date the Issuers incur Senior Indebtedness in breach of this Section 6(c) as a result of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Indebtedness exceeding the amount then permitted under subclause 6(c)(i)(y) hereof, such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if, and only if, the Issuers shall have concurrently with such incurrence prepaid to the Holder in respect of the outstanding principal amount of the Note an amount equal to 105% of the amount by which the Senior Indebtedness incurred, when aggregated with all such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Senior Indebtedness then permitted under such subclause 6(c)(i)(y).  In connection with any



22



payment to the Holder under this Section 6(c)(iii), the Issuers shall comply with the procedures applicable to redemption under Section 5(e) (including the giving of a notice to the Holder at least 30 days in advance of any prepayment) to the same extent as if such prepayment was being made as a redemption of the Notes pursuant to the provisions applicable to redemptions under Sections 5 (a) or (b) above.

(d)

Limitation on Liens.  The Issuers and their Subsidiaries shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon, in or against, or pledge of, any of the Collateral or any of their properties or assets or any of their authorized but unissued or treasury shares, securities or other equity or ownership or partnership interests, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for Permitted Liens; provided further, if the Issuers and their Subsidiaries shall incur any Liens securing Senior Indebtedness, the Issuers and their Subsidiaries shall cause all Obligations to also be secured by a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to a validly created and effective security interest, on a basis junior only to such Senior Indebtedness being so secured, in such manner as is consistent with the Credit Agreement and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes outstanding.

(e)

Right to Cure Default of First Priority Lien Indebtedness.  The Issuers agree that, upon any default, breach, violation, event, fact or circumstance under any First Priority Lien Indebtedness (including a Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, as defined therein) which, with the giving of applicable notice or passage of time or both, would permit the holder of such Indebtedness to declare a default or otherwise accelerate amounts due thereunder, which the Issuers have not cured within the permitted time period and ComVest, Parent, or a Parent Permitted Assignee (as defined below) have not elected, within five (5) Business Days of any such event, to repay, refinance or replace such Indebtedness or otherwise cure or provide funding to the Company for the purposes of curing such default (the “ComVest Cure”), MHR Fund Management LLC, its Affiliates, and any Person, directly or indirectl y, managed or controlled by MHR Fund Management LLC or its Affiliates, including without limitation, MHR Capital Partners Master Account LP, MHR Capital Partners (100) LP and OTQ LLC (collectively “MHR”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fund the repayment of such Indebtedness (including, without limitation, by way of purchasing interests in the loans under the Credit Agreement) or otherwise cure such default within five (5) Business Days of the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ComVest Cure period above and (ii) the receipt of notice from ComVest, Parent, or any Parent Permitted Assignee that it has elected not to pursue an ComVest Cure.  The Company shall give MHR written notice of any such default promptly after the occurrence thereof, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of any such default.  For purposes of the foregoing, a “Parent Permitted Assignee” shall mean the surviving entity in a reorganization or reca pitalization of Parent, including without limitation, by way of merger or consolidation with or into another person or entity, if the percentage interest of the members or stockholders, as the case may be, in the equity interests of the surviving entity following consummation of such transaction is substantially the same (on a relative basis) as each such stockholder’s percentage interest in Parent immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(b)

Mechanics of Conversion.  In order to effect a conversion pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall: (a) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Company and (b) surrender or cause to be surrendered this Note, duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Company.  Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, advising the Holder of any additional documentation required by the transfer agent for the Common Stock to issue the Conversion Shares in the manner provided in the Notice of Conversion (the “Additional Documentation”) and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Company regard ing the conversion.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue Conversion Shares upon a conversion unless either this Note is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Company required by Section 13.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made effective as of  the Conversion Date and the rights of the Holder of the Notes being converted shall cease as of the Conversion Date except for the rights to receive Conversion Shares, and the Person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such Conversion Shares at such time and shall have all the rights and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Conversion Shares.

(c)

Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion.  Upon the surrender of this Note accompanied by a Notice of Conversion and any Additional Documentation, the Company shall, no later than the later of (a) the second Business Day following the Conversion Date and (b) the third Business Day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Section 13) (the “Delivery Period”), issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Note being converted and (y) a new Note in the form hereof representing the balance of the principal amount hereof not being converted, if any.  If the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC, as specified in the Notice of Conversion, through its DTC Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DTC Transfer”).  If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares.  Further, the Holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.

(d)

Adjustment to Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

(i)

Common Stock Dividends; Common Stock Splits; Reverse Common Stock Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) shall pay a stock dividend on its Common Stock, (B) subdivide



11



outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) 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.

(ii)

Subscription Rights.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall fix a record date for the distribution to all of the holders of Common Stock evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities entitling them to subscribe for, purchase, convert to, exchange for or to otherwise acquire any security (excluding those referred to in Section 3(d)(i) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price at which this Note shall thereafter be exercisable shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the average Daily Market Price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the record date mentioned above, and the numerator of which shall be such average Daily Market Pric e of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a distribution exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the net assets of the Issuers, such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser selected by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The Company shall pay for all such appraisals.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(iii)

Other Events.  In case of (A) any reclassification of the Common Stock into other securities of the Company, (B) any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (C) any merger or consolidation with or into any persons, or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuers to any person (each of (A), (B) or (C), an “Extraordinary Event”), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such Extraordinary Event, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had it converted this Note immediately prior to such Extraordinary Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Notes).  In the c ase of an Extraordinary Event, the terms of any such Extraordinary Event shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash or property set forth in this Section 3(d)(iii) upon any conversion following such Extraordinary Event.  This provision shall similarly apply to successive Extraordinary Events.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this clause (iii) shall be construed to impair the Issuers’ or Holders’ rights under Section 5, including, without limitation, under Section 5(b).

(iv)

No Impairment. If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 3(d) are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the conversion rights under the Notes in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such Section, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price of the Notes shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances; provided, however, that no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made under this clause (iv) as a result of any bona fide sale of the Company’s Capital Stock to a third party.

The Issuers will not, by amendment of their organizational documents or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holders hereunder against dilution of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3(d) or other impairment.



12




(e)

Record Date.  In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of 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, provided, however, that any such adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be reversed or shall not become effective, as applicable, if the Company abandons the action to which the record date pertains.

(f)

Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of Section 5(d).

(g)

Fractional Shares.  Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the closing bid price at such time.  If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

(h)

Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 3, the Company, at its own expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

(viii)

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Issuer to, and each Issuer hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair o r recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Issuer’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Issuer’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii), and collecting any Obligation, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and (vi)  provide entitlement orders with respect to Security Entitlements (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and other Investment Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any Issuer, transfer to or register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral (defined below).  The Collateral Agent or any Holder may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Holders (but not any Holder in its individual capacity unless Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Issuer, and each Issuer hereby w aives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Each Issuer agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Issuer of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Issuer hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Holders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may h ave been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent and the Holders accept the first offer received and do not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any Issuer or any Subsidiary that such sale must be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and otherwise in accordance with applicable Law.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations, Issuers shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.  Each Issuer further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4(d)(viii) will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Holders, that the Collateral Agent and the Holders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Issuer, and each Issuer hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.

(e)

Power of Attorney.  The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for Issuer (without requiring the Collateral Agent to act as such, but to be exercised after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) endorse the name of any such Person upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments for the payment of money that are payable to such Person and constitute collections on its or their Accounts; (ii) execute in the name of such Person any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments, documents, and statements that it is or they are obligated to give the Collateral Agent under any of the Notes Documents; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Person that the



16



Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable to enforce any Account or other Collateral or to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest or Lien in any Collateral (including any additional Collateral pursuant to Sections 6(d) and 6(l)).  In addition, if any such Person breaches its obligation hereunder to direct payments of Accounts or the proceeds of any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account, the Collateral Agent, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for such Person pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of the Collateral Agent’s officers or authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay proceeds of Accounts or any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account.

The notice shall identify the amount Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(A)

the redemption date;

(B)

the applicable subsection of Section 5 pursuant to which the redemption will occur;

(C)

if applicable, the Redemption Price and the number of shares into which the Redemption Warrant will be exercisable, on the redemption date;

that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Company to collect the consideration (or if to an agent of the Company, the name and address of the agent where the Notes must be surrendered); and

that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date.

(ii)

Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and a written opinion from legal counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

(iii)

Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date.  Upon surrender to the Company, the consideration shall be delivered as stated in the notice.  Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.



20




(iv)

Holders shall be required to surrender the Notes being purchased by the Company, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice of redemption.  Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.

(v)

If any Note surrendered for redemption in the manner provided herein shall not be so paid on the redemption date due to the failure of the Company to deliver the required consideration, interest shall continue to accrue from the redemption date until such consideration is delivered, with such consideration being based on the unpaid principal and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the date and in the manner provided in the Notes which were to be redeemed.

(vi)

Any redemption shall be conditioned upon and occur either concurrently with or immediately prior to or after the consummation of the transaction, including without limitation a Change of Control, related to such redemption.

(vii)

Holders shall have the right to convert the Notes or any portion thereof in accordance with Section 3 at any time prior to the actual redemption of the Notes or applicable portion of the Notes, including without limitation, during the thirty (30) day notice period under this Section 5(e).

(f)

Tax Put Right.

(i)

For 30 days following a redemption in which the Holder receives Redemption Warrants, (A) the Holder shall have a right (the “Tax Put Right”) by written notice to the Company (which such notice shall include the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be put to the Company and the value thereof as of the date of such notice) to require the Issuers to purchase an amount of shares of Common Stock from the Holder, based on the average Daily Market Price during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to such redemption, that is equal to an amount of up to $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such redemptions for all Holders of all Notes and (B) if the amount received by the Holder after exercising its rights up to the maximum aggregate amount pursuant to clause (A) is, when combined with the consideration received by the Holder upon redemption of the Convertible Notes, still insufficient to pay the income taxes relating to the redemption, the receipt of the Redemption Warrants and the exercise of the Tax Put Right, then, upon receipt of written notice from the Holder (or any other Holder of Notes) of such insufficiency, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file one registration statement for all Holders of Notes (regardless of the number of redemptions) as soon as reasonably practicable after such redemption but in any event within thirty (30) days after such redemption and cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing but in any event within sixty (60) days after such filing, failing which the Holders of all Notes shall have an additional Tax Put Right in the amount of up to $2,500,000 in the aggregate for all such redemptions.

(ii)

Upon the receipt of notice from a Holder that such Holder has elected to exercise its Tax Put Right, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) business days after the receipt thereof, deliver a copy of such notice to the other Holders.  For a period of five (5) Business Days following its receipt of a Tax Put Right notice, each other Holder shall have the right and option (but not the obligation) to also exercise a Tax Put Right by delivering written notice thereof (which such notice shall include the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be put to the Company and the value thereof as of the date of such notice).  If the Holders electing to exercise their Tax Put Right elect to put more than the aggregate amount of shares that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 5(f)(i), then each Holder delivering a Tax Put Right notice shall be entitled to require the Company to repu rchase that number of shares of Common Stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 5(f)(i) by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock elected to be repurchased from such Holder and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock elected to be repurchased by all Holders that elect to exercise their Tax Put Right.

6.

Covenants.

(a)

Reservation of Conversion Shares and Common Stock Underlying MHR Warrants.  The Company agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from

The Issuers covenant and agree that so long as any Notes shall remain outstanding, the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries, to directly or indirectly incur, create, assume, guarantee, become or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for the payment of, including, without limitation, by way of assumption or acquisition in a business combination (each event, an “incurrence”) any Indebtedness other than (x) the Notes, (y) Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed $23 million (which amount shall be increased by an amount equal to any cash equity contribution to the Company by Parent of the proceeds of any Investment Option Preferred Stock; but in no event shall such increase exceed $2 million); provided however that if Indebtedness is incurred under this subclause (c)(i)(y), at least $10 million principa l amount of such Indebtedness shall be in the form of a revolving loan facility secured by the Issuers’ accounts receivables or other similar asset-based loan; and (z) Subordinated Indebtedness; provided further however, that the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness pursuant to subclause (c)(i)(y) shall not cause the Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio to exceed 2.00 to 1.00 for the most recently ended four full Fiscal Quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred determined on a pro forma basis (including pro a forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four Fiscal Quarter period.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuers shall be permitted to incur a minimum of $15 million in Senior Indebtedness, provided that at least $10 million principal amount of such Indebtedness shall be in the form of a revolving loan facility secured by the Issuers’ accounts receivables or other similar asset-based loan.  

(ii)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6(c) to the contrary, as long as any Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement)(or any extensions, modifications, refinancings, renewals and refundings thereof in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) are outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Credit Agreement has not been terminated, the Issuers shall be permitted, and shall be allowed to permit any of their Subsidiaries, to directly or indirectly incur, create, assume, guarantee, become or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for the payment of, Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (including any extensions, modifications, refinancings, renewals and refundings thereof in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) in the principal amount of $17,000,000 and the provisions of clause (i) above shall not be applicable to any of such Sen ior Indebtedness unless and until ComVest, Parent or any of their Affiliates becomes the holder of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, whether as a result of the purchase of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to their exercise of the purchase option under Section 22 of the ComVest Senior Subordination Agreement or otherwise.  The limitation on the principal amount of Senior Indebtedness set forth in this clause (ii) shall not limit or otherwise affect the right of the holder of any such Senior Indebtedness to accrue and receive payment of interest (including at the default rate and including postpetition interest), fees, expenses or other charges.  Upon the purchase of Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement by ComVest, Parent or any of their Affiliates, this clause (ii) shall be null and void and the limitation on Senior Indebtedness shall be determined pursuant to clause (i) above.

(iii)

If on any date the Issuers incur Senior Indebtedness in breach of this Section 6(c) as a result of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Indebtedness exceeding the amount then permitted under subclause 6(c)(i)(y) hereof, such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if, and only if, the Issuers shall have concurrently with such incurrence prepaid to the Holder in respect of the outstanding principal amount of the Note an amount equal to 105% of the amount by which the Senior Indebtedness incurred, when aggregated with all such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Senior Indebtedness then permitted under such subclause 6(c)(i)(y).  In connection with any



22



payment to the Holder under this Section 6(c)(iii), the Issuers shall comply with the procedures applicable to redemption under Section 5(e) (including the giving of a notice to the Holder at least 30 days in advance of any prepayment) to the same extent as if such prepayment was being made as a redemption of the Notes pursuant to the provisions applicable to redemptions under Sections 5 (a) or (b) above.

(d)

Limitation on Liens.  The Issuers and their Subsidiaries shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon, in or against, or pledge of, any of the Collateral or any of their properties or assets or any of their authorized but unissued or treasury shares, securities or other equity or ownership or partnership interests, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for Permitted Liens; provided further, if the Issuers and their Subsidiaries shall incur any Liens securing Senior Indebtedness, the Issuers and their Subsidiaries shall cause all Obligations to also be secured by a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to a validly created and effective security interest, on a basis junior only to such Senior Indebtedness being so secured, in such manner as is consistent with the Credit Agreement and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the principal amount and interest of the Notes outstanding.

(e)

Right to Cure Default of First Priority Lien Indebtedness.  The Issuers agree that, upon any default, breach, violation, event, fact or circumstance under any First Priority Lien Indebtedness (including a Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, as defined therein) which, with the giving of applicable notice or passage of time or both, would permit the holder of such Indebtedness to declare a default or otherwise accelerate amounts due thereunder, which the Issuers have not cured within the permitted time period and ComVest, Parent, or a Parent Permitted Assignee (as defined below) have not elected, within five (5) Business Days of any such event, to repay, refinance or replace such Indebtedness or otherwise cure or provide funding to the Company for the purposes of curing such default (the “ComVest Cure”), MHR Fund Management LLC, its Affiliates, and any Person, directly or indirectl y, managed or controlled by MHR Fund Management LLC or its Affiliates, including without limitation, MHR Capital Partners Master Account LP, MHR Capital Partners (100) LP and OTQ LLC (collectively “MHR”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fund the repayment of such Indebtedness (including, without limitation, by way of purchasing interests in the loans under the Credit Agreement) or otherwise cure such default within five (5) Business Days of the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ComVest Cure period above and (ii) the receipt of notice from ComVest, Parent, or any Parent Permitted Assignee that it has elected not to pursue an ComVest Cure.  The Company shall give MHR written notice of any such default promptly after the occurrence thereof, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of any such default.  For purposes of the foregoing, a “Parent Permitted Assignee” shall mean the surviving entity in a reorganization or reca pitalization of Parent, including without limitation, by way of merger or consolidation with or into another person or entity, if the percentage interest of the members or stockholders, as the case may be, in the equity interests of the surviving entity following consummation of such transaction is substantially the same (on a relative basis) as each such stockholder’s percentage interest in Parent immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(f)

(b)  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date.  As promptly as practicable on or after such date, and in any event within five (5) days thereafter, the Company shall, at its expense, issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares issuable upon such exercise; (ii) in the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, a new Warrant of like tenor representing the portion of the shares of Common Stock, with respect to which this Warrant will not then have been exe rcised and exercisable for the number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised; and (iii) an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares as provided in Section 4 hereof.

(c)  Net Issue Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (and the Holder shall receive the rights and benefits of a record holder of such shares of Common Stock as desc ribed in Section 3(b) hereof):

 

X = 

Y (A − B)

 

 

A

X =

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

Y =

the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

A =

the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Company’s Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal over a five (5) day period ending with the third business day before the date of determination of fair market value.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering.  

(d)  Automatic Exercise.  In the event that the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Warrant Issue Date, to the extent that this Warrant is then exercisable and such exercise would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised for all purposes hereof (including for purposes of Section 3(b) hereof) through a Net Issue Exercise as described in Section 3(c) hereof immediately prior to the time at which it would otherwise expire.

(e)  Company to Reaffirm Obligations.  The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to the Holder.

4.  No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

5.  Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant or stock certificate, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant or stock certificate, a new warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and amount.

6.  Rights of Stockholders to Receive Information.  The Company will furnish or make available to each Holder, promptly upon their becoming available and at the request of the Holder, copies of all financial statements, reports, and notices sent or made available by the Company to any of its stockholders, and copies of any and all regular and periodic reports, registration statements and prospectuses filed by the Company with any securities exchange or with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

A “Sale of the Company” shall mean the sale of the Company to an independent third party or group of independent third parties pursuant to which such party or parties acquire (a) Capital Stock (as defined in the Preferred Stock Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement) of the Company possessing the voting power under normal circumstances to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (whether by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of the Capital Stock) or (b) all

11.2  Intentionally Omitted.

11.3  Reclassification, etc.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.< /FONT>

11.4  Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

11.5  Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property.  If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, the Holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional st ock or other securities or property of the Company that such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11.

11.6  Preferred Stock Investment Option.  In connection with each exercise (each, a “Preferred Stock Exercise”) by Parent, if any, of the Preferred Stock Investment Option, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Note Warrants shall be proportionately increased as of the date of each such exercise by Parent by such number of additional shares of Common Stock necessary so that the sum of such additional shares (the “Additional Warrant Shares”), together with the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Note Warrants immediately prior to any such adju stment under this Section 11.6, shall equal ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company immediately following the Effective Time, assuming (1) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Additional Preferred Stock”) issued upon the subject Preferred Stock Exercise had been issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time, and (2) full exercise and conversion of all securities of the Company issued and outstanding immediately following the Effective Time, including full exercise of the Note Warrants, conversion of all the shares of the Additional Preferred Stock, conversion of all the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection with the consummation of the Merger and upon the conversion of the Bridge Note, and exercise of all options outstanding or reserved for issuance, including under the Management Option Plan.  In the event of any such adjustment under th is Section 11.6, the number of shares of Common Stock  purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the pro rata portion of the Additional Warrant Shares allocable to this Warrant (relative to the other Note Warrants).  Attached as Schedule 11.6 is a table reflecting the capitalization of the Company immediately following the Effective Time, including the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Note Warrants, both in the case that there is no Preferred Stock Exercise and in the case that the Preferred Stock Exercise is exercised in full.



6




11.7  Other Dilutive Events.  In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 11 are not strictly applicable but failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such actions, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (such firm to be subject to the approval of the Holder), which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 11, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.  Upon receipt of such opinion, the Co mpany will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein.

11.8  Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.  In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, additional shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 11 shall be deemed to have been issued (i) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (ii) in the case of any such subdivision, at t he close of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

11.9  Certificate as to Adjustments; Issuance of New Warrant.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant (i) a certificate signed by any senior executive of the Company setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and (ii) a new Warrant of like tenor representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable after giving effect to any and all such adjustments and readjustments.

11.10  No Dilution or Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable theref or upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise.  The Company shall also give written notice to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any such voluntary action described in the first sentence of this Section 11.10 shall take place.

12.  Registration Rights and Registration of Common Stock.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have and be entitled to exercise, together with all other holders of Registrable Securities possessing registration rights under that certain Investor Rights Agreement, of even date herewith, between the Company and the parties who have executed the counterpart signature pages thereto or are otherwise bound thereby (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the rights of registration granted under the Investor Rights Agreement to Registrable Securities (with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant).  At any such time as Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange, the Company will, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuabl e upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and maintain the listing of such shares after their issuance; and the Company will also list on such national securities exchange, will register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will maintain such listing of, any other securities that at any time are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange by the Company.

15.  Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which will remain in full force and effect.

16.  Successors and Assigns.    The provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and transferees.

17.  Further Assurances.  The Company agrees that it will execute and record such documents as the Holder shall reasonably request to secure for the Holder any of the rights represented by this Warrant.

(b)  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date.  As promptly as practicable on or after such date, and in any event within five (5) days thereafter, the Company shall, at its expense, issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares issuable upon such exercise; (ii) in the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, a new Warrant of like tenor representing the portion of the shares of Common Stock, with respect to which this Warrant will not then have been exe rcised and exercisable for the number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised; and (iii) an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares as provided in Section 4 hereof.

(c)  Net Issue Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (and the Holder shall receive the rights and benefits of a record holder of such shares of Common Stock as desc ribed in Section 3(b) hereof):

 

X = 

Y (A − B)

 

 

A

X =

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

Y =

the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

A =

the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

B =

Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Company’s Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal over a five (5) day period ending with the third business day before the date of determination of fair market value.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering.  

(d)  Automatic Exercise.  In the event that the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Warrant Issue Date, to the extent that this Warrant is then exercisable and such exercise would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised for all purposes hereof (including for purposes of Section 3(b) hereof) through a Net Issue Exercise as described in Section 3(c) hereof immediately prior to the time at which it would otherwise expire.

(e)  Company to Reaffirm Obligations.  The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to the Holder.  



2




4.  No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

5.  Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant or stock certificate, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant or stock certificate, a new warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and amount.

6.  Rights of Stockholders to Receive Information.  The Company will furnish or make available to each Holder, promptly upon their becoming available and at the request of the Holder, copies of all financial statements, reports, and notices sent or made available by the Company to any of its stockholders, and copies of any and all regular and periodic reports, registration statements and prospectuses filed by the Company with any securities exchange or with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

7.  Transfer of Warrant.

(a)  Warrant Register.  The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders.  Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change his or her address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.  Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register.  Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(b)    Closing of Books.  The Company will at no time close its transfer books in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

(c)  Transferability and Non-negotiability of Warrant.  This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the Company).  Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder executing the Assignment Form annexed hereto) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrume nt transferable by endorsement and delivery.

(d)  Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer.  On surrender of this Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers contained in this Section 7, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.

(e)  Issue Tax.  The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the total or partial exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof (not including income or capital tax).

(f)  Compliance with Securities Laws.

(i)  The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock or Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or any state securities laws.

8.  Reservation of Stock.  The Company covenants that during the term this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.  The Company further covenants that all shares that may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein) and will not be subject to any preemptive rights.   ;The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

11.  Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

11.1  Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired, there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets as, or substant ially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.  In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, if at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired, (A) there shall be any transacti on as described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above that constitutes a Sale of the Company and also constitutes either (x) a Liquidation Event, (y) an Acquisition or (z) an Asset Transfer (as each such term is defined in the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company) for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock is converted or redeemed for the Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company), and (B) this Warrant has not been exercised prior to the consummation thereof, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised in whole through Net Issue Exercise as described in Section 3(c) hereof.  The Company agrees that such shares to be issued to the Holder upon Net Issue Exercise as a result of a transaction described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date of such transaction.

A “Sale of the Company” shall mean the sale of the Company to an independent third party or group of independent third parties pursuant to which such party or parties acquire (a) Capital Stock (as defined in the Preferred Stock Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement) of the Company possessing the voting power under normal circumstances to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (whether by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of the Capital Stock) or (b) all



5



or substantially all of the Company’s assets determined on a consolidated basis.  For purposes of this definition, “independent third party” means any Person who, immediately prior to such contemplated transaction, (w) does not own or have any voting or economic rights with respect to more than five percent (5%) of the Capital Stock on a fully-diluted and as converted to Common Stock basis, (x) is not an Affiliate of any Person who owns or has any voting or economic right with respect to more than five percent (5%) of the Capital Stock on a fully-diluted and as converted to Common Stock basis, (y) is not Parent, and (z) is not an Affiliate of Parent.

11.2  Intentionally Omitted.

11.3  Reclassification, etc.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.< /FONT>

11.4  Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

11.5  Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property.  If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, the Holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional st ock or other securities or property of the Company that such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11.

11.6  Preferred Stock Investment Option.  In connection with each exercise (each, a “Preferred Stock Exercise”) by Parent, if any, of the Preferred Stock Investment Option, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Note Warrants shall be proportionately increased as of the date of each such exercise by Parent by such number of additional shares of Common Stock necessary so that the sum of such additional shares (the “Additional Warrant Shares”), together with the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Note Warrants immediately prior to any such adjustment under this Section 11 .6, shall equal ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company immediately following the Effective Time, assuming (1) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Additional Preferred Stock”) issued upon the subject Preferred Stock Exercise had been issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time, and (2) full exercise and conversion of all securities of the Company issued and outstanding immediately following the Effective Time, including full exercise of the Note Warrants, conversion of all the shares of the Additional Preferred Stock, conversion of all the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection with the consummation of the Merger and upon the conversion of the Bridge Note, and exercise of all options outstanding or reserved for issuance, including under the Management Option Plan.  In the event of any such adjustment under this Section 11.6, the number of shares of Common Stock  purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the pro rata portion of the Additional Warrant Shares allocable to this Warrant (relative to the other Note Warrants).  Attached as Schedule 11.6 is a table reflecting the capitalization of the Company immediately following the Effective Time, including the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Note Warrants, both in the case that there is no Preferred Stock Exercise and in the case that the Preferred Stock Exercise is exercised in full.



6




11.7  Other Dilutive Events.  In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 11 are not strictly applicable but failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such actions, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (such firm to be subject to the approval of the Holder), which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 11, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.  Upon receipt of such opinion, the Co mpany will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein.

11.8  Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.  In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, additional shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 11 shall be deemed to have been issued (i) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (ii) in the case of any such subdivision, at t he close of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

11.9  Certificate as to Adjustments; Issuance of New Warrant.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant (i) a certificate signed by any senior executive of the Company setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and (ii) a new Warrant of like tenor representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable after giving effect to any and all such adjustments and readjustments.

11.10  No Dilution or Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable theref or upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise.  The Company shall also give written notice to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any such voluntary action described in the first sentence of this Section 11.10 shall take place.

12.  Registration Rights and Registration of Common Stock.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have and be entitled to exercise, together with all other holders of Registrable Securities possessing registration rights under that certain Investor Rights Agreement, of even date herewith, between the Company and the parties who have executed the counterpart signature pages thereto or are otherwise bound thereby (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the rights of registration granted under the Investor Rights Agreement to Registrable Securities (with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant).  At any such time as Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange, the Company will, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and maintain the listing of such shares after their issuance; and the Company will also list on such national securities exchange, will register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will maintain such listing of, any other securities that at any time are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange by the Company.

13.  Intentionally Omitted.

14.  Remedies.  In case any one or more of the covenants and agreements contained in this Warrant is breached, the Holder may proceed to protect and enforce their or its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including, but not limited to, an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Warrant.

15.  Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which will remain in full force and effect.

16.  Successors and Assigns.    The provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and transferees.

17.  Further Assurances.  The Company agrees that it will execute and record such documents as the Holder shall reasonably request to secure for the Holder any of the rights represented by this Warrant.

18.  Descriptive Headings and Governing Law.  The description headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.  This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law provisions.

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Company’s Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal over a five (5) day period ending with the third business day before the date of determination of fair market value.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering.  

(d)  Automatic Exercise.  In the event that the Holder does not exercise this Warrant prior to the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Warrant Issue Date, to the extent that this Warrant is then exercisable and such exercise would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised for all purposes hereof (including for purposes of Section 3(b) hereof) through a Net Issue Exercise as described in Section 3(c) hereof immediately prior to the time at which it would otherwise expire.

(e)  Company to Reaffirm Obligations.  The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to the Holder.

4.  No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

5.  Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant or stock certificate, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant or stock certificate, a new warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and amount.

6.  Rights of Stockholders to Receive Information.  The Company will furnish or make available to each Holder, promptly upon their becoming available and at the request of the Holder, copies of all financial statements, reports, and notices sent or made available by the Company to any of its stockholders, and copies of any and all regular and periodic reports, registration statements and prospectuses filed by the Company with any securities exchange or with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

7.  Transfer of Warrant.

(a)  Warrant Register.  The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders.  Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change his or her address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.  Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register.  Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(b)    Closing of Books.  The Company will at no time close its transfer books in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

(c)  Transferability and Non-negotiability of Warrant.  This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the Company).  Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder executing the Assignment Form annexed hereto) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrume nt transferable by endorsement and delivery.

(d)  Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer.  On surrender of this Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers contained in this Section 7, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.

(e)  Issue Tax.  The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the total or partial exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof (not including income or capital tax).

(f)  Compliance with Securities Laws.

11.  Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

11.1  Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired, there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets as, or substant ially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.  In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, if at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired, (A) there shall be any transacti on as described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above that constitutes a Sale of the Company and also constitutes either (x) a Liquidation Event, (y) an Acquisition or (z) an Asset Transfer (as each such term is defined in the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company) for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock is converted or redeemed for the Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company), and (B) this Warrant has not been exercised prior to the consummation thereof, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised in whole through Net Issue Exercise as described in Section 3(c) hereof.  The Company agrees that such shares to be issued to the Holder upon Net Issue Exercise as a result of a transaction described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date of such transaction.

A “Sale of the Company” shall mean the sale of the Company to an independent third party or group of independent third parties pursuant to which such party or parties acquire (a) Capital Stock (as defined in the Preferred Stock Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement) of the Company possessing the voting power under normal circumstances to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (whether by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of the Capital Stock) or (b) all



5



or substantially all of the Company’s assets determined on a consolidated basis.  For purposes of this definition, “independent third party” means any Person who, immediately prior to such contemplated transaction, (w) does not own or have any voting or economic rights with respect to more than five percent (5%) of the Capital Stock on a fully-diluted and as converted to Common Stock basis, (x) is not an Affiliate of any Person who owns or has any voting or economic right with respect to more than five percent (5%) of the Capital Stock on a fully-diluted and as converted to Common Stock basis, (y) is not Parent, and (z) is not an Affiliate of Parent.

11.2  Intentionally Omitted.

11.3  Reclassification, etc.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.< /FONT>

11.4  Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

11.5  Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property.  If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, the Holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional st ock or other securities or property of the Company that such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11.

11.6  Preferred Stock Investment Option.  In connection with each exercise (each, a “Preferred Stock Exercise”) by Parent, if any, of the Preferred Stock Investment Option, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Note Warrants shall be proportionately increased as of the date of each such exercise by Parent by such number of additional shares of Common Stock necessary so that the sum of such additional shares (the “Additional Warrant Shares”), together with the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Note Warrants immediately prior to any such adjustment under this Section 11 .6, shall equal ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company immediately following the Effective Time, assuming (1) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Additional Preferred Stock”) issued upon the subject Preferred Stock Exercise had been issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time, and (2) full exercise and conversion of all securities of the Company issued and outstanding immediately following the Effective Time, including full exercise of the Note Warrants, conversion of all the shares of the Additional Preferred Stock, conversion of all the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection with the consummation of the Merger and upon the conversion of the Bridge Note, and exercise of all options outstanding or reserved for issuance, including under the Management Option Plan.  In the event of any such adjustment under this Section 11.6, the number of shares of Common Stock  purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the pro rata portion of the Additional Warrant Shares allocable to this Warrant (relative to the other Note Warrants).  Attached as Schedule 11.6 is a table reflecting the capitalization of the Company immediately following the Effective Time, including the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Note Warrants, both in the case that there is no Preferred Stock Exercise and in the case that the Preferred Stock Exercise is exercised in full.



6




11.7  Other Dilutive Events.  In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 11 are not strictly applicable but failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such actions, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (such firm to be subject to the approval of the Holder), which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 11, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.  Upon receipt of such opinion, the Co mpany will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein.

11.8  Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.  In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, additional shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 11 shall be deemed to have been issued (i) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (ii) in the case of any such subdivision, at t he close of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

11.9  Certificate as to Adjustments; Issuance of New Warrant.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant (i) a certificate signed by any senior executive of the Company setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and (ii) a new Warrant of like tenor representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable after giving effect to any and all such adjustments and readjustments.

11.10  No Dilution or Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable theref or upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise.  The Company shall also give written notice to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any such voluntary action described in the first sentence of this Section 11.10 shall take place.

12.  Registration Rights and Registration of Common Stock.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have and be entitled to exercise, together with all other holders of Registrable Securities possessing registration rights under that certain Investor Rights Agreement, of even date herewith, between the Company and the parties who have executed the counterpart signature pages thereto or are otherwise bound thereby (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the rights of registration granted under the Investor Rights Agreement to Registrable Securities (with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant).  At any such time as Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange, the Company will, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and maintain the listing of such shares after their issuance; and the Company will also list on such national securities exchange, will register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will maintain such listing of, any other securities that at any time are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange by the Company.



7




13.  Intentionally Omitted.

14.  Remedies.  In case any one or more of the covenants and agreements contained in this Warrant is breached, the Holder may proceed to protect and enforce their or its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including, but not limited to, an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Warrant.

15.  Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which will remain in full force and effect.

16.  Successors and Assigns.    The provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and transferees.

17.  Further Assurances.  The Company agrees that it will execute and record such documents as the Holder shall reasonably request to secure for the Holder any of the rights represented by this Warrant.

18.  Descriptive Headings and Governing Law.  The description headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.  This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law provisions.

10.

PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


(a)

Within forty (40) days after the actual receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any Proceeding for which indemnity will or could be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall submit to the Company a written notice identifying the Proceeding.  The failure by such Indemnified Party to notify the Company within such 40-day period will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (i) otherwise than under this Agreement, and (ii) under this Agreement, unless and only to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence of the failure to provide notice within such 40-day period.


(b)

An Indemnified Party shall at the time of giving such notice pursuant to Section 10(a) or thereafter deliver to the Company a written application for indemnification.  Such application may be delivered at such time as such Indemnified Party deems appropriate in his, her or its sole discretion.  Following delivery of such a written application for indemnification by an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined promptly according to Section 11(a) of this Agreement and the outcome of such determination shall be reported to such Indemnified Party in writing within forty (40) days of the submission of such application.


11.

PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


(a)

Upon written application by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(b) or written statement by an Indemnified Party for advances of Expenses pursuant to Section 9(b), a determination with respect to such Indemnified Party’s entitlement thereto pursuant to the mandatory terms of this Agreement, pursuant to statute, or pursuant to other sources of right to indemnity, and pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement shall be made in the specific case by one of the following three methods, which shall be at the election of the Indemnified Party: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, whether or not such directors otherwise would constitute a quorum of the Board; or (ii) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to such Indemnified Party.   An Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to such Indemn ified Party’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to such Indemnified Party and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such Indemnified Party in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to such Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold such Indemnified Party harmless from any such Expenses.


(b)

If it is determined that an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification requested by such Indemnified Party in a written application submitted to the Company pursuant to Section 10(b), payment to such Indemnified Party shall be made within thirty (30) days after such determination.  All advances of Expenses requested in a written statement by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9(b) prior to a final determination of eligibility for indemnification shall be paid in accordance with Section 9.


(c)

In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnified Party (unless the Indemnified Party requests that such selection be made by the Board). The Company or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Indemnified Party or the Company, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this



5



Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit.


(d)

If, within twenty (20) days after submission by an Indemnified Party of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(b) or 10(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Indemnified Party or the Company, as the case may be, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by a court of competent jurisdiction or by such other person as a court of competent jurisdiction shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof.


(e)

The Company agrees to pay the reasonable Expenses of the Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify such Independent Counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.


(f)

Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, any Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).


12.

PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS.


(a)

Presumption in Favor of Indemnified Party.  In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if such Indemnified Party has submitted an application for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption.


(b)

No Presumption Against Indemnified Party.  Neither the failure of the Company (including by its Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that an Indemnified Party has not met the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such Indemnified Party has not met the applicable standard of conduct.


(c)

Forty Day Period for Determination.  If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within forty (40) days after receipt by the Company of an application therefor, a determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by such Indemnified Party of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make such Indemnified Party’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.


(d)

No Presumption from Termination of a Proceeding.  The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnified Party did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted under applicable law.


(e)

Reliance as Safe Harbor.  For purposes of any determination of whether an Indemnified Party committed willful misconduct in bad faith, an Indemnified Party shall be deemed not to have committed willful misconduct in bad faith if such Indemnified Party’s action or failure to act is based on the records or books of account of the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company, including financial statements, or on information supplied to such Indemnified Party by the officers of the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or any



6



Enterprise other than the Company by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company, except if such Indemnified Party knew or had reason to know that such records or books, information supplied by such officers, advice of legal counsel or information or records given or reports made by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert were materially false or inaccurate.  The provisions of this Section 12(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which an Indemnified Party may be deemed or found to have met any applicable standard of conduct.


(f)

Actions of Others.  The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, partner, member, fiduciary, employee and/or agent of the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company shall not be imputed to an Indemnified Party for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.


13.

REMEDIES OF INDEMNIFIED PARTY.


(a)

Adjudication/Arbitration.  In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the application for indemnification, or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11(b) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, or after receipt by the Company of a written request for any additional monies owed with respect to a Proceeding as to which it already has been determined that an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his, her or its entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.  Alternatively, such Indemnified Party, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The Company shall not oppose such Indemnified Party’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.


(b)

Indemnified Party Not Prejudiced by Prior Adverse Determination.  In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and such Indemnified Party shall not be prejudiced by reason of the prior adverse determination.  In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall have the burden of proving an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.


(c)

Company Bound by Prior Determination.  If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by such Indemnified Party of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make such Indemnified Party’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.


(d)

Expenses.  In the event that an Indemnified Party, pursuant to this Section 13, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses incurred by him or her in preparation for, participation in or otherwise in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration, regardless of whether the Indemnified Party is ultimately determined to be entitled to such indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.


(e)

Advances of Expenses.  If requested by an Indemnified Party, the Company shall (within two (2) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance to such Indemnified Party the Expenses in preparation for, participation in or otherwise in connection with, any judicial proceeding or arbitration brought by such Indemnified Party for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or bylaw of the Company now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification resulting from the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, and/or under any directors’ and/or officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether the Indemnified Party is ultimately determined to be entitled to such advance Expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be.



7



(f)

Precluded Assertions by the Company.  The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.


14.

NON-EXCLUSIVITY; PRIMACY OF INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION; COMPETING ACTIVITIES.


(a)

Rights of Indemnified Party Not Exclusive.  The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or a resolution of officers, or otherwise, including without limitation as set forth in the Merger Agreement.  No right or remedy herein conferred by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.  


(b)

Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee, as the case may be, may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of Expenses and/or insurance provided by a Fund Indemnitor, as applicable.  The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of a Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, to advance Expenses or to provide indemnification for the same Expenses or Losses incurred by Indemnitee are secondary to any such obligation of the Company), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses and Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against a Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, from any and all claims (x) against such Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, for contribution, indemnification, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (y) that the Indemnitee must seek Expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, before the Company must perform its Expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement.  No advancement or payment by any Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect any of the foregoing.  Each Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which Indemnitee would have had against th e Company if such Fund Indemnitor, as applicable, had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of Indemnitee. The Company and Indemnitee agree that each Fund Indemnitor is an express third party beneficiary of the terms of this Agreement.


(c)

Survival of Rights.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of an Indemnified Party under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnified Party in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.


(d)

Change of Law.  To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that an Indemnified Party shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.


(e)

Insurance.  


(i)

As long as the Indemnitee shall continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee, partner, member, fiduciary, employee and/or agent of any other Enterprise, and thereafter as long as any Indemnified Party shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, the Company will purchase and maintain in effect for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties one or more valid, binding and enforceable policies (the “Insurance Policies”) of directors’ and/or officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”)



8



providing adequate liability coverage for the Indemnitee’s acts in such capacities. The Company shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of any lapse, amendment or failure to renew said policy or policies or any provision thereof relating to the extent or nature of coverage provided thereunder. In the event the Company does not purchase and maintain in effect said policy or policies of D&O Insurance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14(e), the Company shall, in addition to and not in limitation of the other rights granted the Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, hold harmless and indemnify the Indemnified Parties to the full extent of coverage which would otherwise have been provided for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Insurance Policies.


(ii)

To the extent that the Company maintains Insurance Policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees, partners, members, fiduciaries, employees, and/or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnified Parties shall be covered by such Insurance Policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, trustee, partner, member, fiduciary, officer, employee and/or agent under such Insurance Policies.  If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which an Indemnified Party is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), the Company has D&O Insurance in effect that covers such Indemnified Party, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective Insurance Policies.   The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of such Indemnified Party, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such Insurance Policies.


(f)

Subrogation.  Except as provided in Section 14(b) above, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of an Indemnified Party, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the ability of an Indemnified Party to compromise or settle any Proceeding, including waiving any claim that would otherwise be available to the Company under or as a result of this Section 14(f), in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.


(g)

Other Payments. Except as provided in Section 14(b) above, (i) the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnified Party has otherwise actually received such payment without restriction or condition under any insurance policy, contract or agreement, and such payment has not been challenged, subject to repayment or repaid, and (ii) the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to the Indemnified Party who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, member, fiduciary, employee and/or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount the Indemnified Party has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such Enterprise.


(h)

Partial Indemnification.  If any Indemnified Party is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Losses or Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnified Party for the portion thereof to which the Indemnified Party is entitled.  


(i)

Competing Activities.  Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement and any other agreements with the Company, each Indemnified Party (other than an Indemnified Party that is also serving as an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), at any time and from time to time, may engage in and own interests in other business ventures of any type and description, independently or with others (including business ventures in competition with the Company), and shall not be required to direct or offer to the Company or any of its subsidiaries any business or other opportunities that such person may pursue independently of his, her or its relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries.  An Indemnified Party shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted hereunder against all Losses and Expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with a Proceeding relating to any activities of the Indemnified Party that are contemplated by this Section 14(i).


15.

DURATION OF AGREEMENT.  All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a director and/or an officer of the Company or of any other Enterprise and shall continue thereafter



9



so long as any Indemnified Party shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced by such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement, including any rights of appeal of any proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 13) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement.  The Company shall require any successor or assignee (including any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect successor by merger, consolidation or otherwise), by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.  


16.

SEVERABILITY.  If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, th at is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby; and (d) the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party as to all Losses and Expenses to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.


17.

ENFORCEMENT.


(a)

The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director and/or an officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving or continuing to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company.


(b)

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.


18.

MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.  No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.


19.

SECURITY.  To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to the Indemnified Parties for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral.  Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.

 

20.

SUCCESSORS AND BINDING AGREEMENT.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Indemnified Parties, including as third party beneficiaries hereunder, and each of their personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, legatees and other successors.


21.

GUARANTEE.  Each of the subsidiaries of the Company party to this Agreement (each, a “Guarantor”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of all obligations of the Company under this Agreement. If any subsidiary (each, a “Significant Subsidiary”) of the Company, whether already existing or newly formed and whether direct or indirect, owns or acquires at any time in the future assets having a book value of $1,000,000 or more, then the Company shall promptly cause such Significant Subsidiary to become a party to this Agreement for purposes of this Section 21 and such Significant Subsidiary shall have all obligations under this Section 21 as if it had been an original party to this Agreement solely for purposes of being a Guarantor.



10



22.

DUE AUTHORIZATION.  As of the date hereof, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized and approved (i) by the Rachesky Indemnification Agreement Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) following due delegation of all power and authority by the Board to the Committee to consider and approve, pursuant to the resolutions attached hereto as Exhibit A, (ii) by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Guarantors, and (iii) by a unanimous written consent of the stockholders of the Company duly executed in accordance with the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company.  As of the date hereof, this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Guarantors which is a party thereto and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Indemnitee) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, or, as the case may be, the Guarantors, enforceable against the Company or, as the case may be, each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.


23.

OTHER AGREEMENTS.  If the Company proposes, at any time and from time to time, during the term of this Agreement, to enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (an “Other Agreement”) with any other person relating to any of the matters addressed by or related to this Agreement, the Company shall (i) give a copy thereof if in writing or a full description thereof, if oral, to the Indemnitee not less than ten (10) days before entering into any such Other Agreement, and (ii) if such proposed Other Agreement contains or refers to any term, provision, condition or arrangement that could be either more favorable to such other person or more restrictive to the Company than those contained (or not contained) in this Agreement, offer the Indemnitee the right to amend this Agreement to incorporate such term, provision, condition or arrangement, no later than ten (10) days prior to the date the Company proposes to enter into such Other Agr eement.
