If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after July 31, 2012 effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price and Conversion Price Floor (as defined in Section 3(e)) then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.

capital stock of the Company, evidences of indebtedness, or any other asset (collectively, the “Distributed Property”), then and in each such event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend and distribution minus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the exdividend date for such dividend and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced below $2.78 (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(d), the “Conversion Price Floor”) pursuant to this clause (e). If a distribution or dividend would cause the Conversion Price to be below the Conversion Price Floor if not for the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall allow the Investor to participate in the dividend or distribution as if it held the number of shares of Common Stock that this Note would be convertible into at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date or effective date, as the case may be, for such distribution or dividend, and no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price as a result of such distribution or dividend.

In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Investor after the Capital Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares) and the provisions of the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will be

applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable. In the event that the Company is not the surviving entity of any such Capital Reorganization, each Note shall become Notes of such surviving entity, with the same powers, rights and preferences as provided herein.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the restrictions set forth in this Article III shall terminate (i) upon the consummation of a Change of Control, or (ii) at such time as the Investor, together with its Affiliates, “beneficially owns” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) in the aggregate Voting Shares of the Company (measured by voting power rather than number of shares) representing less than five percent (5%) of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of voting stock of the Company.

(v) the Conversion Price then in effect and the place where such Notes may be surrendered for conversion.

No failure by the Company to give the Change of Control Notice and no defect in any Change of Control Notice shall limit the Investor’s right to exercise its Change of Control Repurchase Right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Notes. If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Section 4 are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

(c) To exercise the Change of Control Repurchase Right, the Investor shall deliver to the Company, on or before the Trading Day immediately prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, (i) written notice of the Investor’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Investor, the Face Amount of Notes held by the Investor to be repurchased, and a statement that an election to exercise the Change of Control Repurchase Right is being made thereby, and (ii) the Notes with respect to which the Change of Control Repurchase Right is being exercised. Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Investor to convert the Notes shall continue until midnight (Eastern Time) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Repurchase Date.

(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and (ii) deliver cash in the amount of the Change of Control Payment to the Investor in respect of

all Notes or portions thereof so tendered. All Notes repurchased by the Company shall be canceled immediately by the Company

(f) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.

(g) Any Note which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Company and the Company shall execute and make available for delivery to the Investor without service charge, a new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered. Any Notes surrendered to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 shall be retired and cancelled.

(h) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

5. Events of Default. Definitions. For purposes of this Note, the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

amount of any other such Debt that has not been paid when due, or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10,000,000 or more;

(vi) failure by the Company to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $10,000,000, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

The Investor may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would

not conflict with any judgment or decree. Notwithstanding the foregoing (or anything to the contrary in the Agreement), the sole remedy of the Investor for a failure by the Company to comply with Section 8.6(b) of the Agreement shall, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such failure, be the right, by notice to the Company by the Investor, to increase in the rate of interest on this Note to 6% for the first 180 days of such failure, and to 9% thereafter (which increased interest shall constitute liquidated damages for such failure).
