Issuance Date: May 25, 2006 Principal: U.S. $15,000,000

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DayStar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of LC CAPITAL MASTER FUND, LTD. or registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set out above as the Principal (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), on any Installment Date with respect to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date (each, as defined herein), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at a rate equal to 7.5% per annum (the “Interest Rate”), from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), any Installment Date or the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Convertible Note (this “Note”) is the Senior Convertible Note issued pursuant to Section 19(d) hereof after assignment to the Holder on January 19, 2007 pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below)

of all rights and interests in the original Senior Convertible Note issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below) on the Closing Date. This Note and any Senior Convertible Note issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Notes” and any such other Senior Convertible Notes, shall be referred to herein as the “Other Notes”. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 29.

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On each Installment Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date in accordance with Section 8. The “Maturity Date” shall be the eight (8) month anniversary of the Initial Maturity Date as may be extended at the option of the Holder (i) in the event that, and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing or any event shall have occurred and be continuing which with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an Event of Default and (ii) through the date that is ten (10) days after the consummation of a Change of Control in the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 5(b)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date.

2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears for each Payment Quarter on the first day of the succeeding Payment Quarter during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date (each, an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being July 1, 2006. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date, and to the extent that any Principal amount of this Note is converted prior to such Interest Date, accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such converted Principal amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal and Interest shall be paid through the Conversion Date (as defined below) on the next succeeding Interest Date to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Conversion Date, in cash (“Cash Interest”) or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Common Stock (“Interest Shares”) or a combination thereof, provided that the Interest which accrued during any period may be payable in Interest Shares if, and only if, the Company delivers written notice (each, an “Interest Election Notice”) of such election to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the tenth (10^th) Trading Day prior to the Interest Date (each, an “Interest Notice Due Date”); provided, further, that if the Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) has not been obtained by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company may not elect to pay Interest in Interest Shares and must pay all Interest due hereunder as Cash Interest until such time as the Stockholder Approval has been obtained. Each Interest Election Notice must specify the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest, if any, and the amount of Interest that shall be paid in Interest Shares. Interest to be paid on an Interest Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares (rounded to the nearest whole share in accordance with Section 3(a)) of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Date less any Cash Interest paid and (b) the Interest Conversion

Price in effect on the applicable Interest Date. If any Interest Shares are to be paid on an Interest Date, then the Company shall (X) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such action is not prohibited by applicable law or regulation or any applicable policy of DTC, credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Date, to the address set forth in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Date, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to pay Interest in Interest Shares and shall be required to pay such Interest in cash as Cash Interest on the applicable Interest Date if, unless consented to in writing by the Holder, during the period commencing on the applicable Interest Notice Due Date through the applicable Interest Date the Equity Conditions have not been satisfied. Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to ten percent (10%). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of Default. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Interest Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of Interest Shares to any Person other than the Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Interest Shares.

3. CONVERSION OF NOTES. This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, $11.50, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). The Conversion Notice shall include notification to the Company of any restriction upon issuances to the Holder pursuant to Section 3(d)(i) hereof of which the Holder is aware. On or before the first (1^st) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent. On or before the second Business Day following the date of confirmed receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a

conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. In the event of a partial conversion of this Note pursuant hereto, the principal amount converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the Installment Dates as set forth in the Conversion Notice.

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s confirmed receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, and (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to

the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 24.

(d) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in the aggregate, including all shares of stock of the Company issued to the Holder in connection with the Transaction Documents, in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB, Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K, as the case may be (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Notes.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Notes and Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, the purchaser of this Note pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchaser”) shall not be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Notes or the Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the Exchange Cap. In the event that the Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of this Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Exchange Cap, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap allocated to such transferee (the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder.

(iii) Cap on Total Shares Issued. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of this Note (excluding any Interest Shares, shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of any of the Warrants and any other shares issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents), exceed 1,968,216 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and like events) (the “Issuance Cap”). The Purchaser of this Note pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of the Notes shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the Issuance Cap. In the event that the Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of this Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Issuance Cap, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Issuance Cap allocated to such transferee (the “Issuance Cap Allocation”). In the event that any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Issuance Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Issuance Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually

issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Issuance Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder.

4. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

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

(i) the failure of the applicable Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or, while the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to any holder of the Notes for sale of all of such holder’s Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of twenty (20) consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any 365-day period (other than days during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement));

(iv) at any time following the tenth (10^th) consecutive Business Day that the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation (as defined below) is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(d) or otherwise);

(x) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days;

Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the sum of the Conversion Amount to be redeemed together with accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Conversion Amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Conversion Amount and Interest and (y) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate with respect to such sum of the Conversion Amount together with accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Conversion Amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Conversion Amount and Interest in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”).

5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder and having similar ranking to the Notes, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (a “Public Successor Entity”). Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall

refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

(b) Redemption Right. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”); provided, that the Holder hereby waives its right not to receive any material non-public information that may be set forth in any such Change of Control Notice. At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date of the consummation of such Change of Control (or, in the event a Change of Control Notice is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) days after the consummation of such Change of Control), the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) 125% of the sum of the Conversion Amount being redeemed together with accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Conversion Amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Conversion Amount and Interest and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) 125% of the sum of the Conversion Amount being redeemed together with accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Conversion Amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Conversion Amount and Interest (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(c) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, the principal amount redeemed shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable Installment Dates as set forth in the Change of Control Redemption Notice.

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

(a) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

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

7. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held

by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP₂ = CP₁ * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) “CP₂” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such Dilutive Issuance;

(ii) “CP₁” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance;

(iii) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of “in-the-money” Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Notes) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor immediately prior to such issue);

(iv) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued in such Dilutive Issuance if shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP₁ (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by CP₁); and

(v) “C” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued in such Dilutive Issuance.

For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options, other than Excluded Securities, and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or

exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

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

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

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10^th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

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

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

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

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

8. COMPANY INSTALLMENT CONVERSION OR REDEMPTION.

(a) General. Beginning on the Initial Maturity Date, on each applicable Installment Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder of this Note the Installment Amount as of such Installment Date by the combination of any of the following, but subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 8, (i) provided that during the period commencing with the Company Installment Notice (as defined below) through the applicable Installment Date, the Equity Conditions have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder), by requiring the conversion of a portion of the applicable Installment Amount, in whole or in part, in accordance with this Section 8 (a “Company Conversion”) and/or (ii) by redeeming the applicable Installment Amount, in whole or in part, in accordance with this Section 8 (a “Company Redemption”); provided that all of the outstanding applicable Installment Amount as of each such Installment Date must be converted and/or redeemed by the Company on the applicable Installment Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not effect a Company Conversion under this Section 8(a), (x) in excess of 15% of the aggregate dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the Principal Market over the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period prior to the applicable Installment Notice Due Date, (y) so long as the Stockholder Approval has not been obtained, for a number of shares in excess of the Maximum Installment Share Number and (z) even if Stockholder Approval has been obtained, in excess of the Issuance Cap. On or prior to the date which is the tenth (10^th) Trading Day prior to each Installment Date (each, an “Installment Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (each, a “Company Installment Notice”), to the Holder which Company Installment Notice shall state (i) the portion, if any, of the applicable Installment Amount which the Company elects to convert pursuant to a Company Conversion, which amount when added to the Company Redemption Amount must equal the applicable Installment Amount (the “Company Conversion Amount”), (ii) the portion, if any, of the applicable Installment Amount which the Company elects to redeem pursuant to a Company Redemption (the “Company Redemption Amount”), which amount when added to the Company Conversion Amount must equal the applicable Installment Amount and (iii) if the Company has elected, in whole or in part, a Company Conversion, then the Company Installment Notice shall certify that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied as of the date of the

Company Installment Notice. Each Company Installment Notice shall be irrevocable. If the Company does not timely deliver a Company Installment Notice in accordance with this Section 8, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable Company Installment Notice electing a Company Conversion and shall be deemed to have certified that the Equity Conditions in connection with any such conversion have been satisfied. Except as expressly provided in this Section 8(a), the Company shall redeem and convert the applicable Installment Amount of this Note pursuant to this Section 8 and the corresponding Installment Amounts of the Other Notes pursuant to the corresponding provisions of the Other Notes in the same ratio of the Installment Amount being redeemed and converted hereunder. The Company Redemption Amount shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 8(b) and the Company Conversion Amount (whether set forth in the Company Installment Notice or by operation of this Section 8) shall be converted in accordance with Section 8(c).

(b) Mechanics of Company Redemption. If the Company elects a Company Redemption in accordance with Section 8(a), then the Company Redemption Amount, if any, which is to be paid to the Holder on the applicable Installment Date shall be redeemed by the Company on such Installment Date, and the Company shall pay to the Holder on such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash (the “Company Installment Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the Company Redemption Amount. If the Company fails to redeem the Company Redemption Amount on the applicable Installment Date by payment of the Company Installment Redemption Price on such date, then at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation, “Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Note), the Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of the Company Redemption Amount at the Company Conversion Price. Conversions required by this Section 8(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(b), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company Installment Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Company Redemption Amount (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event the Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Company Redemption Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable Installment Dates as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice.

(c) Mechanics of Company Conversion. Subject to Section 3(d), if the Company delivers a Company Installment Notice and elects, or is deemed to have elected, in whole or in part, a Company Conversion in accordance with Section 8(a), then the applicable Company Conversion Amount, if any, which remains outstanding shall be converted as of the applicable Installment Date by converting on such Installment Date such Company Conversion Amount at the Company Conversion Price; provided that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) on such Installment Date. If the Equity Conditions are not satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) on such Installment Date, then at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company, the Holder may require the Company to do any one or more of the

following: (i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Company Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “First Redemption Amount”) on such Installment Date and the Company shall pay to the Holder on such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to such First Redemption Amount or (ii) the Company Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Company Conversion Amount and the Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of this Note with respect to such amount of the Company Conversion Amount; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for such unconverted Company Conversion Amount shall thereafter be adjusted to equal the lesser of (A) the Company Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Company Conversion and (B) the Company Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice relating thereto. If the Company fails to redeem any First Redemption Amount on or before the applicable Installment Date by payment of such amount on the applicable Installment Date, then the Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 13(a) as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Company Redemption Price and all other rights under this Note (including, without limitation, such failure constituting an Event of Default described in Section 4(a)(xi)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(c), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers Common Stock representing the Company Conversion Amount to the Holder, the Company Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event that the Holder elects to convert the Company Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable Installment Dates as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice.

(d) Deferred Installment Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8 to the contrary, the Holder may, at its option and in its sole discretion, deliver a notice to the Company at least five (5) Trading Days prior to any applicable Installment Date electing to have all or any portion of the Installment Amount payable on such Installment Date deferred (such amount, the “Deferral Amount”), provided, that such Deferral Amount shall not exceed $7,500,000 in the aggregate. Any notice delivered by the Holder pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall set forth (A) the Deferral Amount and (B) the date such Deferral Amount shall now be payable, which date shall be a date selected by such Holder not to exceed twenty four (24) months from the date of the original Installment Date.

(e) Cancellation of Installment Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8 to the contrary, in the event that the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 150% of the applicable Conversion Price for each of the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Installment Notice Due Date, then the Installment Amount payable on such Installment Date shall be deferred to the Maturity Date.

9. COMPANY’S RIGHT OF MANDATORY CONVERSION.

(a) Mandatory Conversion. If at any time from and after the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) (the “Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date”), (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for each Trading Day of any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period following the applicable Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period”) equals or exceeds either (x) 135% (the “First Conversion Threshold”) or (y) 150% (the “Second Conversion Threshold”) of the Conversion Price on the Closing Date (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions after the Subscription Date) and (ii) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) during the period commencing on the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date through the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (each, as defined below), the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to convert (1) if the First Conversion Threshold has been met, up to the First Conversion Threshold Conversion Amount or (2) if the Second Conversion Threshold has been met, all, but not less than all, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note, in each case as designated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice (as defined below) into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “Mandatory Conversion”). The Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 9(a) by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the end of such Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes and the Transfer Agent (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice” and the date all of the holders received such notice by facsimile is referred to as the “Mandatory Conversion Notice Date”). The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Conversion in accordance with Section 9(a), which Trading Day shall be at least ten (10) Business Days but not more than sixty (60) Business Days following the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), (ii) the aggregate Conversion Amount, including any applicable First Conversion Threshold Conversion Amount, of the Notes subject to mandatory conversion from the Holder and all of the holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 9 (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes), provided, however, that the Company shall not redeem a Conversion Amount under this Section in excess of 20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock over the Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Company may not effect more than one Mandatory Conversion during any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period. Any shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with a Mandatory Conversion hereunder shall be accompanied by any accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Conversion Amount subject to such Mandatory Conversion and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Conversion Amount and Interest.

(b) Pro Rata Conversion Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a conversion of any Conversion Amount of this Note pursuant to Section 9(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to the Other Notes. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory

Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount of this Note required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company has elected a Mandatory Conversion, the mechanics of conversion set forth in Section 3(c) shall apply, to the extent applicable, as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had received from the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date a Conversion Notice with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion.

(c) Additional Warrant Issuance. In the event of any Mandatory Conversion, if the number of Warrant Shares underlying the Class B Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) that become exercisable in the aggregate by virtue of such Mandatory Conversion is less than 60% of quotient of (x) the Conversion Amount of such Mandatory Conversion divided by (y) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each of the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the “Uncovered Mandatory Conversion Shares”), then the Company shall issue to the Holder an additional Class B Warrant exercisable for a number of Warrant Shares (the “Additional Warrant Shares”) equal to the applicable number of Uncovered Mandatory Conversion Shares, which Additional Warrant Shares shall be subject to registration rights identical to the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement with the Additional Warrant Shares being deemed the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder and the “Closing Date” (as used in the Registration Rights Agreement) meaning the issuance date of such additional Class B Warrant.

10. HOLDER’S RIGHTS OF OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) At any time after the Initial Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem up to an amount equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock that is 20% of the aggregate trading volume (as reported by Bloomberg) of the Common Stock over the prior twenty (20) Trading Day period, multiplied by (Y) the Holder Optional Conversion Price (the “Optional Redemption Amount”) by delivering written notice thereof (a “Holder Optional Redemption Notice”) to the Company. The Holder Optional Redemption Notice shall indicate (i) the Optional Redemption Amount and (ii) the date of such redemption (the “Optional Redemption Exercise Date”); provided, however, that such Optional Redemption Exercise Date shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Holder Optional Redemption Notice. The Company shall have the option to redeem the Optional Redemption Amount in cash (a “Holder Optional Cash Redemption”) and/or in Common Stock (a “Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion”). Within one (1) Business Day of the date of the Holder Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall respond (such response, the “Company Optional Redemption Response Notice”) to the Holder Optional Redemption Notice and notify the Holder of (i) the portion, if any, of the applicable Optional Redemption Amount which the Company elects to convert pursuant to a Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion, which amount when added to the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Amount must equal the applicable Optional Redemption Amount (the “Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount”), (ii) the portion, if any, of the applicable

Optional Redemption Amount which the Company elects to redeem pursuant to a Holder Optional Cash Redemption (the “Holder Optional Cash Redemption Amount”), which amount when added to the Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount must equal the applicable Optional Redemption Amount and (iii) if the Company has elected, in whole or in part, a Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion, then the Company Optional Redemption Response Notice shall certify that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied as of the date of the Company Optional Redemption Response Notice. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10 shall be redeemed by the Company on the applicable Optional Redemption Date in either cash at a price equal to the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Amount being redeemed (the “Holder Optional Cash Redemption Price”) or in Common Stock in an amount equal to the Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount.

(b) Mechanics of a Holder Optional Cash Redemption. If the Company elects a Holder Optional Cash Redemption in accordance with Section 10(a), then the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Holder on the applicable Optional Redemption Exercise Date shall be redeemed by the Company on such Optional Redemption Exercise Date, and the Company shall pay to the Holder on such Optional Redemption Exercise Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Price. If the Company fails to redeem the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Amount on the applicable Optional Redemption Exercise Date by payment of the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Price on such date, then at the option of the Holder designated in writing in a Conversion Notice to the Company, the Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Amount at the Holder Optional Conversion Price. Conversions required by this Section 10(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(b), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Amount (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.

(c) Mechanics of a Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion. Subject to Section 3(d), if the Company delivers a Company Optional Redemption Response Notice and elects, or is deemed to have elected, in whole or in part, a Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion in accordance with Section 10(a), then the applicable Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount shall be converted as of the applicable Optional Redemption Exercise Date by converting on such Optional Redemption Exercise Date such Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount at the Holder Optional Conversion Price; provided that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) on such Optional Redemption Exercise Date. If the Equity Conditions are not satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) on such Optional Redemption Exercise Date, then at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company, the Holder may require the Company to do any one or more of the following: (i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “Common Stock Optional Redemption Amount”) on such

Optional Redemption Exercise Date and the Company shall pay to the Holder on such Optional Redemption Exercise Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to such Common Stock Optional Redemption Amount or (ii) the Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount and the Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of this Note with respect to such amount of the Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for such unconverted Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount shall thereafter be adjusted to equal the lesser of (A) the Holder Optional Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion (calculated based on the immediately preceding five (5) consecutive Trading Days) and (B) the Holder Optional Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a Holder Optional Redemption Notice relating thereto. If the Company fails to redeem any Common Stock Optional Redemption Amount on or before the applicable Optional Redemption Exercise Date by payment of such amount on the applicable Optional Redemption Exercise Date, then the Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 13(a) as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Company Redemption Price and all other rights under this Note (including, without limitation, such failure constituting an Event of Default described in Section 4(a)(xi)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(c), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers Common Stock representing the Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount to the Holder, the Holder Optional Common Stock Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.

(d) Asset Sale Triggered Redemption. In the event that after the Issuance Date the Company sells in the aggregate more than $10,000,000 of assets outside the ordinary course of its business as conducted on the Issuance Date (an “Optional Asset Sale Redemption Date”), the Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem (each a “Holder Optional Asset Sale Redemption”) up to all of the Principal amount of the Note plus accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal and Interest (the “Optional Asset Sale Redemption Amount”); provided, that the Optional Asset Sale Redemption Amount shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds received by the Company pursuant to the applicable asset sale(s). The Holder may exercise its redemption rights pursuant to this Section 10(d) by delivering written notice thereof (a “Holder Optional Asset Sale Redemption Notice” and, collectively with the Event of Default Redemption Notice, the Change of Control Redemption Notice and the Holder Optional Redemption Notice, the “Redemption Notices” and each a “Redemption Notice”) to the Company no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the applicable Optional Asset Sale Redemption Date. The Holder Optional Asset Sale Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount of the applicable Optional Asset Sale Redemption Amount the Holder is electing to have redeemed on such Optional Asset Sale Redemption Exercise Date (the “Holder Optional Asset Sale Redemption Amount”) and the date of such redemption (the “Optional Asset Sale Redemption Exercise Date”); provided, however, that such Optional Asset Sale Redemption Exercise Date shall not be less than twenty (20) Business Days after the

date of delivery of such Holder Optional Asset Sale Redemption Notice. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash on the applicable Optional Asset Sale Redemption Date at a price equal to the Holder Optional Asset Sale Redemption Amount being redeemed (the “Holder Optional Asset Sale Redemption Price” and, collectively with the Event of Default Redemption Price, the Change of Control Redemption Price, the Company Installment Redemption Price and the Holder Optional Cash Redemption Price, the “Redemption Prices” and, each a “Redemption Price”).

11. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.

12. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each of the Notes equal to 130% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Note as of the Issuance Date, including the maximum number of Interest Shares that may be issued under each such Note. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, 130% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding pursuant to Sections 2 and 3; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the principal amount of the Notes held by each holder at the Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation.
