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; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock to any Person other than the Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Common Stock issued upon 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 City 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, (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 reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and (C) pay any transfer taxes or other applicable taxes or duties, if any, required in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Person other than the Holder. On or before the first Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company 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 third Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) 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, or (Y) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such shares of Common Stock do not require the placement of any legends restricting transfer of such shares of Common Stock, upon the request of the Holder, 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. 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 Business Days after receipt of this Note (the “Note Delivery Date”) 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.

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail to issue 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 conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion Failure”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages to the Holder for each date of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.0% of the

product of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise.

(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 physical surrender and reissue of this Note. 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, 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 or Separate 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 or Separate Notes electing to have Notes or Separate Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes or Separate Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes and Separate Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes and Separate 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.

(v) Application of Conversion Amounts. Subject to Section 8(b), any Conversion Amount which the Holder elects to convert in accordance with this Section 3 (other than pursuant to Company Conversions) shall be deducted first from the Installment Amount relating to the latest Installment Date (i.e., nearest to the Maturity Date) with respect to which Installment Amounts remain outstanding and then sequentially from the Installment Amounts relating to the immediately preceding Installment Dates.

(vi) Holder Status. Except as specifically provided in this Note, the Holder shall not

be entitled to any rights relating to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes until the Holder has converted this Note into Common Stock.

(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), Section 8 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Conversion Notice, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% 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, Separate 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 (the “1934 Act”). 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-Q or Form 10-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. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days 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.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note, whether pursuant to this Section 3, Section 8 or otherwise, if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Principal Market 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 holders of the Notes representing a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of the Notes pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchasers”) shall be issued, upon conversion of Notes held by such Purchaser, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Principal Market Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the “Principal Market Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Principal Market Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Principal Market Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. 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 Principal Market Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Principal Market Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Principal Market 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 any 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 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 10 consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of 30 days in any 365-day period (other than days during an Allowable

Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement));

(ii) the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on the Principal Market or the NYSE for a period of five consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of 10 days in any 365-day period;

(iv) at any time following the tenth consecutive Business Day that the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation 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);

(v) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest, Late Charges or other amounts when and as due under this Note (including, without limitation, the Company’s failure to pay any redemption payments or amounts hereunder), or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which the Holder is a party, except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest and Late Charges when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period of at least five Business Days;

(ix) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $1,000,000 are rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within 60 days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within 60 days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $1,000,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within 60 days of the issuance of such judgment;

(x) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of this Note, any Other Note or any Separate Note, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby to which the Holder is a party, except, other than in connection with a breach of Section 31 hereof, (A) to the extent that such breach would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 3(a) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (B) in the case of a breach of a covenant which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least five 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 Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (y) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate with respect to such Conversion Amount 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”). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.

(5) RIGHTS UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a) Change of Control. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Change of Control”:

(ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

(iii) a purchase, tender or exchange consummated pursuant to an offer made to and accepted by a sufficient number of holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock such that after consummation of such purchase, tender or exchange, the Person or group of Persons proposing such purchase, tender or exchange beneficially own 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock.

No sooner than 15 days nor later than 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”).

(b) Assumption. Prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, the Company will secure from any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Stock or any successor resulting from such Change of Control (in each case, an “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding) to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes, a security of the Acquiring 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 satisfactory to the holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

(c) Holder Redemption Right.

The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding consummation of such Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) 120% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall have priority to payments by the Company or the Acquiring Entity, as applicable, to the stockholders of the Company in connection with a Change of Control.

(d) Company Redemption Right. At any time from and after the delivery of a Change of Control Notice but not later than the day immediately preceding the consummation of such Change of Control, the Company at its option may deliver a written notice via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder indicating that if the Company shall not receive from the Holder a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(c),

then the Company is electing to redeem all or any portion of the Principal of this Note, all Other Notes and all Separate Notes (an “Company Change of Control Redemption Notice”). The Company Change of Control Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. If the Company shall not receive from the Holder a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6(c) and if the Conditions to Company Change of Control Redemption (as set forth below) are satisfied or waived in writing by the Holder, then the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to submit for redemption all or any such portion of the Principal of this Note designated in the Company Change of Control Redemption Notice in exchange for (i) an amount in cash, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to the sum of (A) 120% of the Principal of this Note being redeemed pursuant to this Section 5(d), plus (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal plus (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal and (ii) delivery of the Change of Control Warrants to the Holder, duly executed and authorized by the Acquiring Entity (the “Company Change of Control Redemption Price”). “Conditions to Company Change of Control Redemption” means the following conditions: (i) on each day during the period beginning on the date of delivery of the Company Change of Control Redemption Notice to each holder of the Notes and Separate Notes and ending on and including the date immediately preceding the Company Change of Control Redemption Date, no Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall be in effect and either (x) the Registration Statement or Registration Statements required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be effective and available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (and analogous provisions with respect to the Separate Notes) or (y) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Separate Notes shall be eligible for sale without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) and the state securities laws; (ii) the Company shall have no knowledge of any fact that would cause (x) the Registration Statements required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement not to be effective and available for the resale of at least all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (and analogous provisions with respect to the Separate Notes) or (y) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Notes and Separate Notes not to be eligible for sale without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) and any applicable state securities laws; (iii) on each day during the period beginning on the date of delivery of the Company Change of Control Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date immediately preceding the Company Change of Control Redemption Date, the Common Stock is designated for quotation on the Principal Market or the NYSE and shall not have been suspended from trading on such exchange or market nor shall delisting or suspension by such market or exchange been threatened or pending either (A) in writing by such market or exchange or (B) by falling below the minimum listing maintenance requirements of such market or exchange; (iv) during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on and including the date immediately preceding the Company Change of Control Redemption Date, the Company shall have delivered shares of Common Stock upon any conversion of Conversion Amounts on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3(c)(i) of this Note (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes and Separate Notes); and (v) the Company otherwise shall have been in material compliance with and shall not have

breached, in any material respect, any provision, covenant, representation or warranty of this Note, any of the Other Notes, and Separate Notes or any other Transaction Document.

(e) Pro Rata Company Change of Control Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a redemption of all or any portion of the Principal of this Note pursuant to Section 5(d), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all Other Notes. If the Company elects to cause the redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 5(d) (or analogous provisions under all Other Notes) with respect to less than the aggregate Principal of the Notes then outstanding, then the Company shall require redemption of Principal from each of the holders of the Notes equal to the product of (i) the aggregate Principal amount of Notes which the Company has elected to cause to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5(d), multiplied by (ii) the fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the aggregate Principal amount of the Notes initially purchased by such holder on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate Principal amount of the Notes purchased by all holders on the Issuance Date (such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its “Change of Control Allocation Percentage,” and such amount with respect to each holder is referred to as its “Pro Rata Change of Control Redemption Amount”). In the event that the initial holder of any Notes shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Change of Control Allocation Percentage. The Company Change of Control Redemption Notice shall state (i) the date selected for the redemption in accordance with Section 5(d), which date shall be the date of consummation of the Change of Control, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which the Company has elected to redeem from all of the holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 5(d) (and analogous provisions under all Other Notes) and (iii) each holder’s Pro Rata Change of Control Redemption Amount of the aggregate Principal amount of the Notes that the Company has elected to redeem pursuant to Section 5(d) (and analogous provisions under all Other Notes). All Principal of this Note redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 5(d) shall be deducted first from the Installment Amount relating to the latest Installment Date (i.e., nearest to the Maturity Date) with respect to which Installment Amounts remain outstanding and then sequentially from the Installment Amounts relating to the immediately preceding Installment Dates. Redemptions under Section 5(d) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Pro Rata Change of Control 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.

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

(a) Company 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

“Company Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Company Purchase Rights, the aggregate Company 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 Company 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 Company Purchase Rights.

(b) Other Corporate Events. Prior to the consummation of any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger, spin-off or other business combination (other than a Change of Control) pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for 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 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 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 holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

(7) ADJUSTMENT OF FIXED CONVERSION PRICE.

(a) Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time 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 Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time 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 Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(b) Other Considerations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by the Company in good faith.

(8) COMPANY INSTALLMENT CONVERSION OR REDEMPTION.

(a) General. On each 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) requiring the conversion of a portion of the applicable Installment Amount, in whole or in part, in accordance with this Section 8 but subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions to Company Conversion (as defined below) (a “Company Conversion”) and/or (ii) 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. On or prior to the date which is at least 21 Trading Days prior to each Installment Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder (each, a “Company Installment Notice”), 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 (iv) if the Company has elected, in whole or in part, a Company Conversion, then the Company Installment Notice shall certify that the Conditions to Company Conversion are satisfied as of the date of the Company Installment Notice. If the Company does not deliver a Company Installment Notice in accordance with this Section 8(a), then the “Company Redemption Amount” and the “Company Conversion Amount” with respect to such Installment Date shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Holder shall designate in writing to the Company in its sole discretion and the Company shall be deemed to have delivered a Company Installment Notice setting forth such amounts. Each Company Installment Notice shall be irrevocable. 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 (whether set forth in the Company Installment Notice or by operation of this Section 8) shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 8(b) and the Company Conversion Amount shall be converted in accordance with Section 8(c).

(b) Mechanics of Company Redemption. If the Company elects, or is deemed to have elected, 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 (provided that the Holder has provided the Company with written wire transfer instructions not later than the second Business Day immediately preceding the Installment Date), an amount in

cash (the “Company Installment Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of 100% of the Company Redemption Amount. 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.

(c) Mechanics of Company Conversion. Subject to Sections 3(d) and 8(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 as if the Holder had delivered a Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 3 with respect to such Company Conversion Amount on such Installment Date but without the Holder being required to actually deliver such Conversion Notice; provided that the Conditions to Company Conversion are satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) on such Installment Date. If the Conditions to Company Conversion 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 (provided that the Holder has provided the Company with written wire transfer instructions not later than the second Business Day immediately preceding the Installment Date), 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. If the Company fails to redeem any First Redemption Amount on 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 10(b) 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)(xii)). In the event the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to the Company after the earlier of the date which is 10 days prior to the applicable Installment Date and the Holder’s receipt of the Company Installment Notice in respect of such Installment Date in which the Company elects or is deemed to have elected a Company Redemption, the Principal amount specified in such Conversion Notice shall be deducted (1) first, from the Principal represented by the Company Redemption Amount and then (2) second, in accordance with Section 3(c)(v).

(d) Conditions to Company Conversion. For purposes of this Section 8, “Conditions to Company Conversion” means (i) during the period beginning on the Issuance

Date and ending on and including the applicable Installment Date, the Company shall have delivered shares of Common Stock upon any conversion of Conversion Amounts on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3(c)(i) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes and Separate Notes); (ii) on each day during the period beginning on the first Trading Day of the Company Total Dollar Trading Volume Measuring Period in respect of any Installment Date and ending on and including the applicable Installment Date, the Common Stock shall be listed on the Principal Market or the NYSE and delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by such market or exchange shall not have been threatened either (A) in writing by such market or exchange or (B) by falling below the minimum listing maintenance requirements of such market or exchange for the Common Stock; (iii) during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on and including the applicable Installment Date, there shall not have occurred either (x) the public announcement of a pending, proposed or intended Change of Control which has not been abandoned, terminated or consummated or (y) an Event of Default; (iv) during the period beginning on the date which is the first Trading Day of the Company Total Dollar Trading Volume Measuring Period and ending on and including the applicable Installment Date, there shall not have occurred an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice, and assuming it were not cured, would constitute an Event of Default; (v) on each day of the period beginning on the date of delivery of an Installment Notice with respect to an Installment Date and ending on the applicable Installment Date either (x) the Registration Statement or Registration Statements required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be effective and available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (and analogous provisions under the Separate Notes) or (y) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Separate Notes shall be eligible for sale without restriction (other than any restriction arising under applicable federal or state securities laws as a result of the holder of such securities being an Affiliate of the Company) and without the need for registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vi) on each day of the period beginning on the applicable Installment Date and ending thirty Trading Days thereafter either (x) the Registration Statements required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be expected to be effective and available for the resale of at least all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (and analogous provisions under the Separate Notes) or (y) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Separate Notes shall be eligible for sale without restriction (other than any restriction arising under applicable federal or state securities laws as a result of the holder of such securities being an Affiliate of the Company) and without the need for registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) the Company shall have obtained the Stockholder Approval prior to the date of delivery of the Company Installment Notice; and (viii) the Company otherwise shall have been in material compliance with and shall not have breached, in any material respect, any provision, covenant, representation or warranty of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Amended and Restated Securities Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Cash Collateral Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or any of the Notes or

Separate Notes.

(e) Limitation on Company Conversion Amounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be required to remit by way of a Company Conversion the portion of any Installment Amount elected to be paid by Company Conversion that exceeds the Company Total Dollar Trading Volume during the Company Total Dollar Trading Volume Measuring Period applicable to such Installment Date; provided, however, that, the Company may, by so designating in the applicable Company Installment Notice, elect to extend the Company Total Dollar Trading Volume Measuring Period until the Conversion Amount may be paid to the Holder without violating this Section 8(e), but in no event may such period be extended past the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Installment Date. In the event the Company does not remit any portion of the Installment Amount in the form of a Company Conversion by virtue of this Section 8(e), such amounts shall be paid in cash in accordance with Section 8(b).

(f) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 8, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Company Conversion Price” means, as of any date of determination, that price which shall be computed as 90% of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on any fifteen Trading Days designated by the Holder of this Note to the Company during the period commencing on the twentieth (20^th) Trading Day immediately preceding such date and ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding such date. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or other similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock during such period.

(ii) “Company Total Dollar Trading Volume” means, with respect to an Installment Date, the product derived by multiplying (A) the aggregate dollar amount of the trading volume of shares of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg, during all Trading Days during the Company Total Dollar Trading Volume Measuring Period by (B) .15.

(iii) “Company Total Dollar Trading Volume Measuring Period” means, with respect to an Installment Date, the period commencing on and including the thirty-first (31^st) Trading Day immediately preceding the date of delivery of the Company Installment Notice in respect of such Installment Date and ending on and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of delivery of the Company Installment Notice in respect of such Installment Date.

(iv) “Installment Amount” means, with respect to any Installment Date, the lesser of (A) the quotient of (x) the original Principal amount of this Note on the Issuance Date divided by (y) 4, and (B) the Principal amount under this Note as of the

Installment Date. In the event the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any portion of this Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Installment Amount.

(v) “Installment Date” means each of March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004.

(9) COMPANY’S RIGHT OF OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. (a) Optional Redemption. At any time from and after the first anniversary of the date on which a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC, and if the Conditions to Optional Redemption (as set forth in Section 9(c)) are satisfied or waived in writing by the Holder, the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to submit for redemption all or any such portion of the Principal of this Note designated in the Optional Redemption Notice for an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) 120% of the Principal of this Note being redeemed pursuant to this Section 9, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal being redeemed plus (iii) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal being redeemed (the “Optional Redemption Price”). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 9(a) by delivering on the twentieth Trading Date prior to the date on which the Optional Redemption will be effected (the “Optional Redemption Date”; with the twenty Trading Day period between delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice (as defined below) and the Optional Redemption Date being referred to as the “Optional Redemption Measuring Period”) a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes (the “Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders received such notice is referred to as the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

(b) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a redemption of all or any portion of the Principal of this Note pursuant to Section 9(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all Other Notes. If the Company elects to cause the redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 9(a) (or analogous provisions under all Other Notes) with respect to less than the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (ignoring for such purposes all principal amounts that are part of Installment Amounts with respect to which the Company has delivered a Company Installment Notice prior to the Optional Redemption Notice Date or the analogous provisions under the Other Notes), then the Company shall require redemption of a principal amount from each of the holders of the Notes equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the Company has elected to cause to be converted pursuant to Section 9(a), multiplied by (ii) the fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes initially purchased by such holder on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes purchased by all holders on the Issuance Date (such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its “Allocation Percentage,” and such amount with

respect to each holder is referred to as its “Pro Rata Redemption Amount”). In the event that the initial holder of any Notes shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Allocation Percentage. The Optional Redemption Notice shall state (A) the date selected for the optional redemption in accordance with Section 9(a), which date shall be the twentieth (20^th) Business Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date, (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which the Company has elected to redeem from all of the holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 9 (and analogous provisions under all Other Notes) and (C) each holder’s Pro Rata Redemption Amount of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that the Company has elected to redeem pursuant to this Section 9 (and analogous provisions under all Other Notes). All Principal of this Note redeemed by the Company pursuant to this Section 9 shall be deducted first from the Installment Amount relating to the latest Installment Date (i.e., nearest to the Maturity Date) with respect to which Installment Amounts remain outstanding and then sequentially from the Installment Amounts relating to the immediately preceding Installment Dates. Redemptions under this Section 9(a) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Optional Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Pro Rata 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) Conditions to Optional Redemption. For purposes of this Section 9, “Conditions to Optional Redemption” means the following conditions: (i) during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on and including the Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall have delivered shares of Common Stock upon any conversion of Conversion Amounts on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3(c)(i) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes and Separate Notes); (ii) on each day during the period beginning on the first Trading Day of the Optional Redemption Measuring Period and ending on and including the Optional Redemption Date, the Common Stock shall be listed on the Principal Market or the NYSE and delisting or suspension by such market or exchange shall not have been threatened either (A) in writing by such market or exchange or (B) by falling below the minimum listing maintenance requirements of such market or exchange; (iii) during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on and including the Optional Redemption Date, there shall not have occurred either (x) the public announcement of a pending, proposed or intended Change of Control which has not been abandoned, terminated or consummated or (y) an Event of Default; (iv) during the period beginning on the date which is the first Trading Day of the Optional Redemption Measuring Period and ending on and including the Optional Redemption Date, there shall not have occurred an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice, and assuming it were not cured, would constitute an Event of Default; (v) on each day of the period beginning on the date of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice and ending on the Optional Redemption Date either (x) the Registration Statement or Registration Statements required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be effective and available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights

Agreement (and analogous provisions under the Separate Notes) or (y) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Separate Notes shall be eligible for sale without restriction and without the need for registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws, (vi) if less than all of the principal amounts under this Note and all Other Notes is being redeemed by the Company pursuant to this Section 9(a), on each day of the period beginning on the Optional Redemption Date and ending thirty Trading Days thereafter either (x) the Registration Statements required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be expected to be effective and available for the resale of at least all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (and analogous provisions under the Separate Notes) or (y) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Separate Notes shall be eligible for sale without restriction and without the need for registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws, (vii) the Company shall have obtained the Stockholder Approval prior to the Optional Redemption Notice Date and (viii) the Company otherwise shall have been in material compliance with and shall not have breached, in any material respect, any provision, covenant, representation or warranty of this Note or any of the Other Notes or Separate Notes or any other Transaction Document.

(10) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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.

(11) 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. Thereafter, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, 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, 110% 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; 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 on the Issuance Date 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. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any

Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 75 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.

(12) HOLDER’S REDEMPTIONS.

(a) Mechanics. In the event that the Holder has sent a Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) or Section 5(c) or the Company has sent a Redemption Notice to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(d) or Section 9, the Holder shall promptly submit this Note to the Company in accordance with this Section 12. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within five Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice and thereafter the Holder shall promptly deliver this Note to the Company. If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(c) or the Company has submitted a Company Change of Control Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Change of Control Redemption Price or Company Change of Control Redemption Price, as applicable, concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such Change of Control Redemption Notice is received by the Company prior to the consummation of such Change of Control (or such Company Change of Control Redemption Notice is delivered by the Company in accordance with Section 5(d)) and within five Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Change of Control Redemption Notice otherwise (the “Company Change of Control Redemption Date”). The Company shall deliver the applicable Optional Redemption Price to the Holder on the Optional Redemption Date and thereafter the Holder shall promptly deliver this Note to the Company. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time

thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (w) the Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, (x) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) to the Holder representing such Conversion Amount and (y) the Fixed Conversion Price of this Note or such new Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Fixed Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Redemption Notice is voided and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on and including the date on which the Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on which the Redemption Notice is voided. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.

(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of Other Notes or Separate Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section 5(c) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately forward to the Holder by facsimile a copy of such notice.
