Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Borrower (A) shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Lender and the Borrowers designated transfer agent (the Transfer Agent), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein, and (B) on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of such Conversion Notice (or, if earlier, the end of the standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) (the Share Delivery Date), shall credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled to the Lenders or its designees balance account with The Depository Trust Company (DTC) through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled. If notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(c)(vi), the Lender elects to physically surrender this Note for conversion and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after

Accordingly, (A) upon any conversion of this Note, the Rule 144 holding period for the Conversion Shares acquired thereupon shall be in excess of one (1) year, and (B) provided the Lender is not an Affiliate of the Borrower on the Conversion Date and has not been an Affiliate of the Borrower within the three-month period immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the Unrestricted Condition), which the Borrower shall assume and Lender hereby represents unless the Lender advises the Borrower otherwise in writing, the Conversion Shares issued to Lender will be freely transferable, without restriction or limitation (including any volume limitation) under Federal or state securities laws, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and will not contain or be subject to a legend or stop transfer order restricting the resale or transferability of thereof.
(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Borrower shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Lender the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Lender via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Lenders Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Lender and the Borrower are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Borrowers independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. The Borrower shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Borrower and the Lender of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.

(iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon delivery by the Lender of the Conversion Notice, or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute.
(v) Borrowers Failure to Timely Convert.
6
(A) Cash Damages. If by the Share Delivery Date, the Borrower shall fail to credit the Lenders or its designees balance account with DTC with the number of Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend, provided the Unrestricted Condition is satisfied), then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Lender may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Borrower shall pay additional damages to the Lender for each day after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Lender or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Lender is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date. Alternatively in lieu of the foregoing damages, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the written election of the Lender made in the Lenders sole discretion, if, on or after the applicable Conversion Date, the Lender purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Lender of Conversion Shares that such Lender anticipated receiving from the Borrower (such purchased shares, Buy-In Shares), the Borrower shall be obligated to promptly pay to such Lender (in addition to all other available remedies that the Lender may otherwise have), 110% of the amount by which (A) such Lenders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by such Lender from the sale of a number of shares equal to up to the number of Conversion Shares such Lender was entitled to receive but had not received on the Share Delivery Date. If the Borrower fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Lender entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price specified by the Lender in the Conversion Notice.
(B) Conversion Failure. If for any reason the Lender has not received all of the Conversion Shares it is entitled to prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note (a Conversion Failure), then the Lender, upon written notice to the Borrower (a Void Conversion Notice), may void its conversion 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 the Lenders Conversion Notice; provided, that the voiding of the Lenders Conversion Notice shall not affect the Borrowers obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and entitle the Lenders to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or repayment of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless all of the Principal is being converted or repaid. The Lender and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or repaid as aforesaid, the Lender may
7
not transfer this Note unless the Lender first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Lender a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Lender may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Lender and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or repayment of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the Principal Amount stated on the face hereof.
(d) Limitations on Conversions.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not issue to the Lender, and the Lender may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Lender and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Lenders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any group of which the Lender is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of the Warrants or other securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding (the 4.985% Cap); provided, however, that the 4.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an equity security pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, group has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Lender shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Lender, the Borrower shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Lender the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
(ii) Conversion Issuance Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note (including pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) hereof) to the extent that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock together with any previous issuances of shares of Common Stock under this Note would exceed the Conversion Issuance Limit, and Section 2.5(c)(v) shall not apply in respect to any excess amount.
(iii) Other Applicable Limitations on Conversion of the Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Note shall not be convertible, and the Borrower shall not issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note (a) at any time after the First Amortization Date, to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to Lender upon such conversion, together with all shares of Common Stock previously issued to Lender upon conversion of this Note after the First Amortization Date, would exceed the First Amortization Cap, or (b) at any time after the Second Amortization Date, to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to Lender upon such conversion, together with all shares of Common Stock previously issued to Lender upon conversion of this Note after the Second Amortization
8
Date, would exceed the Second Amortization Cap, or (c) during any Monthly Conversion Cap Period, to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to Lender upon such conversion, together with all shares previously issued to Lender upon conversion of this Note during the such Monthly Conversion Cap Period, would exceed the Monthly Conversion Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued as set forth in an Conversion Notice transmitted by the Lender to the Borrower would otherwise require the Borrower to issue a number of shares in excess of the Conversion Issuance Limit, the First Amortization Cap (if after the First Amortization Date), the Second Amortization Cap (if after the Second Amortization Date) or the Monthly Share Cap, the Borrower shall issue to the Lender in accordance herewith the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable without exceeding any such applicable limitation, and Section 2.5(c)(v) shall not apply to any excess amount.
3. Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Lender shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).
4. Amendment; Waiver. The provisions of this Note may only be waived or amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the Facility Agreement.
5. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Borrower and all Lenders pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.
6. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude the full exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No renewal or extension of this Note or the Facility Agreement, no delay in the enforcement of payment under this Note or the Facility Agreement, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or power under this Note or the Facility Agreement shall affect the liability of the Borrower or any endorser of this Note.
