When executed and delivered, each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(b) Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.3(a)(i) through (iv)), then and in every such case the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal and all other amounts outstanding pursuant to all of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company, and upon any such declaration such principal shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified Section 6.3(a)(i) through (iv) with respect to Notes at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Holder of any Note may declare the principal of such Note to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company, and upon any such declaration such principal shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.3(a)(ix) or 6.3(a)(x) occurs, the principal of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration by majority Holders of acceleration with respect to Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i)

the Company has paid a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue installments of interest on all Outstanding Notes,

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Notes that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Outstanding Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Outstanding Notes, and

(ii) all Events of Default with respect to Notes, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Agreement.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(i) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 5 days, or

(ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at its Maturity,

then the Company will pay, upon demand of the Holder of such Note, the whole amount then due and payable on such Note for principal (and premium, if any), interest and such other amounts due under the Note, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Note, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Holder, in its own name, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes occurs and is continuing, any Holder of the Notes may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Holder shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

(d) Limitation on Suits. No Holder shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders, and each Holder, by taking possession and title to the Notes, expressly agrees to the foregoing.

(e) Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, If Any, and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, including the Redemption Price, and interest on such Note on the respective due dates expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase, on the Redemption Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be) and to convert such Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

(f) Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If any Holder of a Note has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Holder, then and in every such case, the Company, the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

(g) Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

(h) Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holders.

(i) Control by Holders of Notes. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Holders or exercising any powers conferred on the Holders with respect to the Notes; provided that:

(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Agreement,

(ii) such action shall not be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Notes not joining therein.

(j) Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder with respect to such Notes and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default:

(i) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note,

(ii) in respect of the conversion by the Company of any Note into Common Stock,

(iii)

in the payment of the Redemption Price,

(iv)

in the payment of the Repurchase Price, or

(v) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under this Agreement cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

6.4 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

6.5 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Agreement agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant.

6.6 Payment of Principal, Premium, If Any, and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on, and the Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes in accordance with the

terms of the Notes and this Agreement. At the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder of the Note or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such Notes. The conversion of any Notes pursuant to this Agreement, together with any cash payments required to be made in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement, will satisfy the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.6 with respect to such Notes.

6.7 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain a place of payment for the Notes in The City of New York, an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, conversion, redemption or repurchase, where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Agreement may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Holders of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency.

The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Holders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

6.8 Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. The Company shall on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided.

Any money held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Note, without interest thereon.

6.9 Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of the Company and the Subsidiary, and their respective rights (charter and statutory) and franchises, except to the extent that the Board shall determine that the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Board shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

6.10 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all Taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or the Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company

or the Subsidiary, and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or the Subsidiary and have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such Tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

6.11 Transfer of Securities. Each Purchaser agrees severally (as to itself only) and not jointly that it shall not sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, except (a) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) to an Affiliate (so long as such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if, and to the fullest extent as, such Purchaser), or (c) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act (including sales permitted pursuant to Rule 144) and applicable state securities laws and, if requested by the Company, upon delivery by such Purchaser of either an opinion of counsel of such Purchaser reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from or does not require registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or a representation letter of such Purchaser reasonably satisfactory to the Company setting forth a factual basis for concluding that such proposed transfer is exempt from or does not require registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Any transfer or purported transfer of the Notes in violation of this Section 6.11 shall be void. The Company shall not register any transfer of the Notes in violation of this Section 6.11. The Company may, and may instruct any transfer agent for the Company, to place such stop transfer orders as may be required on the transfer books of the Company in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.11.

The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 6.12(b), it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants or Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants or Warrant Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends; provided that in the case of removal of the legend for reasons set forth in clause (ii) above, the holder of such Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants or Warrant Shares has submitted a written request to the Company for removal of the legend indicating that the holder has complied with the applicable provisions of Rule 144. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

Except to the extent required by applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange requirements, neither (a) the Company, the Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates nor (b) any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall, without the written consent of the other, make any public announcement or issue any press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In no event will either (a) the Company, the Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates or (b) any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates make any public announcement or issue any press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without consulting with the other party and giving the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and, to the extent such party is specially named in such announcement or press release, approve, the content of such public announcement or press release.

Except as required by law, the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall not provide any Purchaser with any material non-public information regarding the Company or the Subsidiary at any time after the Closing, except such information as may be required to be disclosed to certain Board members, who are affiliated with certain Purchasers, in their capacity as directors of the Company. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant following the Closing Date, or in the event that Company is legally required to make certain disclosures to any Purchaser (and does so) following the Closing Date, then in addition to any other remedy provided for herein, in the Transaction Documents or in equity or at law, each Purchaser to whom information has been disclosed (whether as a result of breach or as required by law) may request, in writing, that the Company promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the date of such writing) publicly disclose, by press release, SEC filing, or otherwise, an appropriate summary of the information that, in such Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, constitutes the then material non-public information. After such five (5) Business-Day period, the Purchaser(s) who was or were in receipt of such material non-public information shall be automatically authorized to make all of the information, or any portion thereof, available to the public generally, without incurring any liability to the Company for such disclosure.

6.16 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Notes in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Notes or the issuance of the Warrants or the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to the Purchasers.

6.22 Expenses. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable and actual fees and expenses of the Holders, which shall include fees and expenses of not more than one legal counsel to the Holders, incurred in connection with any Event of Default hereunder by the Company, any enforcement or collection proceedings brought by the Holders by the Company, or any bankruptcy proceeding of the Company, including any fees and expenses of an agent to act on behalf of such Holders who may be appointed at the time of such event.

INDEMNIFICATION.

7.1 By the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, judgments, assessments, fines, settlements, costs or expenses (including interest, penalties and reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) (collectively, “Losses”) based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or in the Transaction Documents, or for any Losses claimed by Tejas or any other broker or placement agent based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or in the Transaction Documents.

7.2 Claims. All claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be made as follows:

(a) If a Purchaser Indemnitee has incurred or suffered Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7, then such Purchaser Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the Company. Each Claim Notice shall state the amount of claimed Losses (the “Claimed Amount”), if known, and the basis for such claim.

(b) Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall provide to each Purchaser Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”), a

written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, (ii) agree that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnified Party, or (iii) contest that any of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party may contest the payment of all or a portion of the Claimed Amount only based upon a good faith belief that all or such portion of the Claimed Amount does not constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7. If no Response Notice is delivered by the Indemnifying Party within such 30-day period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party in the Response Notice agrees (or is deemed to have agreed) that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall owe to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Claimed Amount to be paid in the manner set forth in this Section 7. If the Indemnifying Party in the Response Notice agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall owe to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the agreed amount set forth in such Response Notice to be paid in the manner set forth in this Section 7. The parties agree that the foregoing shall not be deemed to provide that the Indemnifying Party is entitled to make a binding determination regarding any disputed amounts owed to an Indemnified Party, unless such Indemnified Party accepts and agrees to such determination, and both the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall retain all rights and remedies available to such party hereunder.

(d) No delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any actual prejudice caused by or arising out of such delay.

7.3 Payment of Claims. An Indemnifying Party shall make payment of any portion of any Claimed Amount that such Indemnifying Party has agreed in a Response Notice that it owes to an Indemnified Party, or that such Indemnifying Party is deemed to have agreed it owes to such Indemnifying Party, said payment to be made within thirty (30) days after such Response Notice is delivered by such Indemnifying Party or should have been delivered by such Indemnifying Party, as the case may be.

7.4 Applicability; Exclusivity. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary in this Section 7, the indemnification and contribution provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement shall govern any claim made with respect to registration statements filed pursuant thereto or sales made thereunder. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that in addition to remedies of the parties hereto in respect of any and all claims relating to any breach or purported breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is contained in this Agreement pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Section 7, all parties shall always retain the right to pursue and obtain injunctive relief in addition to any other rights or remedies hereunder.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES.

8.1 Provisional and Optional Redemption by the Company. (a) The Notes may be redeemed at the election of the Company, as a whole or from time to time in part, at any time on and after September 1, 2008 but prior to September 1, 2009 (a “Provisional Redemption”), upon notice by the Company to the Holders at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (such amount, the “Provisional Redemption Price”), to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Provisional Redemption Date”) if (i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock has exceeded 200% of the Conversion Price (as defined hereinafter and as such may be adjusted from time to time) then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day prior to the date of mailing of the provisional notice of redemption (the “Notice Date”), (ii) during each such 20 Trading Days, the trading volume is not less than 250,000 shares, and (iii) a registration statement covering resales of the Notes and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof is effective and available for use and is expected to remain effective for the 30 days following the Provisional Redemption Date.

(b) The Notes may be redeemed at the election of the Company, as a whole or from time to time in part, at any time on or after September 1, 2009, and prior to maturity (an “Optional Redemption”), upon notice by the Company to the Holders, at the following optional redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest, if any (the “Optional Redemption Price” and, together with the Provisional Redemption Price, the “Redemption Price”), up to but not including the date fixed for redemption (the “Optional Redemption Date” and, together with the Provisional Redemption Date, the “Redemption Date”), if redeemed during the periods described below:

Period	Redemption Price
Sep. 1, 2009 – Aug. 31, 2010:	110%
Sep. 1, 2010 – Aug. 31, 2011:	108%
Sep. 1, 2011 – Aug. 31, 2012:	106%
Sep. 1, 2012 – repayment:	103%

8.2 Election to Redeem; Notice to Holders. The election of the Company to redeem any Notes shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of all or any part of the Securities pursuant to Section 8.1 (Provisional Redemption or Optional Redemption), the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Provisional Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, notify the Holders of the Provisional Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Notes prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Notes or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company shall furnish the Holders with an certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company evidencing compliance with such restriction.

8.3 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the Provisional Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, by the Company, from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of all Notes then outstanding.

If any Note selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected; the converted portion of such Note shall be deemed, solely for purposes of determining the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, to be the portion selected for redemption (provided, however, that the Holder of such Note so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such Note). Notes that have been converted during a selection of Notes to be redeemed may be treated by the Company as Outstanding Notes for the purpose of such selection.

Notes in denominations of $1,000 may only be redeemed in whole. The Company may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any multiple thereof) of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000. Provisions of this Agreement that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

For all purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

8.4

8.6 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to bear interest.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price, shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Note and such Note shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the Redemption Price, and any such accrued interest, shall have been paid or duly provided for.

8.7 Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Note that is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8) shall be surrendered at a place of payment therefor (with, if the Company so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDERS UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL.

9.1 Right to Require Repurchase. In the event that a Change in Control shall occur, each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 (provided that no single Note may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the principal amount of such Notes to be outstanding after such repurchase is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000), on the date (the “Repurchase Date”) that is not later than 45 Business Days after the date of the occurrence of a Change in Control, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus interest accrued and unpaid to the Repurchase Date (the “Repurchase Price”).

(b) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder must deliver to the Company at an office maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Repurchase Date written notice of the Holder’s exercise of such right (the “Change in Control Purchase Notice”), which notice shall set forth (i) the name of the Holder, (ii) the certificate numbers of the Notes with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised, (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased (and, if any Note is to be repurchased in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased, which shall be an integral multiples of $1,000) and (iv) a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes.

On the Repurchase Date, the Company shall repurchase all such Notes validly tendered prior to such date.

In the event that a Holder has previously delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice, but failed to tender the Note with respect to which such Change in Control Purchase Notice relates, then so long as the Company holds money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price in respect thereof such Note shall cease to be an Outstanding Note for the purposes of this Agreement and all rights of the Holder thereof, other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price together with any accrued interest thereon, shall terminate.

(d) If any Note (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the Repurchase Price in respect of such Note shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repurchase Date at the rate borne by the Note and such Note shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the Repurchase Price and any such accrued interest shall have been paid or duly provided for.

The notice of withdrawal shall state the principal amount and the certificate numbers of the Notes as to which the withdrawal notice relates and the principal amount, if any, that remains subject to the notice of exercise of a repurchase right.

(a) the terms “beneficial owner” and “beneficial ownership” shall be determined in accordance with Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, except that a Person shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such Person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time; and

(b) a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time after the original issuance of the Notes as:

(i) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge with or into another Person or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, or any Person, consolidates with or merges with or into the Company, in any event pursuant to a transaction in which the Company’s outstanding voting stock is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transactions where:

(A) the Company’s voting stock is not converted or exchanged at all (except to the extent necessary to reflect a change in the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation) or is converted into or exchanged for voting stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) of the surviving or transferee corporation, and

(B) immediately after such transaction, no “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the total outstanding voting stock of the surviving or transferee corporation;

(ii) during any consecutive two-year period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (together with any new directors whose election to such Board, or whose nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period of whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board then in office;

(iii) a special resolution is passed by the Company’s stockholders approving the plan of liquidation or dissolution.

(c) “Redeemable Capital Stock” means any class or series of capital stock that, either by its terms, by the terms of any security into which it is convertible or exchangeable or by contract or otherwise, is, or upon the happening of an event or passage of time would be, required to be redeemed prior

10.

CONVERSION.

10.1 Conversion Privilege, Conversion Rate and Conversion Price. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 10, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Note or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at any time after the date hereof through the close of business on September 1, 2013 into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate then in effect by each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion. In case a Note or portion thereof has previously been called for redemption at the election of the Company, such conversion right in respect of the Note or portion so called shall expire at the close of business, New York City time, on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. A Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice (as defined in Article 10 hereof) exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such notice and the Note is withdrawn by a written notice of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to the Company prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the “Conversion Price”) shall be initially $2.00 per share of Common Stock, which is equal to a conversion rate of 500 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities (the “Conversion Rate”). The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances and, in every instance in which an adjustment is made to the Conversion Rate, a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes will be convertible into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion will result in the Holder (together with its Affiliates) owning, holding or beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Common Stock (the “Ownership Limit”), and at any time, and from time to time, if the Holder (together with its Affiliates) owns, holds or beneficially owns a percentage less than the Ownership Limit, then such Notes shall then be convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 10 to the extent that it would not result in the Holder (together with its Affiliates) owning, holding or beneficially owning more than the Ownership Limit.

10.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Note, the Holder of any Note to be converted shall surrender such Note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, accompanied by (a) written notice to the Company stating that the Holder elects to convert such Note or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted, (b) the funds, if any, required by this Section, and (c) if Common Stock or any portion of such Note not to be

converted are to be issued in the name of a Person other than the Holder thereof, the name of the Person in which to issue such Common Stock or portion of the Note and the transfer taxes, if any, required to be paid by the Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

As promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, the Company shall issue and shall deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Note or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section and a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in Section 10.3. In case any Note of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 2, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 10.2 have been satisfied as to such Note (or portion thereof), and the Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided however that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such Note shall be surrendered.

Any Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on the record date for any interest payment date to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the following interest payment date that has not been called for redemption during such period, shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being converted; provided however that no such payment need be made to the extent any overdue interest shall exist at the time of conversion with respect to any such Note or portion thereof. Except as provided above in this Section 10.2, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for interest accrued on any Note converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Note as provided in this Section 10.

10.3 Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Note (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock at the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding such day.

“Trading Day” shall mean each day on which the primary securities exchange or quotation system that is used to determine the Closing Price is open for trading or quotation.

“Closing Price” of a single share of Common Stock on any Trading Day shall mean the closing sale price per share for the Common Stock (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices) on such Trading Day on the principal United States national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a United States national stock exchange, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System.

10.4 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. (a) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day next following such dividend or other distribution or the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be adjusted so that a Holder upon conversion will be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock it would have been entitled to after such dividend or other distribution if it had converted its Note immediately prior to such dividend or other distribution.

(b) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue to all holders of its Common Stock, rights, warrants or options entitling the holders thereof, for a period not exceeding 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 10.4(g)) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 10.4(g)), such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination.

(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case maybe, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, securities, cash or assets (excluding any rights, warrants or options referred to in Section 10.4(b), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 10.4(a)), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the earlier of such distribution or the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 10.4(g)) and the denominator shall be such current market price less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution), on the date of such effectiveness, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day next following the later of (i) the date fixed for the payment of such distribution and (ii) the date 20 days after the notice relating to such distribution is given pursuant to Section 10.6 (such later date of (i) and (ii) being referred to as the “Reference Date”). For purposes of this Section 10.4(d) and Sections 10.4(a) and 10.4(b), any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment is being made pursuant to this Section 10.4(d) that also includes shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (A) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, property, shares of capital stock or securities other than such shares of Common Stock or such rights, warrants or options (making any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 10.4(d)) immediately followed by (B) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights (making any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Sections 10.4(a) or 10.4(b)), except (1) the record date of such dividend or distribution as defined in this Section 10.4(d) shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distributions”, “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Sections 10.4(a) and 10.4(b) and (2) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of this 10.4(a).

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock exclusively in cash in an aggregate amount that, together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.4(e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution), as of the expiration of the tender or exchange offer referred to below, of consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.4(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 10.4(g)) of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date fixed for stockholders entitled to receive

such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of record entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 10.4(g)) on such date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (iii) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price on such date, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for the payment of such distribution.

(f) In case a successful tender or exchange offer, other than an odd lot offer, made by the Company or Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board) at the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) that, together with (i) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board), as of the expiration of the other tender or exchange offer referred to below, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender or exchange offer by the Company or the Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months and in respect of which no Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.4(f) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the preceding 12 months and in respect of which no Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to Section 10.4(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 10.4(g)) of the Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the denominator shall be (i) the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 10.4(g)) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and the numerator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share (determined in accordance with Section 10.4(g)) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares at the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.

(g) For the purpose of any computation under Sections 10.4(b), (d) and (e), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date in question shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question; provided, however, that (i) if the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other

than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) (“Other Event”) occurs on or after the 20th Trading Day prior to the date in question and prior to the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation (the “Current Event”), the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such Other Event, (ii) if the “ex” date for any Other Event occurs after the “ex” date for the Current Event and on or prior to the date in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such Other Event, (iii) if the “ex” date for any Other Event occurs on the “ex” date for the Current Event, one of those events shall be deemed for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this proviso to have an “ex” date occurring prior to the “ex” date for the Other Event, and (iv) if the “ex” date for the Current Event is on or prior to the date in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value on the date in question (as determined in good faith by the Board in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 10.4(d) or (e), whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution) of the portion of the rights, warrants, options, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash or property being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock. For the purpose of any computation under Section 10.4(f), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date in question shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing on or after the latest (the “Commencement Date”) of (i) the date 20 Trading Days before the date in question, (ii) the date of commencement of the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation and (iii) the date of the last amendment, if any, of such tender or exchange offer involving a change in the maximum number of shares for which tenders are sought or a change in the consideration offered, and ending not later than the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time of such tender or exchange offer (or, if such Expiration Time occurs before the close of trading on a Trading Day, not later than the Trading Day during which the Expiration Time occurs); provided, however, that if the “ex” date for any Other Event (other than the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation) occurs on or after the Commencement Date and on or prior to the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such tender or exchange offer.

(h) Issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent below Conversion Price.

(i) If the Company shall at any time or from time to time issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at a price per share of Common Stock (the “New Issue Price”) that is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (treating the price per share of Common Stock, in the case of the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalent, as equal to (x) the sum of the price for such Common Stock Equivalent plus any additional consideration payable (without regard to any antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying such Common Stock Equivalent), other than (A) issuances or sales for which an adjustment is made pursuant to another clause of this Section 10.4 and (B) issuances in connection with an Excluded Transaction, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal the New Issue Price; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced by operation of this Section 10.4(h) to less than $1.00 (as adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar events); provided, further, that in no event shall the Company issue to any Affiliate any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price, except pursuant to an Excluded Transaction.

(ii) Such adjustment shall be made whenever such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued, and shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of an issuance to the stockholders of the Company, as such, to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents and (y) in all other cases, on the date of such issuance; provided, however, that the determination as to whether an adjustment is required to be made pursuant to this Section 10.4(h) shall only be made upon the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, and not upon the issuance of any security into which the Common Stock Equivalents convert, exchange or may be exercised.

(iii) In case at any time any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or any rights or options to purchase any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor, without deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions or discounts paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or any rights or options to purchase any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration, without deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions or discounts paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith, as determined by the Board.

(iv) If any Common Stock Equivalents (or any portions thereof) which shall have given rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.4(h) shall have expired or terminated without the exercise thereof and/or if by reason of the terms of such Common Stock Equivalents there shall have been an increase or increases, with the passage of time or otherwise, in the price payable upon the exercise or conversion thereof, then the Conversion Price or shall be readjusted (but to no greater extent than originally adjusted) in order to (A) eliminate from the computation any additional shares of Common Stock corresponding to such Common Stock Equivalents as shall have expired or terminated, (B) treat the additional shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents as having been issued for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor and (C) treat any of such Common Stock Equivalents which remain outstanding as being subject to exercise or conversion on the basis of such exercise or conversion price as shall be in effect at the time.

(v)

For purposes of this Section 10.4(h):

“Common Stock Equivalent” shall mean any security or obligation which is by its terms convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock or another Common Stock Equivalent, and any option, warrant or other subscription or purchase right with respect to Common Stock.

“Excluded Transaction” means (a) any issuance of shares of restricted stock or options to purchase shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations or similar occurrences) pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Stock Option Plan and (b) any issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (i) in connection with mergers or acquisitions by the Company (including technology or asset acquisitions) that have been approved by the Board, (ii) to commercial banks, lessors and licensors in non-equity financing transactions (excluding issuances to private equity or venture capital firms or any private equity division of any investment bank or commercial bank), (iii) to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act and (iv) upon the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents (as from time to time may be amended) outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

(i) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (h) of this Section 10.4, as it considers to be advisable.

(j) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments, which by reason of this Section 10.4(j) are not required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(k) In the event that the Company distributes assets, debt securities, rights, warrants or options (other than those referred to in Section 10.4(b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Stock, and the fair market value of the portion of assets, debt securities, rights, warrants or options applicable to one

share of Common Stock distributed to holders of Common Stock exceeds the Average Sale Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock, or such Average Sale Price exceeds such fair market value by less than $1.00, then so long as any such assets, debt securities, rights, options or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Security upon conversion, rather than being entitled to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate, will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion, the kind and amount of assets, debt securities, rights, warrants and options such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Note immediately prior to the date of determination of the holders entitled to such distribution.

“Average Sale Price” means the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the shorter of (i) 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination (as defined below) with respect to the rights, options, warrants or distribution in respect of which the Average Sale Price is being calculated, or (ii) the period (x) commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of (a) the issuance of rights, options or warrants or (b) the distribution, in each case, in respect of which the Average Sale Price is being calculated and (y) proceeding through the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination with respect to the rights, options, warrants or distribution in respect of which the Average Sale Price is being calculated, or (iii) the period, if any, (x) commencing on the date next succeeding the Ex-Dividend Time (as defined below) with respect to the next preceding (a) issuance of rights, warrants or options or (b) distribution, in each case, for which an adjustment is required by the provisions of Section 10.4 and (y) proceeding through the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination with respect to the rights, options, warrants, or distribution in respect of which the Average Sale Price is being calculated. If the Ex-Dividend Time (or in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, the effective date with respect thereto) with respect to a dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification to which Section 10.4(a) or (b) applies occurs during the period applicable for calculating “Average Sale Price” pursuant to the definition in the preceding sentence, “Average Sale Price” shall be calculated for such period in a manner determined in good faith by the Board to reflect the impact of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification on the Closing Price of the Common Stock during such period.

“Time of Determination” means the time and date of the earlier of (i) the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights, warrants or options or a distribution, in each case, to which this Section 10.4 applies and (ii) the time (“Ex-Dividend Time”) immediately prior to the commencement of “ex-dividend” trading for such rights, options, warrants or distribution on the New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange or market on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted.

10.5 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate and Conversion Price are adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate and Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10.4 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Notes; and the Company shall forthwith

cause a notice setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and Conversion Price to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address appearing on the register.

10.6

Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require a Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to Section 10.4(e); or

converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such Tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Tax has been paid.

10.8 Cancellation of Converted Notes. All Notes delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Company to be cancelled upon such conversion.

10.9 Provisions in Case of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In the event that the Company shall be a party to any transaction (including any (i) recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock), (ii) any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in a reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (iv) any compulsory share exchange) pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into the right to receive other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby the Holder of each Outstanding Security shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note only into (subject to funds being legally available for such purpose under applicable law at the time of such conversion) the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such transaction. The Company or the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or that acquired such assets or that acquired the Company’s shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, shall expressly assume these obligations.

10.10 Company’s Obligation. All calculations, adjustments, conversions and other determinations under this Section 10 shall be the sole responsibility and obligation of the Company.
