The Company has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns property or transacts business and where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or the business, financial condition, properties, operations or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the this Agreement, and the Notes (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) in all material respects (“Material Adverse Effect”), and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification.

To the best of the Investor’s knowledge, no person has been authorized by the Company to provide any representation that is inconsistent with or in addition to those contained herein or in the SEC Reports, and the Investor acknowledges that it has not received or relied on any such representations.

(b)  Transfer of Securities. The Investor agrees that it will not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Notes or the Conversion Shares (a “Disposition”) other than Dispositions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

After examination of the SEC Reports and other information available, Investor is fully aware of the business prospects, financial condition, risks associated with investment and the operating history relating to the Company, and therefore in subscribing for the purchase of the Notes, Investor is not relying upon any information other than information contained in the SEC Reports. The Investor acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other Investor, and that it is not acting in concert with any other Investor in making its purchase of the Notes hereunder.

4. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note and the other Transaction Documents:

The Company shall fail to pay (i) when due any principal, or interest payment or other sum on the due date hereunder or (ii) any other payment required under the terms of this Note or any other Transaction Document on the date due and such failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after the due date;

 

(b) Non-Performance of Affirmative Covenants.

5. Rights of Investor upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 4(c) or 4(d)) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, a default interest rate of fifteen percent (15%) will accrue on any overdue Obligations.   The holders of a Requisite Percentage may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 4(c) and 4(d), immediately and without notice, all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default and subject to the consent of the Agent, Investor may exercise any other right power or remedy granted to it by the Transaction Documents or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

 

6. Conversion.

 

(a) Optional Conversion. At any time on or prior to the Maturity Date each Investor will have the option to convert all or a portion of the entire principal amount of the Notes outstanding into Common Stock immediately upon the Investor’s request; provided, however, that if, at the time of any particular conversion, the Company does not have the number of authorized shares of Common Stock sufficient to allow for such conversion, the Investors may only convert that portion of their Notes outstanding for which the Company has a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock. To the extent multiple Investors, under the Note Purchase Agreement, the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), or both, request conversion of their Notes on the same date, any limitations on conversion shall be applied on a pro rata basis. In such case, the Investors may request, in writing, that the Company call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company specifically for the purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to cover the remaining portion of the Notes outstanding, as well as the maximum issuances contemplated pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Compensation Plan, within 90 calendar days after the Company’s receipt of the Investors’ written request. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall use its best efforts to increase its number of authorized shares so as to allow for the full conversion of any outstanding Notes on the earlier of: (1) promptly after the date on which a request for conversion, for which there are not sufficient shares available to effect such conversion, is received by the Company, or (2) the time of the next shareholder meeting. The number of shares of Common Stock that this Note may be converted into shall be determined by dividing the principal amount then outstanding by the Conversion Price at the time of conversion. If the Investor elects to convert this Note on demand, it shall provide the Company with written notice of its election at least one (1) day prior to the date selected for conversion, by submission of the notice of conversion attached as Exhibit A hereto. Upon conversion, the Investor shall deliver to the Company the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note). However, upon such conversion of this Note, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not the Note is delivered for cancellation as set forth in the preceding sentence. If there shall occur a Change of Control, the Company shall give written notice to the Investor at least five (5) days prior to any closing thereof and the Investor’s election to convert this Note shall be conditional upon the consummation thereof.

 

(b) Mechanics of Optional Conversion. As soon as practicable following surrender by the Investor of the original of this Note, the Company shall issue and deliver to Investor a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock into which the Note has been converted (bearing such legends as may be required or advisable in the opinion of counsel to the Company). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date selected for the conversion and the Investor shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on such date.

 

(c) Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of any amounts specified in this Section 6(c), the Company shall be released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

 

7. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 9 and 10 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and Investor shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

8. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of a Requisite Percentage.

 

9. Transfer of this Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or securities into which such Note may be converted, Investor will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with (unless waived by the Company) a written opinion of Investor’s counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Investor that Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 9 that the opinion of counsel for Investor, or other evidence, is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify Investor promptly after such determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Note shall be registered upon registration books maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company. Prior to presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the registered holder hereof as the owner and holder of this Note for the purpose of receiving all payments of principal and interest hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note shall be overdue and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, no opinion of counsel shall be required with respect to any transfer by an Investor to its officers, directors, partners, members or other affiliates.

 

10. Assignment by the Company. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the holders of a Requisite Percentage.

 

11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered to each party at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, or at such other address or facsimile number as the Company shall have furnished to Investor in writing. All such notices and communications will be deemed effectively given the earlier of (i) when received, (ii) when delivered personally, (iii) one business day after being delivered by facsimile (with receipt of appropriate confirmation), (iv) one business day after being deposited with an overnight courier service of recognized standing or (v) two days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, first class with postage prepaid.

 

12. Pari Passu Notes. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such Notes.

 

13. Usury. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.

 

14. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Investor as provided herein and in the Note Purchase Agreement and in any other documents governing or securing repayment hereof shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together, at the sole discretion of Investor to the extent provided herein and in the Note Purchase Agreement and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. No act or omission of the Investor, including specifically, but without limitation, any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be effective as a waiver of any right of the Investor hereunder, unless set forth in a written document executed by the Investor, and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to any subsequent event. All notices, waivers, releases and/or consents by an Investor shall be directed to the Company only through the Agent.

 

15. No Rights of a Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Investor or any other Person the right to vote or consent or to receive notice as an stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company prior to the time that this Note is converted pursuant to Section 6.

 

16. Governing Law. This Note and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Delaware, or of any other state.

The Company has caused this Note to be issued as of the date first written above.
