If a Forced Conversion Trigger occurs, then, subject to the limitations on conversion contained in Section 7(K)(i), the Company may provide written notice to the Holder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Company Conversion Notice”) (with a copy to the Trustee), electing to convert all or a portion (provided that any such portion converted pursuant to a Company Conversion Notice must be equal to or great than five million ($5,000,000) of Principal Amount of this Note), of Principal Amount of this Note into Conversion Consideration (a “Forced Conversion”) and certifying that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied on the date the Company Conversion Notice was delivered to the Holder; provided that no Forced Conversion will be effected unless (x) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock exceeds one hundred and seventy-five percent (175%) of the Conversion Price and (y) the Equity Conditions are satisfied on each VWAP Trading Day from the date of such Company Conversion Notice until the corresponding Conversion Consideration is delivered. The Conversion Settlement Date with respect to any such Forced Conversion will be deemed to occur on the second (2^nd) Business Day after delivery of the Company Conversion Notice to the Holder (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Common Stock) on which the Common Stock is traded) and the Principal Amount subject to Forced Conversion on such date shall be subject to reduction by any Principal Amount for which the Holder has submitted a Holder Conversion Notice between the time that the Company provided the Company Conversion Notice to the Holder and the completion of such Forced Conversion.

(ii) Effect of Forced Conversion. A Forced Conversion will have the same effect as a conversion of the applicable outstanding Principal Amount of this Note effected at the Holder’s election pursuant to Section 7(A)(i) with a Conversion Date occurring on the Business Day referred to in Section 7(F)(i) (for the avoidance of doubt, without the need for the Holder to deliver a conversion notice); provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to deliver the Conversion Consideration until the Holder has complied, if applicable, with its obligations under Section 7(C)(iii).

(G) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.

(i) Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(J) will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 7(G)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(2) Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) and Section 7(G)(v) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

(3) Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.

(a) Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(v) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(1) or Section 7(G)(i)(2);

(w) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(4);

(x) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 7(G)(v);

(y) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b); and

(z) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(J) will apply,

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by this Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(b) Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(J) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Common Stock) on which the Common Stock is traded).

To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(4) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by the Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(5) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Common stock) on which the Common Stock is traded).

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

(ii) No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1) Where the Holder Participates in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7(G)(i), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(1) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(5)) if the Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being the Holder of this Note, in such transaction or event without having to convert this Note and as if the Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of this Note held by this Holder on such date.

(2) Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 7(G) or Section 7(H). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 7(G), the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;

(b) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;

(c) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, restricted stock, or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(d) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) in connection with the separation of rights under the Company’s stockholder rights plan existing, if any, as of the Issue Date);

(e) repurchases of shares of Common Stock, including structured or derivative transactions, that are not pursuant to a tender offer as contemplated by Section 7(G)(i)(5); or

(f) solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

(g) accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.

(iii) Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:

(1) this Note is to be converted;

(2) the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;

(3) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and

(4) such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Common Stock) on which the Commons Stock is traded).

(iv) Conversion Rate Adjustments where the Converting Holder Participates in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:

(1) a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 7(G)(i);

(2) a Note is to be converted;

(3) the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;

(4) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

(5) such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 7(C)(ii)),

then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(v) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued pursuant to any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Note upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.

(vi) Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) or Section 7(H) to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

(vii) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(viii) Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 7(G), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).

(ix) Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(x) Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holder containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.

(H) Voluntary Adjustments.

(i) Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate on any portion of this Note for any period of time by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; and (ii) such increase is irrevocable during such period. The Company and the Holder agree that any such voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate and any conversion of any portion of the Note based upon any such voluntary adjustment shall not constitute material non-public information with respect to the Company.

(ii) Notice of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(H)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day following such determination, the Company will send notice to the Holder of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.

(J) Effect of Certain Recapitalizations, Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers and Sales.

(i) Generally. If there occurs any:

(1) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

(2) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

(3) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(4) other similar event,

and, in each case, as a result of such occurrence, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities or other property (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, at the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (x) the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 7 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (y) for purposes of Section 7(A), each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (z) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the term “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property. For these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

At or before the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such instruments or agreements that (x) provides for subsequent conversions of this Note in the manner set forth in this Section 7(J); (y) provides for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G) or Section 7(H) in a manner consistent with this Section 7(J); and (z) contains such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 7(J). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such instruments or agreements and such instruments or agreements will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder.

(ii) Notice of Common Stock Change Events. As soon as practicable after learning the anticipated or actual effective date of any Common Stock Change Event, the Company will provide written notice to the Holder of such Common Stock Change Event, including a brief description of such Common Stock Change Event, its anticipated effective date and a brief description of the anticipated change in the conversion right of this Note.

(iii) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 7(J).

(K) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, or otherwise issue shares pursuant to this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion or issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 7(K)(i). For purposes of this Section 7(K)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Note, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire in connection with this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a notice from the Holder related to the conversion of this Note or any issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with this Note at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 7(K)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any Other Holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note or receive shares pursuant to this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(K)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 7(K)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 8. Affirmative and Negative Covenants.

(A) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by this Note, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(B) Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 8(A), the Company will cause to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(i) its corporate existence and the corporate existence of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable; and

(ii) the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect any such license or franchise if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Holder.

(C) Ranking. All payments due under this Note shall rank (i) pari passu with all Other Notes, (ii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the Collateral securing the Notes for so long as the Collateral so secures the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness and (iv) effectively junior to all secured Permitted Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the property subject to Permitted Liens securing such Permitted Indebtedness.

(D) Indebtedness; Amendments to Indebtedness. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to: (a) create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness; (b) prepay any Indebtedness, except for by the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion; or (c) amend or modify any documents or notes evidencing any Indebtedness in any manner which shortens the maturity date or any amortization, redemption or interest payment date thereof or otherwise imposes materially more burdensome terms upon the Company or its Subsidiaries than exist in such Indebtedness prior to such amendment or modification without the prior written consent of Holder. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to incur any Indebtedness that would cause a breach, a Default or an Event of Default under the Notes or prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including without limitation, the payment of interest and principal thereon.

(E) Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

(F)  Investments.

If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.

At the request of the Required Holders at any time the Required Holders have determined in good faith that (i) an Event of Default has occurred or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default but the Company has not timely agreed to such determination in writing, the Company shall hire an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders to investigate as to whether such Event of Default or event or circumstance has occurred (the “Independent Investigator”). If the Independent Investigator determines that such Event of Default or event or circumstance has occurred, the Independent Investigator shall notify the Company of such Event of Default or occurrence of such event or circumstance and the Company shall promptly deliver written notice to the Holder of such Event of Default if such Event of Default has occurred. In connection with such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, during normal business hours and upon signing a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, inspect all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent Investigator may make such copies and inspections thereof as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall furnish the Independent Investigator with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall permit the Independent Investigator to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with, and to make proposals and furnish advice with respect thereto to, any of the Company’s officers, directors, key employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Independent Investigator the finances and affairs of the Company and any Subsidiaries; provided that the Company’s chief financial officer and chief executive officer shall also be invited to attend any discussion with a key employee or the independent public accountants), all at such reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, and as often as may be reasonably requested.

(V) Upon delivery by the Company to the Holder (or receipt by the Company from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such notice delivery date, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the Company immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 8(V) shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(W) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is not a fiduciary or agent of the Company, the Holder will not have any obligations hereunder except those obligations expressly set forth herein (and in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the Holder is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the Note and not as a fiduciary or agent of the Company. The Company agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Holder based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Holder in connection with the Note. The Company acknowledges that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

(X) The Company shall pay when due any and all fees and expenses owed by it under all deposit accounts located in the United States and subject to a Control Agreement entered into in favor of the Collateral Agent.

(A) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the “Successor Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Holder and the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplement to this instrument) all of the Company’s obligations under this Note; and

(B) immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Event of Default will have occurred that has not been waived and no Default will have occurred and be continuing which has not been waived.

At the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Successor Corporation (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the Company in this Note, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its obligations under this Note.

Section 21. Collateral Agent.

(A) Appointment; Authorization. The Holder and the Trustee, together with any successors or assigns thereof, hereby irrevocably appoint, designate and authorize High Trail Special Situations LLC as collateral agent to take such action on their behalf under the provisions of this Note, each Security Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of each Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 21 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and the Company shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Security Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Note, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein or in the Security Documents, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Note, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

(B) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives, or the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Related Parties”). The exculpatory provisions of this Section 21 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. Except as otherwise set forth in the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

(C) Exculpatory Provisions.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Security Documents, and its duties shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default has occurred; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth in the Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Collateral Agent in writing by the Company.

(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Note, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Note, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, or (e) any failure of the Company or any other party to this Note, any Security Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document related to this Note or the Security Documents to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Note, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the hereto or thereto, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

(D) Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(E) Successor Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as the Collateral Agent at any time upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Holder and each Other Holder and the Company. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Note, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor agent. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint a successor Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holder and each Other Holder after consulting with the Holder and each Other Holder. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the term “the Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 21 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, a retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Holder, together with each Other Holder, shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time as the Required Holders shall appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(F) Non-Reliance on the Collateral Agent. The Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties and based on such documents and information it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Note. The Holder also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Note, any Security Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(G) Collateral Matters. The Holder irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document (i) when all Obligations have been paid in full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under this Note and each other agreement, instrument or document related hereto (it being agreed and understood that the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of the Company as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Note and each other agreement, instrument or document related hereto); or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Holder and each Other Holder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, in accordance with the Security Documents to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Collateral Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and setoff the amount of such price against the Obligations. If the Collateral Agent receives the proceeds of Collateral and the Collateral Agent is not at such time the sole holder of the Notes and Other Notes, if any, the Collateral Agent shall deliver such proceeds to the Trustee for application in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Base Indenture.

(H) Reimbursement by Holder and Other Holders. To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 4(g) or 9(k) of the Securities Purchase Agreement to be paid by it to the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Holder hereby agrees, jointly and severally with each Other Holder, to pay to the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party of the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), as the case may be, such unpaid amount.

(I) Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Holder shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Company or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Collateral Agent, or the Collateral Agent enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Collateral Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred and (ii) the Holder agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand its share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Collateral Agent to the extent paid to the Holder.

The Collateral Agent shall make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Collateral Agent’s calculations shall be final and binding on the Company and the Trustee. The Collateral Agent shall provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the Trustee, the Company and the paying agent (if no longer the Company) at the reasonable request of each such recipient, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Collateral Agent’s calculations without independent verification; provided, that any obligations pursuant to this Note or otherwise shall not be contingent upon receipt of such schedule of calculations. The Collateral Agent shall forward its calculations to the Holder upon the request of that Holder at the sole cost and expense of the Company. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculations or determinations, or verifying the Collateral Agent’s calculations or determination, of amounts, determining, or verifying the Collateral Agent’s determination of, whether events requiring or permitting conversions of Notes have occurred, determining, or verifying the Collateral Agent’s determination of, whether any adjustment is required with respect to conversion rights and, if so, how much, or for the delivery of the shares of Common Stock. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the Company’s duties, responsibilities or covenants hereunder.
