THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS NOTE AND THE
COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR

SECURED CONVERTIBLE TERM NOTE




          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NUMEREX CORP., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay
to LAURUS MASTER FUND, LTD., c/o M&C Corporate Services Limited, P.O. Box 309 GT, Ugland House,
South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Fax: 345-949-8080 (the “Holder”) or
its registered assigns or successors in interest, the sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000),
together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on December 29, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”) if
not sooner paid.




          Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement among the Company and the Holder dated as of the date
hereof (as amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase
Agreement”).




          The following terms shall apply to this Secured Convertible Term Note (this “Note”):




ARTICLE I

CONTRACT RATE AND AMORTIZATION




          1.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 4.8 and 5.10, interest payable on the
outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall accrue at a rate per annum
equal to nine and one half percent (9.50%) (the “Contract Rate”). Interest shall be (i) calculated
on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on February 1,
2007 on the first business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter through and including
the Maturity Date and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.




          1.2 Intentionally Deleted




          1.3 Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the aggregate principal amount
outstanding under this Note at any time (the “Principal Amount”) shall be made by the Company
commencing on July 2, 2007 and on the first business day of each succeeding month thereafter
through and including the Maturity Date (each, an “Amortization Date”). Subject to Article III
below, commencing on the first Amortization Date, the Company shall make monthly payments of
principal to the Holder on each Amortization Date, each such payment in the amount of $238,095
together with any accrued and unpaid interest on such portion of the




 









 







Principal Amount plus any and all other unpaid amounts which are then due and owing under this
Note, the Purchase Agreement and/or any other Related Agreement (collectively, the “Monthly
Amount”). Any outstanding Principal Amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any
and all other unpaid amounts which are then owing by the Company to the Holder under this Note, the
Purchaser Agreement and/or any Related Agreement shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.




ARTICLE II

COMPANY PAYMENT OPTIONS




          2.1 (a) Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock. Subject to the terms
hereof, the Company shall have the sole option to determine whether to satisfy payment of the
Monthly Amount on each Amortization Date either in cash or in shares of the Company’s Class A
common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), or a combination of both. Each month,
ten (10) days prior to an Amortization Date, the Company may deliver to the Holder a written
irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto electing to pay the Monthly
Amount payable on the next Amortization Date in either cash or Common Stock, or a combination of
both (each, a “Repayment Election Notice”) (the date by which such notice is required to be given
being hereinafter referred to as the “Notice Date”). If a Repayment Election Notice is not
delivered to the Holder by the Company by the applicable Notice Date for such Amortization Date,
then the Monthly Amount due on such Amortization Date shall be paid in cash. If the Company elects
to repay all or a portion of the Monthly Amount in shares of Common Stock, the number of such
shares to be issued for such Amortization Date shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the
portion of the Monthly Amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, by (y) the Fixed Conversion
Price (as defined below).




               (b) Monthly Amount Common Stock Payment Guidelines. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if the Company has elected to pay all or a portion of the Monthly Amount
due on such Amortization Date in shares of Common Stock and the closing price of the Common Stock
as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the seven (7) trading days preceding a
Amortization Date was less than 110% of the Fixed Conversion Price, then the Company shall pay the
Monthly Amount in cash instead. Any part of the Monthly Amount due on such Amortization Date that
the Company did not elect to pay in shares of Common Stock shall be paid by the Company in cash on
such Amortization Date. Any part of the Monthly Amount due on such Amortization Date which the
Company elected to pay in shares of Common Stock but which must be paid in cash (because the
closing price of the Common Stock for the seven (7) trading days preceding the applicable
Amortization Date was less than 110% of the Fixed Conversion Price) shall be paid on or prior to
three (3) business days following the applicable Amortization Date.



          2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Company shall not be permitted to repay any part of its obligations to the Holder hereunder in
shares of Common Stock if (i) there fails to exist an effective current Registration Statement (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering resale of the shares of Common Stock to be
issued in connection with such payment, or (ii) an Event of Default hereunder exists and is
continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured prior to such payment
being made or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s
option.





2









 








          2.3 Optional Prepayments in Common Stock. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 3.2 hereof, if
the average closing price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market is greater than 110% of the
Fixed Conversion Price for a period of at least five (5) consecutive trading days, then the Company
may, at its sole option, provide the Holder written notice (a “Stock Prepayment Notice”) requiring
the conversion at the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price of all or a portion of the outstanding
principal, interest and fees outstanding under this Note (subject to compliance with this Section
2.3 and Section 3.2), together with accrued interest on the amount being prepaid, as of the date
set forth in such Stock Prepayment Notice (the “Stock Prepayment Date”). The Stock Prepayment Date
shall be at least seven (7) trading days following the date of the Stock Prepayment Notice. On the
Stock Prepayment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the shares
of Common Stock issued in satisfaction of the principal and interest being prepaid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s right to issue shares of Common Stock in satisfaction
of the Company’ obligations under this Note shall be subject to the limitation that the market
price of the Common Stock issued in connection with any Stock Prepayment Notice shall exceed the
Fixed Conversion Price as of the Stock Prepayment Date and for the seven (7) trading days
immediately preceding the Stock Prepayment Date. If the price of the Common Stock falls below 110%
of the Fixed Conversion Price as of, or during the seven (7) trading day period immediately
preceding the Stock Prepayment Date, then the Stock Prepayment Notice shall be null and void and no
conversion shall be required hereunder.




     The Company shall not be permitted to give the Holder more than one Stock Prepayment Notice
under this Note during any 22-day trading day period, and the amount of principal to be converted
under each such Stock Prepayment Notice pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not exceed the amount of
Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($2,500,000.00).



     Any principal amount of this Note which is prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be
deemed to constitute payments of outstanding principal applying to the principal portion of the
Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in chronological order.



          2.4 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Company will have the option of prepaying this
Note, either in whole or in part, without premium or penalty of any kind or nature (an “Optional
Cash Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
principal amount to be prepaid (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and
all other sums then due, accrued and payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Purchase
Agreement, or any Related Agreement) (each, a “Cash Redemption Amount”). The Company shall deliver
to the Holder a written notice of cash redemption (each, a “Notice of Cash Redemption”) specifying
the date for such Optional Cash Redemption (each, a “Cash Redemption Payment Date”), which date
shall be ten (10) days after the date of the respective Notice of Cash Redemption (each, a “Cash
Redemption Period”). A Notice of Cash Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any
portion of this Note for which the Holder has previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (defined
below) pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions are elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to
Section 3.1 during the Cash Redemption Period. A Cash Redemption Amount shall be




3









 







determined as if such Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to
the date of the respective Notice of Cash Redemption. On a Cash Redemption Payment Date, the
respective Cash Redemption Amount (plus any additional interest and fees accruing on such Cash
Redemption Amount during the Cash Redemption Period) must be irrevocably paid in full in
immediately available funds to the Holder. In the event the Company fail to pay a Cash Redemption
Amount on a Cash Redemption Payment Date, then the respective Cash Redemption Notice shall be null
and void.




          2.5 Mandatory Redemption Upon Failure to Cause an Effective Registration Statement to be
Filed. If on or prior to December 29, 2007, the Borrower shall fail to file and cause to exist
a current effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
covering resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note and the Common Stock Purchase
Warrant, dated as of the date hereof, granted by the Borrower to the Holder, then Holder shall have
the right, upon six (6) month’s prior written notice to the Borrower, to demand repayment in full
of all amounts outstanding under this Note, including, but not limited to, any penalties set forth
in this Article IV and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon.




ARTICLE III

CONVERSION RIGHTS AND FIXED CONVERSION PRICE




          3.1 Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Article III, the Holder shall
have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity Date, or during an Event of
Default (as defined in Article IV), and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2
hereof, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest
and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at the Fixed
Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the initial “Fixed
Conversion Price” means $10.37. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are
herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares.”




          3.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of
this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed
beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised
or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion
analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of
this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates
of any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at
the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the
then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or
entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled
by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed
under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. For purposes of the proviso to the second preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as




4









 








amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such
proviso. The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no
less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company and (y) shall automatically become null
and void (i) following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default (as defined below), or (ii) upon receipt by the Holder of a Notice of Cash
Redemption, except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
the Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and
acquirable by the Holder at a price below $9.46 per share pursuant to the terms of this Note, the
Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, shall not exceed an aggregate of 2,529,934
shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or
other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”),
unless the issuance of Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall
first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the
number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement,
any Related Agreement or otherwise, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that would
then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a conversion pursuant to the terms of
this Note, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, would exceed the Maximum
Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 3.2, the Company shall promptly call a shareholders
meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in
excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.




          3.3 Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects to convert
this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an
executed and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto
(appropriately completed) (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Company and such Notice of Conversion
shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees
that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with
its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount,
accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the
Company within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of
Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall
be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of
Conversion, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of
counsel within two (2) Business Day of the date of the delivery to the Company of the Notice of
Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the
Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the
Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”)
system within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the
“Delivery Date”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the
conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon
such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Company of the
Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the
Conversion Shares, unless the Holder provides the Company written instructions to the contrary.




5









 








          3.4 Late Payments. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the
Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could
result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to
all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or
otherwise, the Company shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late
issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article III upon conversion of
this Note, in the amount equal to $150 per Business Day after the Delivery Date. The Company
shall, jointly and severally, make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.




          3.5 Conversion Mechanics. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest
and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.




          3.6 Adjustment Provisions. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or
other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the period that this
conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:




               (a) Reclassification. If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or
otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class
or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall
thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and
kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after such reclassification or other
change at the sole election of the Holder.



               (b) Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are
subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend
is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company in shares of Common Stock,
the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or
stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case
by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
event.



          3.7 Reservation of Shares. During the period the conversion right exists, the Company
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide
for the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the full conversion of this Note, the Secured
Convertible Term Note and the Warrants. The Company represents that upon issuance, the Conversion
Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company agrees that its
issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents
who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the
necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.




6









 








          3.8 Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted registration rights with respect
to the Conversion Shares as set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement.




          3.9 Issuance of New Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note
containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued
by the Company to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not
have been converted or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article IV of this Note, the Company
shall not pay any costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and
issuance of a new Note.




ARTICLE IV

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND DEFAULT RELATED PROVISIONS




     If an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs and is continuing, the Company’s rights under
Section 2.3 shall immediately cease and be of no further effect until such time as the Event of
Default has been cured, or has been waived by the Holder. Upon the occurrence and continuance of
an Event of Default beyond any applicable grace period, the Holder, at its sole and absolute
discretion, may make all sums of principal, interest and other fees then remaining unpaid hereon
and all other amounts payable hereunder due and payable within five (5) days after written notice
from Holder to the Company (each occurrence being a “Default Notice Period”), provided,
however, that such Default Notice Period shall not apply to Sections 4.1, 4.4 and 4.6
below. In addition, upon acceleration of this Note because of the occurrence of an Event of
Default described in either Section 4.1, Section 4.4 or Section 4.6 below, the amount due and owing
to the Holder shall be one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the outstanding principal amount of
this Note (plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any). If, with respect to any Event of
Default other than a payment default described in Section 4.1 below, within the Default Notice
Period the Borrower cures the Event of Default, the Event of Default will be deemed to no longer
exist and any rights and remedies of Holder pertaining to such Event of Default will be of no
further force or effect.



     The occurrence of any of the following events set forth in Sections 4.1 through 4.8,
inclusive, below is an “Event of Default”:



          4.1 Failure to Pay Principal, Interest or other Fees. The Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (i) fails to pay when due any installment of principal, interest or other fees hereon
in accordance herewith, or (ii) fails to pay when due any amount due under any other promissory
note or other indebtedness issued by Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, in the aggregate for
all such notes and indebtedness, has a then-current principal balance of more than Four Hundred
Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($400,000.00).




          4.2 Breach of Covenant. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries breaches any material
covenant or other term or condition of this Note, the Purchase Agreement or any other Related
Agreement in any material respect and such breach, if subject to cure, continues for a period of
thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof.




7









 








          4.3 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any material representation or warranty
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries made herein, in the Purchase Agreement, or in any Related
Agreement shall have been materially false or misleading when made.




          4.4 Receiver or Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver
or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business; or such a receiver or
trustee shall otherwise be appointed by a person other than the Company or a Subsidiary, and such
appointment by a person other than the Company or a Subsidiary shall not have been dismissed or
withdrawn within 60 days of such appointment.




          4.5 Judgments. Any money judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or
filed against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective property or other
assets for more than $400,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of
ninety (90) days.




          4.6 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or
other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be
instituted by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and, in the case of an involuntary
case or proceeding, such case or proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days following the
commencement thereof.




          4.7 Stop Trade. An SEC stop trade order or Principal Market trading suspension of the
Common Stock shall be in effect for five (5) consecutive days or five (5) days during a period of
ten (10) consecutive days, excluding in all cases a suspension of all trading on a Principal
Market, provided that the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within
30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Principal Market within 60 days
of such notice. The “Principal Market” for the Common Stock shall include the NASD OTC Bulletin
Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange, or New York
Stock Exchange, whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market
for the Common Stock, or any securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common
Stock is then being listed or traded.




          4.8 Default Under Other Agreements. The occurrence and continuance of any Event of
Default under, and as defined in (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May
30, 2006, by and between the Holder and the Borrower (as amended, modified or supplemented from
time to time, the “May 2006 Purchase Agreement”) or (ii) any Related Agreement (as defined in the
May 2006 Purchase Agreement).




          4.9 Payment Grace Period; Default Interest. The Company shall have a three (3)
business day grace period to pay any monetary amounts due under this Note (which such three (3)
business day grace period must expire before an Event of Default related thereto will exist or be
deemed to exist hereunder), the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement, after which grace
period a default interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum above the then applicable interest
rate hereunder shall apply to the monetary amounts due.

               (b) THE COMPANY HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE
COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY
CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE COMPANY, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE HOLDER, ON THE OTHER HAND,

          5.9 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable
under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.




          5.10 Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or
require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges
hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum
rate shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the
Company.

(i) in certain assets of the Company as more fully described in the Master Security Agreement dated
as of the date hereof and (ii) pursuant to the Pledge Agreement dated as of the date hereof. The
obligations of the Company under this Note are guaranteed by certain Subsidiaries of the Company
pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of the date hereof.




          5.12 Construction. Each party acknowledges that its legal counsel participated in the
preparation of this Note and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities
are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this
Note to favor any party against the other.




          5.13 Registered Obligation. This Note is intended to be a registered obligation
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.871-14(c)(1)(i) and the Company (or its agent)
shall register this Note (and thereafter shall maintain such registration) as to both principal and
any stated interest. Notwithstanding any document, instrument or agreement relating to this Note
to the contrary, transfer of this Note (or the right to any payments of principal or stated
interest thereunder) may only be effected by (i) surrender of this Note and either the reissuance
by the Company of this Note to the new holder or the issuance by the Company of a new instrument to
the new holder, or (ii) transfer through a book entry system maintained by the Company (or its
agent), within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.871-14(c)(1)(i)(B).
