The obligations of the Company hereunder are secured by that certain Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Lender and Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) (the “Security Agreement”).


 


This Note is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Lender.  The Holder is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and shall be entitled to certain rights and privileges set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.


 


The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:


 


1. Loan.  The Holder hereby loans to the Company on the date hereof the Principal Sum.







2. Payments; Maturity Date.  All unpaid principal, together with any accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur (the “Maturity Date”) of (i) October 5, 2012, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), or (iii) the “Maturity Date,” as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, of the Corporation’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  All obligations payable under this Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States.


 




  





  











  






 


3. Prepayment.  This Note may be prepaid as a whole or in part at any time at the election of the Company.  Any such prepayment amount shall be applied first to the payment of expenses due under this Note, second to interest accrued on the portion of this Note so prepaid and third, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and accrued interest, to the payment of principal of this Note.


 


4. Change in Control.  If the Company enters into a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in Section 8.7 of the Purchase Agreement) prior to the Maturity Date, then the Company shall provide 10 days prior written notice of such Change of Control Transaction to the Holder of this Note.  Upon receipt of any such notice of a Change of Control Transaction, the Holder of this Note shall have the option to demand payment of the entire then outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts payable hereunder, which election shall be evidenced by a written notice given to the Company within 10 days of such Holder receiving notice of any such Change of Control Transaction.  Failure by Holder to exercise its option to accelerate upon any Change of Control Transaction shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise such option subsequently, either with respect to that Change of Control Transaction or subsequent Change of Control Transactions.


 


5. Event of Default; Rights of Holder Upon Default.  An Event of Default shall occur or exist hereunder as provided in Article IX of the Purchase Agreement.  Upon the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Holder may 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, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Holder may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to it hereunder, under the Security Agreement or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.


 


6. Secured Obligations.  In order to induce the Lender to loan to the Company the Principal Amount of this Note, the Company has executed and delivered to Lender the Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has granted to the Lender as security and collateral for the payment and performance of its obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of the personal property and assets of the Company, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and all as more specifically described, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the Security Agreement, which security interest is pari passu with the security interests granted by the Company to Vicis pursuant to the Security Agreement.


 


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