	  	 Original Principal Amount: U.S.
 $[                    ]


 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Nanogen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
hereby promises to pay to [PORTSIDE GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY FUND] [CAPITAL VENTURES INTERNATIONAL] [ENABLE OPPORTUNITY PARTNERS LP] [PIERCE DIVERSIFIED STRATEGY MASTER FUND LLC, ENA] [ENABLE GROWTH PARTNERS LP] [FORT MASON MASTER, LP] [FORT MASON
PARTNERS, LP] [HIGHBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL LLC] [CASTLERIGG MASTER INVESTMENTS LTD.] or registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set out above as the Original Principal Amount as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to
redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), on any Company Redemption Date with respect to the Company Redemption Amount due on such Company Redemption Date
(each, as defined herein), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”), on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate from the date set out
above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), any Company Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption,
amortization or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”)
completely supersedes and replaces a certain portion of the 6.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2010, with an original issuance date August 27, 2007 issued by the Company to the Holder pursuant to the Indenture (as defined below) (such replaced
portion, the “Replaced Notes”). This Note is one of a series of senior secured convertible notes issued pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Amendment and Exchange Agreement (collectively, the “Notes” and such
Notes, other than this Note, the “Other Notes”; provided, for the avoidance of doubt that the “Notes” do not include the Indenture Notes). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 29. 

(1) PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal,
accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, on such Principal and Interest (the “Maturity Date Payment”). The “Maturity Date” shall be August 27, 2010, as may be extended at the
option of the Holder (i) in the event that, and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) or any event
that shall have occurred and be continuing that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an Event of Default and (ii) through the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of a Change of Control in
the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 5(b)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date, but subject to the rights of the Company in Section 5(c). On 







 
each Company Redemption Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the Company Redemption Price due on such Company Redemption Date in
accordance with Section 8. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, on Principal and
Interest. 
 (2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. 
 (a) Interest on the outstanding Principal amount of this Note shall commence accruing on the
Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and
including, the Maturity Date (each, an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being March 31, 2008. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the Record Date immediately
preceding applicable Interest Date, in shares of Common Stock (“Interest Shares”), so long as (i) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure (unless the Holder has waived such Equity Conditions Failure) and (ii) unless or
until the Required Stockholder Approval (as defined below) has been obtained, the calculation of the applicable Interest Conversion Price does not result in a price that is less than the amount resulting from the Conversion Floor Price (as defined
below); provided, however, that the Company may, at its option as indicated on the Interest Election Notice (as defined below), pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash (“Cash Interest”) or in a combination of Cash
Interest and Interest Shares. The Company shall deliver a written notice (each, an “Interest Election Notice”) to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the tenth (10th) Trading Day prior to the Interest Date (the date such notice is delivered to all of the holders, the “Interest Notice Date”) which notice (i) either
(A) confirms that Interest to be paid on such Interest Date shall be paid entirely in Interest Shares or (B) elects to pay Interest as Cash Interest or a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares and specifies the amount of Interest
that shall be paid as Cash Interest and the amount of Interest, if any, that shall be paid in Interest Shares and (ii) in the case of payment in Interest Shares certifies that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure. If any portion of
Interest for a particular Interest Date shall be paid in Interest Shares, then (1) contemporaneously with the delivery of the Interest Election Notice on the applicable Interest Notice Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in accordance
with Section 2(b), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the amount of Interest payable on the applicable Interest Date in Interest Shares divided by (y) the applicable Initial Interest Conversion Price (the
“Pre-Interest Shares”) and (2) on the applicable Interest Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, in accordance with Section 2(b), any Interest Balance Shares. Interest to be paid on an Interest Notice Date or on an
Interest Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share). If the Equity Conditions are not satisfied as of the Interest Notice Date, then unless the
Company has elected to pay such Interest in cash, the Interest Notice shall indicate that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the Interest shall be paid in cash. If the Equity Conditions were satisfied as of the Interest Notice Date but
the Equity Conditions are no longer satisfied at any time prior to the Interest Date, the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect indicating that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the Interest shall be paid
in cash. 
  

 2 







 (b) When any Interest Shares are to be issued on an Interest Notice Date or an Interest Date, as
applicable, then the Company shall (i) (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and such action is not prohibited by
applicable law or regulation or any applicable policy of DTC, credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Date to the address set forth in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement or to such address as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Date, an unlegended certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the
number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled and (ii) with respect to each Interest Date, pay to the Holder, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Cash Interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to pay Interest in Interest Shares and shall be required to pay all such Interest in cash as Cash Interest if, unless consented to in writing by the Holder, there has been an Equity Conditions Failure. If
an Event of Default or Equity Conditions Failure occurs during the Interest Measuring Period, then on the Interest Date, at the Holder’s option, either (A) the Holder may require the Company to pay the Interest due on the applicable
Interest Date as Cash Interest (including any Interest represented by Pre-Interest Shares) and, in conjunction with receipt of such cash payment, shall return the applicable number of Pre-Interest Shares or (B) the Company shall pay an
additional amount to the Holder as Cash Interest equal to the Interest Balance Amount. 
 (c) Prior to the payment of Interest on an
Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount in accordance with Section 3(b)(i). From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to twelve percent (12.0%). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of
such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including
the date of cure of such Event of Default. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, in addition to Interest to be paid
on the first Interest Date, on the first Interest Date, the Company shall pay in cash all accrued interest and other amounts due and owning under the Replaced Notes up to the Issuance Date to the Holder which amount is equal to $0.6803. 

(3) CONVERSION OF NOTES. This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3. 
 (a) Conversion Right. Subject to
the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The 

  

 3 







 
Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of
Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer taxes and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common
Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of Common Stock to any Person other than the converting Holder or with respect to
any income or similar tax due by the Holder with respect to the Note or such Common Stock. 
 (b) Conversion Rate. The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

 (i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise
with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal and (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal and Interest and (D) the applicable Present
Value of Interest, in connection with (I) the Holder’s exercise of its optional conversion right pursuant to Section 3(c), (II) a Holder Change of Control Redemption pursuant to Section 5(b), or (III) a Company Change of Control
Redemption pursuant to Section 5(c), as applicable. 
 (ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as
defined below) or other date of determination, $0.6803, subject to adjustment as provided herein. 
 (c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 (i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of
Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of
conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such
date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer
Agent”). On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.
If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the 

  

 4 







 
outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not
converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. In the
event of a partial conversion of this Note pursuant hereto, the principal amount converted at the Holder’s option shall be deducted from any of the Company Redemption Amounts relating to the Company Redemption Dates or from the Maturity Date
Payment or from any other amount owing from the Company pursuant hereto as set forth by the Holder in the Conversion Notice. 
 (ii)
Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit
the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such
Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver issue and deliver
such certificate or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common
Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date. 
 (iii) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a
register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation,
the right to receive payments of principal and interest hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its
receipt of a request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by a Holder, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as
the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior
written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion 

  

 5 







 
Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal,
Interest and Late Charges, if any, converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. 

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same
Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a
pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for
conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in
dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 23. 
 (d) Limitations on Conversions. 
 (i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to
convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 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, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes, Indenture Notes or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most
recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing 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 

  

 6 







 
Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the
Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder
of Notes. 
 (ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note any shares of Common Stock, if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which
the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the
event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to
the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of the Notes pursuant to the Amendment and Exchange Agreement
(the “Purchasers”) shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of the Notes, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal
amount of the Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Amendment and Exchange Agreement on the Closing Date (as defined in the Amendment and Exchange Agreement) and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued
to the Purchasers pursuant to the Amendment and Exchange Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such
Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap
Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation,
then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro
rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder. 
 (4) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF
DEFAULT. 
 (a) Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

 (i) the suspension from trading (other than closing of the Principal Market generally) or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on an
Eligible Market for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of twenty (20) Trading Days in any 365-day period; 
  

 7 







 (ii) the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number
of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of
its intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Notes into shares of Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of the Notes; 
 (iii) at any time following the tenth (10th) consecutive Business Day that the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon
a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(d) or otherwise); 
 (iv) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any cash amount of Principal (including, without limitation, any redemption payments), Interest due in cash, Late Charges or any other amounts due in cash when and
as due under this Note or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest and Late Charges when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period
of five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure; 
 (v) the Company shall either (i) fail to pay, when due, or within any
applicable grace period, any payment in respect of any Indebtedness in excess of $250,000, individually or in the aggregate, due to any third party, other than, with respect to unsecured Indebtedness only, payments contested by the Company in good
faith by proper proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with GAAP, or otherwise be in breach or violation of any agreement for monies owed or owing in respect of any
Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $250,000, individually or in the aggregate, which breach or violation permits the other party thereto to declare a default or otherwise accelerate amounts due thereunder, or (ii) suffer to exist any other
circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a default or event of default under any agreement binding the Company, which default or event of default would or is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects of financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, individually or in the aggregate; 
 (vi) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors generally (collectively,
“Bankruptcy Law”), (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official for substantially all of its assets (a “Custodian”), (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become
due; 
 (vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for substantially all of its assets, or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

  

 8 







 (viii) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $500,000 are
rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the
expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $500,000 amount set forth above; 
 (ix) the Company breaches any covenant or other term or condition or any material representation or warranty of any Transaction Document, except, in the
case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition which is curable, and provided that the Company delivers prompt notice of such breach to the Holder, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business
Days; 
 (x) any breach or failure in any respect to comply with Section 8 or Section 14 (other than Sections 14(g) and 14(j)) of
this Note; or 
 (xi) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Indenture Notes or any Other Notes.

 (b) Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall
within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or e-mail and overnight courier (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of
Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require, if such Event of Default is continuing, the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of
Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this
Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (y) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate
with respect to such Conversion Amount in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice and (B) the greater of (1) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Event
of Default, (2) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date immediately after such Event of Default and (3) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date the Holder delivers the Event of Default Redemption Notice (the
“Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, at the Holder’s
option, the principal amount being redeemed shall be deducted from any of the Company Redemption Amounts relating to the applicable Company Redemption Dates or from the Maturity Date Payment or from any other amount owing from the Company pursuant
hereto as set forth by the Holder in the Event of Default Redemption Notice. 

  

 9 







 
The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder’s
damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any
Redemption Premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. 
 (5) RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL. 
 (a) Reaffirmation. If the Company enters into or is a party to a Fundamental Transaction the surviving entity of such Fundamental Transaction (the “Successor Entity”), shall deliver to each of
the holders of the Notes, (i) an affirmation that this Note shall be a continuing obligation of the Successor Entity, and a reaffirmation of the Successor Entity’s obligations under the Transaction Documents following such Fundamental
Transaction and (ii) a confirmation that there shall be issuable upon conversion of the Notes at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, (A) Common Stock or such other shares of publicly traded common stock (or
their equivalent) of the Successor Entity or (B) if the Successor Entity is not a publicly traded entity following such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or
other property) issuable upon the conversion of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the
Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Notes been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, in each case as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note.
Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company
herein. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Notes. 
 (b) Holder Redemption Right. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of
Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile (with confirmation of transmission) and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control
Notice”) which Change of Control Notice shall state whether the Company is exercising its redemption right pursuant to Section 5(c) below and if so, the additional information required pursuant such Section. At any time during the
period beginning on the date of the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (a “Holder Change
of Control Redemption”) all or any portion of this Note at the Change of Control Redemption Price by delivering written notice thereof (“Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Holder
Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem.

 (c) Company Redemption Right.
Notwithstanding Section 5(a) hereof, in the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall have the right to redeem all of the Notes (a “Company Change of Control Redemption”), in whole and not in part, at a price equal to the
Change of Control Redemption Price. The Company shall exercise its right pursuant to this Section 5(c) by delivery of the Change of Control Notice (the “Company Change of Control Redemption Notice”) in writing to each of the
holders of the Notes, which notice shall additionally state (i) that, following the consummation of the Change of Control, the Company shall redeem all of the outstanding Notes on the Company Change of Control Redemption Date (as defined
below), (ii) that the Company shall consummate the Company Change of Control Redemption on the twentieth (20th) day following the
consummation of such Change of Control (the “Company Change of Control Redemption Date”), (iii) the aggregate outstanding Conversion Amount of the Notes subject to redemption from all the holders of the Notes pursuant to this
Section 5(c), and (iv) the Change of Control Redemption Price that is to be paid to each holder of the Notes on the Company Change of Control Redemption Date. The Company Change of Control Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

 (d) Redemptions Under This Section 5. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be
redeemed by the Company in cash at the Change of Control Redemption Price. Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in
connection with a Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be
voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this
Section 5 may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, at the Holder’s option, the principal amount redeemed shall be
deducted from any of the Company Redemption Amounts relating to the applicable Company Redemption Dates or from the Maturity Date Payment or from any other amount owing from the Company pursuant hereto as set forth by the Holder in the Change of
Control Redemption Notice. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the
parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5 is intended by the
parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. 
 (6) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS. 
 (a) Purchase Rights. If at any time the
Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the
Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase 

  

 11 







 
Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note
(without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date
as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. 
 (b) Other
Corporate Events. Without duplication of any other rights or adjustments hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets
with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the
Holder’s option, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event had
the Securities been converted immediately prior to such Corporate Event (without taking into account any restrictions or limitations on the convertibility of the Securities). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and
substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

 (7) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES. 
 (a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date through the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Company issues or
sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to
the New Issuance Price. If and whenever after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
(including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) in a
Dilutive Issuance, then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and
(B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding
immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior


  

 12 







 
to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable: 
 (i) Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or
exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common
Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon
the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

 (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock underlying such Convertible Securities shall be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of
Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of
Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be
made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. 
 (iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any 

  

 13 







 
time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii), if
the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. 
 (iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Black Scholes Value of such Options and (y) the other
securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company, less (II) the Black Scholes Value of such Options. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the stockholders of the
non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as
is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are
unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined, at the Company’s expense, within five
(5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the
Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error. 
 (v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in
Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. 
  


 14 







 (vi) Conversion Floor Price. Until such time as the Company obtains the approval
of its stockholders as required under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market in order to allow the Conversion Price to be less than the Conversion Floor Price (as defined below), including, without limitation, under the rules and
regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated (the “Required Stockholder Approval”), no adjustment pursuant to Sections 7(a), 7(d), 8(d) or 12(a)
shall cause the Conversion Price to be less than $0.6803, as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction (the “Conversion Floor Price”). 
 (b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will
be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. 
 (c) Other Events. If any event
occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity
features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7. 
 (d) Voluntary Decrease By Company. The Company from time to time may
decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the decrease is irrevocable during the period if the Board of Directors determines that such decrease would be in the best interest of the
Company or the Board of Directors deems it advisable to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with any stock or rights dividend or distribution or similar event, and the Company provides 15 days prior notice
of any increase in the Conversion Price. In addition, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.

 (e) De Minimis Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least $0.01 in such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 7(e) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments under
this Section 7. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as applicable. No adjustment need be made for a change in
the par value or no par value of the Company’s Common Stock.

 (8) MANDATORY COMPANY REDEMPTIONS. 
 (a) Monthly and Quarterly Redemptions. 
 (i) On each Monthly Installment Date, the Company shall redeem a Principal amount of this Note equal to the Monthly Installment Amount at a price equal to the Company Redemption Price to be paid in cash on such Monthly Redemption Date,
subject to the provisions of this Section 8. 
 (ii) On each Quarterly Installment Date, the Company shall redeem a Principal amount of
this Note equal to the applicable Catch-up Amount at the Company Redemption Price to be paid in cash on the Quarterly Redemption Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 8. 
 (b) Asset Disposition Redemptions. At any time and from time to time, the Company shall have the right to effect an Asset Disposition that is not
a Permitted Asset Disposition pursuant to the further requirements of this Section 8(b). If the Company intends to effect an Asset Disposition that is not a Permitted Asset Disposition, the Company shall first provide each holder of the Notes
with written notice thereof (which shall be subject to Section 31 hereof) by confirmed facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Notes (the “Asset Disposition Notice” and the date the
notice is delivered to all the holders is referred to as the “Asset Disposition Notice Date”) by the later of ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation thereof or the public announcement thereof which shall state
(A) the amount of the anticipated aggregate net cash proceeds to be received by the Company from the Asset Disposition, (B) the anticipated date on which the Asset Disposition shall occur and (C) confirm that the Company shall use
fifty percent of the net cash proceeds received by the Company from such Asset Disposition (the “Asset Proceeds”) to redeem the Notes. No later than one (1) Business Day following the day on which the Company has received any
of the Asset Proceeds (such following Business Day, the “Asset Disposition Redemption Date”), the Company shall redeem a Principal amount of this Note equal to the resulting product of the Holder Pro Rata Amount and fifty percent
(50%) of such Asset Proceeds (the “Asset Disposition Redemption Amount”) at a price equal to the Company Redemption Price to be paid in cash by wire transfer initiated on the Asset Disposition Redemption Date, subject to the
provisions of this Section 8. Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Amendment Agreement), the Company shall provide such documentation relating to the Asset Disposition hereunder, subject to applicable
confidentiality restrictions. 
 (c) Subsequent Placement Redemptions. At any time and from time to time, the Company shall have the
right to effect a Subsequent Placement pursuant to the further requirements of this Section 8(c). If the Company intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, the Company shall first provide each holder of the Notes with written notice thereof by
confirmed facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Notes (the “Subsequent Placement Notice” and the date the notice is delivered to all the holders is referred to as the
“Subsequent Placement Notice Date”) at least ten (10) Business Days but 

  

 16 







 
not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Subsequent Placement shall occur (the “Subsequent Placement Redemption
Date”) which shall state (A) the amount of the anticipated aggregate gross proceeds (the “Subsequent Placement Proceeds”) to be received by the Company from the Subsequent Placement, (B) the anticipated Subsequent
Placement Redemption Date, and (C) confirm that the Company shall use twenty percent (20%) of the Subsequent Placement Proceeds (the “Excess Proceeds”), to redeem the Notes. On the Business Day following the receipt of
Subsequent Placement Proceeds (a “Subsequent Placement Redemption Date”), the Company shall redeem a Principal amount of this Note equal to the resulting product of the Holder Pro Rata Amount and the Excess Proceeds so received (the
“Subsequent Placement Redemption Amount”) at a price equal to the Company Redemption Price to be paid in cash by wire transfer initiated on the Subsequent Placement Redemption Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section and unless otherwise agreed to by the Holder, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Holder that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or is
not material or shall publicly disclose its intention to effect the Subsequent Placement, in either case in such a manner such that the Holder will not be in possession of material non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Placement Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of
such transaction has been received by the Holder, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Holder shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company. 
 (d) Mechanics of Company Redemption. If the Company is required to make any redemption in accordance with this Section 8, unless otherwise
directed by the Holder pursuant to Section 8(e) hereof, the applicable Company Redemption Amount shall be redeemed by the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder on the applicable Company Redemption Date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, an amount in cash (the “Company Installment Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the Company Redemption Amount. If the Company fails to redeem the Company Redemption Amount on the applicable Company Redemption Date
by payment of the Company Installment Redemption Price on such date, then at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation, a “Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Note), the Holder may
require the Company to convert all or any part of the Company Redemption Amount at a price equal to 75% of the Company Conversion Price. Conversions required by this Section 8(d) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(d), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company Installment Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Company Redemption
Amount (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event the Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Company Redemption Amount prior to the
applicable Company Redemption Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Company Redemption Amounts relating to the applicable Company Redemption Dates as set forth
in the applicable Conversion Notice. 
  

 17 







 (e) Deferred Company Redemption Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8 to
the contrary, the Holder may, at its option and in its sole discretion, deliver a notice to the Company at least two (2) days prior to any anticipated Company Redemption Date electing to have the payment of all or any portion of an Company
Redemption Amount payable on the next Company Redemption Date deferred to the Maturity Date. Payment of any amount deferred to the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 8(e) shall be paid on such date in cash. 
 (f) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company shall make a redemption pursuant to this Section 8 (or similar provisions under the
Other Notes) (a “Company Redemption”), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to the Other Notes in which a Company Redemption is required and the Company shall require redemption of a Principal amount from
the Holder equal to the resulting product of the Holder’s Pro Rata Amount and the aggregate amount of the applicable redemption (unless deferred by a holder pursuant to Section 8(e) above or converted pursuant to Section 8(d) above or
similar provisions under the Other Notes or otherwise waived by a holder of any Note). 
 (g) Redemptions Generally. Any redemption
made pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in accordance with Section 12. No later than one (1) Trading Day following a Company Redemption, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of such Company
Redemption, as applicable, unless the Company determines that such Company Redemption is not material non public information. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 8, the
Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.
Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. 
 (9) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of
this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. 
 (10) RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. 
 (a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each of the Notes equal to 120% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount
of each such Note as of the Issuance Date. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting
the conversion of the Notes, 

  

 18 







 
120% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding (without
regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated
pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the principal amount of the Notes held by each holder on the Issuance Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the
event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any
Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall, except as transferred to a transferee, be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders. 
 (b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of
authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share
Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized
Share Failure, the Company shall call a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy
statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such
proposal. 
 (11) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 
 (12) REDEMPTIONS. 
 (a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default
Redemption Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. If the Holder has submitted a Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with
Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control
and within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. With respect to any Company Change of Control Redemption, the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder on
the Company Change of Control Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Redemption Price to the Holder on the applicable Company Redemption Date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this
Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company 

  

 19 







 
does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid
Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for
which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount,
(y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) to the Holder representing such Conversion Amount and (z) the Conversion Price of this Note or such new Notes shall be adjusted
to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Redemption Notice is voided and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on and including the date on which the
Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on which the Redemption Notice is voided. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall
not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice. 
 (b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment
as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall promptly, but no later than two
(2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on
and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of
the Holder’s Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then
the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the
Company during such seven Business Day period. 
 (13) VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this
Note, except as required by law, including, but not limited to, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and as expressly provided in this Note. 
 (14) COVENANTS. 
 (a) Ranking & Security. All obligations evidenced by this Note
shall constitute senior obligations of the Company and shall (i) rank pari passu with the obligations evidenced by all Other Notes and the Indenture Notes and (ii) be senior in right of payment to all subordinated obligations of the
Company. Additionally, all obligations evidenced by this Note shall pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement be secured by a perfected lien on and security interest in the properties and assets of the Company. 
  

 20 







 (b) Incurrence of Indebtedness. So long as this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not, and
the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness other than (i) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Other Notes, and (ii) Permitted
Indebtedness. 
 (c) Existence of Liens. So long as this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts, intellectual property and contract rights)
owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Liens”) other than Permitted Liens. 
 (d) Intellectual
Property. The Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to encumber or allow any Liens on, any of its copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and like
protections in each work of authorship and derivative work, whether published or unpublished, any patents, patent applications and like protections, including improvements, divisions, continuations, renewals, reissues, extensions, and
continuations-in-part of the same, trademarks, service marks and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any applications therefor, whether registered or not, and the goodwill of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries connected with
and symbolized thereby, know-how, operating manuals, trade secret rights, rights to unpatented inventions, and any claims for damage by way of any past, present, or future infringement of any of the foregoing, other than Permitted Liens. 

(e) Restricted Payments. The Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, redeem,

insurance. The Company and any Subsidiary will also, at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

of affected Collateral or applied to the Notes.

Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being

 (b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal. 
 (c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of
the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 18(d) and in principal amounts of at least $100,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of
such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or

right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be
the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder
will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 (22) FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on
the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any
other right, power or privilege.

connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any

to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to
the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of
the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as
