    CONTRACT
RATE AND AMORTIZATION

     

    1.1 Contract
Rate.  Subject to Sections 2.2 and 3.9, interest payable on the
outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall
accrue at a rate per annum equal to twenty percent (20%) (the “Contract
Rate”).  All interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a
360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on March 1, 2009,
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 (each an “Interest Payment
Date”).  Through any Interest Payment Date, interest on the
Principal Amount at the rate of fifteen percent (15.0%) per annum that shall
have accrued and shall be unpaid as of such Interest Payment Date shall be paid
in cash on such Interest Payment Date.  Through any Interest Payment
Date, interest on the Principal Amount at the rate of five percent (5.0%) per
annum that shall have accrued  and shall be unpaid as of such Interest
Payment Date (for any Interest Payment Date, a “PIK Amount”) shall be paid on
such Interest Payment Date by the addition of such PIK Amount to the Principal
Amount.  At the option of the Holder, the increased portion of the
Principal Amount shall be evidenced by a note (a “PIK Note”) in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder; provided, however, that such
PIK Note shall not be necessary to evidence such portion of the Principal Amount
nor shall the absence of such PIK Note relieve the Company of its obligation to
pay such portion of the Principal Amount of the Holder.

     

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    1.2 Principal
Payments.  The Principal Amount (including PIK Amounts)
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
Purchase Agreement and/or any other Related Agreement shall be due and payable
on the Maturity Date.

     

    1.3 Optional
Redemption.  The Company may prepay this Note (“Optional Redemption”) by
paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
Principal Amount outstanding at such time together with accrued but unpaid
interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the
Holder arising under this Note, the Purchase Agreement or any other Related
Agreement (the “Redemption
Amount”) outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined
below).  The Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of
redemption (the “Notice of
Redemption”) specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”),
which date shall be ten (10) business days after the date of the Notice of
Redemption (the “Redemption
Period”).  On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption
Amount must be paid in good funds to the Holder.  In the event the
Company fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set
forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.  If
any Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in addition to this Note,
are outstanding (collectively, the “Outstanding Notes”) and the
Company pursuant to this Section 1.3 elects to make an Optional Redemption, then
the Company shall take the same action with respect to all Outstanding Notes and
make such payments to all holders of Outstanding Notes on a pro rata basis based
upon the Redemption Amount of each Outstanding Note.
