This Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this "**Note**") is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on one or more Closing

Date(s) (collectively, the "**Notes**" and such other Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued on a Closing Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be a different Closing Date than the Closing Date that occurred on the Issuance Date), the "**Other Notes**"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 33.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)<u>PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL; PREPAYMENT</u>. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing 200% of all outstanding Principal, and accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued, if any. The "**Maturity Date**" shall be [ ]<sup>2</sup>, 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 5(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) or any event shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) 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 6(c)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)<u>INTEREST</u>. No Interest shall accrue hereunder unless and until an Event of Default has occurred. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Interest shall accrue hereunder at a rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum (the "**Default Rate**") and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the month during which an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, as applicable (a "**Default Interest Date**"). Accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, shall also be payable as part of the Conversion Amount upon any redemption or conversion hereunder occurring prior to a Default Interest Date. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured or waived in writing by the Holder (and no other Event of Default then exists, including, without limitation, for the Company's failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Default Interest Date), Interest shall cease to accrue hereunder as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure or waiver; provided that Interest as calculated and unpaid 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 such cure or waiver of such Event of Default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)<u>EXCHANGE OF NOTES</u>.

The Issuer shall not issue any fraction of a share of Issuer Common Stock upon any exchange. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Issuer Common Stock, the Issuer shall round such fraction of a share of Issuer Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Issuer shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Issuer's transfer agent

The number of shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable upon exchange of any Outstanding Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Outstanding Amount by (y) the Exchange / Conversion Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Mechanics of Exchange</u>.

To exchange any Outstanding Amount into shares of Issuer Common Stock on any date (an "**Exchange Date**"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for delivery on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of exchange in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit I</u> (an "**Exchange Notice**") to the Issuer and (B) if required by Section 19(e), but without delaying the Issuer's requirement to deliver shares of Issuer Common Stock on the applicable Issuer Share Delivery Date (as defined below), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Issuer as soon as practicable on or following the applicable Exchange Date on which the Holder submitted an Exchange Notice to the Issuer electing to exchange the full Outstanding Amount represented by this Note (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Note in the case of its loss, theft, destruction or mutilation in compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 19(b)). No ink-original Exchange Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exchange Notice be required. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of delivery of an Exchange Notice, the Issuer shall transmit by electronic mail a confirmation of receipt of such Exchange Notice to the Holder and Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Exchange Notice in accordance with the terms therein. On or before the earlier of (i) the first (1<sup>st</sup>) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case, following the date on which the Holder has delivered an Exchange Notice to the Issuer (a "**Issuer Share Delivery Date**"), the Issuer shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Issuer ("**DTC**") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and either (A) the Exchange Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder or (B) if exchanged at a time when Rule 144 would be available for resale of the Exchange Shares by the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Exchange Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exchange to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (y) if (A) the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or (B) the Exchange Shares are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder and, if exchanged at a time when Rule 144 would not be available for resale of the Exchange Shares by the Holder, to issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Exchange Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exchange. If this Note is physically surrendered for exchange as required by Section 19(e) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Outstanding Amount being exchanged, then the Issuer shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after delivery of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not exchanged. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable upon an exchange of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Issuer Common Stock on the applicable Exchange Date, irrespective of the date such Exchange Shares are credited to the Holder's account with

DTC or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Exchange Shares, as the case may be. The Issuer's obligations to issue and deliver shares of Issuer Common Stock in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the Registration Rights Agreement, after the effective date of the Registration Statement and prior to the Holder's receipt of the notice of an Allowed Delay (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Issuer shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Issuer Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled. While any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall use a transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Issuer's Failure to Timely Exchange</u>. If the Issuer shall fail on or prior to the applicable Issuer Share Delivery Date either (A) to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or if exchanged at a time when the Exchange Shares are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder and when Rule 144 would not be available for resale of the Exchange Shares by the Holder, or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Exchange Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder or are exchanged at a time when Rule 144 would be available for resale of the Exchange Shares by the Holder, for the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exchange of any Outstanding Amount or (B) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares of Issuer Common Stock that are the subject of the Exchange Notice (the "**Unavailable Exchange Shares**") is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Exchange Shares and the Company or the Issuer fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the shares of Issuer Common Stock electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exchange to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the events described in the immediately foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are hereinafter referred as an "**Exchange Failure**"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder or the Collateral Agent (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred under Section 5(a)(iv)(A) and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Issuer, may void its Exchange Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been exchanged pursuant to such Exchange Notice; <u>provided</u> that the voiding of an Exchange Notice shall not affect the Issuer's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the applicable Issuer Share Delivery Date either (A) the Issuer shall fail (I) to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Exchange Shares are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder and are exchanged at a time when Rule 144 would not be available for resale of the Exchange Shares by the Holder, or (II) credit the Holder's balance account with DTC, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer

Program and either (1) the Exchange Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder or (2) are exchanged at a time when Rule 144 would be available for resale of the Exchange Shares by the Holder, for the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exchange of any Outstanding Amount or on any date of the Issuer's obligation to deliver shares of Issuer Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (y) below, and if on or after such Issuer Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Issuer Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable upon such exchange that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Issuer and has not received from the Issuer in connection with such Exchange Failure (a "**Buy-In**"), then, the Issuer shall, within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (x) 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 Issuer Common Stock so purchased (the "**Buy-In Price**"), at which point the Issuer's obligation to issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exchange of the Issuer applicable Outstanding Amount shall terminate, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Issuer Common Stock or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such shares of Issuer 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 Issuer Common Stock, times (B) any trading price of the Issuer Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exchange Date and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (y); provided that, if the Issuer so delivers cash under clause (x) or Issuer Common Stock under clause (y), no Event of Default shall have occurred under Section 5(a)(iv) with respect to any such Exchange Failure. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Issuer Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Issuer Common Stock) upon the exchange of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not incur Indebtedness to pay the Buy-In Price and the Buy-In Price shall not constitute Permitted Indebtedness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Pro Rata Exchange; Disputes</u>. In the event that the Issuer receives an Exchange Notice from the Holder and one or more holder of Other Notes for the same Exchange Date and the Issuer can exchange some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for exchange, the Issuer, subject to Section 3(e), shall exchange from the Holder and each holder of Other Notes electing to have Notes exchanged on such date, a pro rata amount of such holder's portion of the Note and the Other Notes submitted for exchange based on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes submitted for exchange on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note and principal amounts of all Other Notes submitted for exchange on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with an exchange of this Note, the Issuer shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 24.

The Issuer may exercise its right to require exchange under this Section 3(d) by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the Mandatory Exchange Trigger Date a written notice thereof by electronic mail to the Holder, the holders of the Other Notes, the Company and the Transfer Agent (a "**Mandatory Exchange Notice**" and the date the Issuer delivers to the Holder, the holders of Other Notes, the Company and the Transfer Agent such notice is referred to as a "**Mandatory Exchange Notice Date**"). Each Mandatory Exchange Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Mandatory Exchange Notice shall (i) (a) state on what date the Mandatory Exchange Trigger Date has occurred, (b) state the Trading Day on which the applicable Mandatory Exchange shall occur, which Trading Day shall be the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the applicable Mandatory Exchange Notice Date (a "**Mandatory Exchange Date**"), (c) state the aggregate Outstanding Amount of this Note and the aggregate Outstanding Amount (as defined in the Other Notes) of the Notes which the Issuer has elected to be subject to such Mandatory Exchange from the Holder and the holders of the Other Notes pursuant to this Section 3(d) and analogous provisions under the Other Notes and (d) state the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to be issued to the Holder on the Mandatory Exchange Date. On the Mandatory Exchange Date the Issuer shall deliver or shall cause to be delivered to the Holder (1) the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock the Holder is entitled to pursuant to Section 3 (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that to the extent that the Holder will be entitled to receive upon any Mandatory Exchange a number of shares of Issuer Common Stock which would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to such shares of Issuer Common Stock upon a Mandatory Exchange to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Issuer Common Stock as a result of such Mandatory Exchange (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of the shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable to the Holder pursuant to such Mandatory Exchange shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such shares of Issuer Common Stock (and any right to receive shares of Issuer Common Stock under this Section 3(d) to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(d), until the Mandatory Exchange has occurred, the Outstanding Amount subject to the Mandatory Exchange may be exchanged, in whole or in part, by the Holder pursuant to Section 3 and/or converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder pursuant to Section 4. All Outstanding Amounts exchanged by the Holder after the Mandatory Exchange Notice Date shall reduce the Outstanding Amount of this Note required to be exchanged on the Mandatory Exchange Date. If the Issuer elects to cause a Mandatory Exchange pursuant to this Section 3(d), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to the Other Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Exchange Limitations</u>.

If the election is made by the Holder, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer shall not issue any shares of Issuer Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to any shares of Issuer Common Stock

otherwise issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note and any such issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable upon exchange of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exchange of the remaining, nonexchanged portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or nonexchanged portion of any other securities of the Issuer (including, without limitation, any convertible or exchangeable notes or convertible or exchangeable preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion, exchange or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(e)(i). For purposes of this Section 3(e)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion or exchange of the Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock as reflected in (i) the Issuer's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer or (iii) any other written notice by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding (the "**Reported Outstanding Share Number**"). If the Issuer receives an Exchange Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exchange Notice would otherwise cause the Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(e)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder shall notify the Issuer of a reduced number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Exchange Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Issuer shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the exchange, conversion or exercise of securities of the Issuer, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Issuer Common Stock to the Holder upon exchange of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the "**Excess Shares**") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio and any portion of the Outstanding Amount so exchanged shall be reinstated, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Issuer, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of [•]%<sup>3</sup> as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61<sup>st</sup>) day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer, (ii) such decrease may not be effected between a Mandatory Exchange Notice Date and the Mandatory Exchange Date and (iii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the

Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exchange this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exchangeability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(e)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(e)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Principal Market Regulation</u>. The Issuer shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Issuer Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to receive pursuant to the terms of this Note any shares of Issuer Common Stock, to the extent the issuance of such shares of Issuer Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Issuer Common Stock which the Issuer may issue pursuant to the terms of the Notes without breaching the Issuer'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 Issuer obtains the Stockholder Approval for issuances of Issuer Common Stock in excess of such amount. Until the Stockholder Approval is obtained, no Buyer shall be issued in the aggregate, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, shares of Issuer 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 Notes issued to such Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Closing Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Closing Date (with respect to each Buyer, the "**Exchange Cap Allocation**"). In the event that any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Buyer's Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Buyer's Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Notes transferred, 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 exchange all of such holder's Notes into a number of shares of Issuer 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 Issuer 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. In the event that after August 31, 2026, the Issuer is prohibited from issuing any shares of Issuer Common Stock for which an Exchange Notice has been delivered as a result of the operation of this Section 3(e)(ii), the Issuer shall within two (2) Trading Days of the applicable attempted conversion pay cash in exchange for cancellation of the Conversion Amount that is subject to such Conversion Notice, at a price per share of Issuer Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion if this Section 3(e)(ii) were not in effect, equal to the highest Weighted Average Price of the Issuer Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of the applicable Exchange Date and ending on the date the Issuer makes the applicable cash payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)For the avoidance of doubt, the right to convert this Note into Company Common Stock and the right to exchange this Note for shares of Issuer Common Stock are mutually exclusive. Therefore, if the Holder exercises its right to convert this Note into Company Common Stock (whether in whole or in part), the right to exchange this Note into

shares of Issuer Common Stock shall immediately terminate with respect to the Outstanding Amount subject to such conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)<u>CONVERSION OF NOTES</u>. At any time or times after the Issuance Date, but not prior to the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Company Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Conversion Right</u>. At any time or times on or after the Issuance Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Outstanding Amount, as selected by the Holder, into validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c), at the Exchange / Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Company Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Company Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company's transfer agent (the "**Transfer Agent**")), if any, that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Company Common Stock upon conversion of any Outstanding Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Conversion Rate</u>. The number of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Outstanding Amount pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Outstanding Amount by (y) the Exchange / Conversion Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Mechanics of Conversion</u>.

To convert any Outstanding Amount into Company Common Stock on any date (a "**Conversion Date**"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for delivery on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit II</u> (a "**Conversion Notice**") to the Company and (B) if required by Section 19(e), but without delaying the Company's requirement to deliver Company Common Stock on the applicable Company Share Delivery Date (as defined below), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder submitted a Conversion Notice to the Company electing to convert the full Outstanding Amount represented by this Note (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Note in the case of its loss, theft, destruction or mutilation in compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 19(b). No ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice be required. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of delivery of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and Transfer Agent, if any, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms therein. On or before the first (1<sup>st</sup>) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice to the Company (a "**Company Share Delivery Date**"), the Company shall 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 Company Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 19(e) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Outstanding Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two

The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Company's Failure to Timely Convert</u>. If the Company shall fail on or prior to the applicable Company Share Delivery Date to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for the number of Company Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion of any Outstanding Amount (a "**Conversion Failure**"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder or the Collateral Agent (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred under Section 5(a)(iv)(B) and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; <u>provided</u> that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii) or otherwise. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing Company Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes</u>. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder and one or more holder of Other Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can exchange some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from the Holder and each holder of Other Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date, a pro rata amount of such holder's portion of the Note and the Other Notes submitted for conversion based on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note and principal amounts of all Other Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Company Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Company Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 24.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Mandatory Conversion</u>.

Each Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Mandatory Conversion Notice shall (i) (a) state on what date the Mandatory Conversion Trigger Date has occurred, (b) state the Trading Day on which the applicable Mandatory Conversion shall occur, which Trading Day shall be the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (a "**Mandatory Conversion Date**"), (c) state the aggregate Outstanding Amount of this Note and the aggregate Outstanding Amount (as defined in the Other Notes) of the Notes which the Company has elected to be subject to such Mandatory Conversion from the Holder and the holders of the Other Notes pursuant to this Section 4(d) and analogous provisions under the Other Notes and (d) state the number of Company Common Stock to be issued to the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date. On the Mandatory Conversion Date the Company shall deliver or shall cause to be delivered to the Holder (1) the number of Company Common Stock the Holder is entitled to pursuant to Section 4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(d), until the Mandatory Conversion has occurred, the Outstanding Amount subject to the Mandatory Conversion may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder pursuant to Section 4 and/or exchanged, in whole or in part, by the Holder pursuant to Section 3. All Outstanding Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the Outstanding Amount of this Note required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company elects to cause a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 4(d), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to the Other Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)For the avoidance of doubt, the right to exchange this Note for shares of Issuer Common Stock and the right to convert this Note into Company Common Stock are mutually exclusive. Therefore, if the Holder exercises its right to exchange this Note for shares of Issuer Common Stock (whether in whole or in part), the right to convert this Note into Company Common Stock shall immediately terminate with respect to the Outstanding Amount subject to such exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Issuance of Options</u> If the Issuer in any manner grants or sells or enters into a definitive, binding agreement pursuant to which is required to grant or sell, or the issuer (or the Company) publicly announces the issuance or sale of, any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Issuer 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 any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Issuer Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Issuer at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 8(a)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Issuer Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options 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 Issuer with respect to any one share of Issuer 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 less any consideration paid or payable by the Issuer with respect to such one share of Issuer Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exchange / Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Issuer Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Issuer Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Issuance of Convertible Securities</u>. If the Issuer in any manner issues or sells, or enters into a definitive, binding agreement pursuant to which is required to grant or sell or the Issuer (or the Company) publicly announces the issuance or sale of, any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Issuer Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Issuer Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Issuer at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(a)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Issuer Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange or exercise thereof" shall be equal to

 - 19 -

------

the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Issuer with respect to any one share of Issuer Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Issuer with respect to such one share of Issuer 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 Exchange / Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Issuer 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 Exchange / Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(a), no further adjustment of the Exchange / Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion</u>. 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 shares of Issuer Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exchange / Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exchange / Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 8(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Issuer Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exchange / Conversion Price then in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Calculation of Consideration Received</u>. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Issuer, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Issuer less any consideration paid or payable by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Issuer, less (II) the Option Value of such Options. If any shares of Issuer Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration other than cash received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Issuer therefor. If any shares of Issuer Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Issuer will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Issuer will be the Closing Sale Price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt of such publicly traded securities. If any shares of Issuer Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Issuer 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 shares of Issuer Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded

 - 20 -

------

securities will be determined jointly by the Issuer and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "**Valuation Event**"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) Business Day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Issuer and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Issuer or the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any calculation pursuant to this Section 8(a)(iv) would result in a dollar value that is lower than the par value of the Issuer Common Stock, then such dollar value shall be deemed to equal the par value of the Issuer Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Record Date</u>. If the Issuer takes a record of the holders of shares of Issuer Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Issuer Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Issuer Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Issuer 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)<u>No Readjustments</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Exchange / Conversion Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 8(a) and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur, is not consummated, is unwound or is cancelled after the facts for any reason whatsoever, in no event shall the Exchange / Conversion Price be readjusted to the Exchange / Conversion Price that would have been in effect if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred or been consummated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Adjustment of Exchange / Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Issuer Common Stock</u>. If the Issuer 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 Issuer Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exchange / Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Issuer 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 Issuer Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exchange / Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Voluntary Adjustment by Issuer</u>. The Issuer may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Exchange / Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9)<u>NONCIRCUMVENTION</u>. Each of the Company and the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its organizational documents 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Issuer (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Issuer Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Exchange / Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Issuer Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10)<u>RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Reservation</u>. From and after the Issuance Date, the Issuer shall reserve a number of authorized and otherwise unreserved shares of Issuer Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to issue shares of Issuer Common Stock upon exchange of this Note and the Other Notes equal to at least the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes equal to not less than 150% of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock that the Holder and the holders of the Other Notes would be entitled to receive upon an exchange of the full Outstanding Amount of this Note and the Other Notes (without regard to any limitations on exchange set forth in Section 3(e) and analogous provisions set forth in the Other Notes) (the "**Required Reserve Amount**"). So long as any of this Note and the Other Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of the Issuer's authorized and unissued Issuer Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exchange of this Note and the Other Notes, the Required Reserve Amount necessary to effect the exchange of all of the Notes then outstanding; <u>provided</u>, that at no time shall the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock so reserved be less than the Required Reserve Amount. The initial number of shares of Issuer Common Stock reserved for exchanges of this Note and the Other Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holder and the holders of the Other Notes based on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes held by each Buyer at the Initial Closing Date (the "**Authorized Share Allocation**"). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Note or any of such holder's Other Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder's Authorized Share Allocation with respect to the portion of the Notes being transferred. Any shares of Issuer Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the Holder, the remaining holders of Other Notes, pro rata based on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes then held by such holders without regard to any limitations on exchanges set forth herein or therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Insufficient Authorized Shares</u>. If at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Issuer does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Issuer Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exchange of the Notes at least a number of shares of Issuer Common Stock equal to the applicable Required Reserve Amount (an "**Authorized Share Failure**"), then the Issuer shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Issuer's authorized shares of Issuer Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Issuer to reserve the applicable 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 Issuer shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Issuer Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Issuer shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Issuer Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Issuer is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Issuer Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Issuer Common Stock, the Issuer may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and

submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. If, upon any exchange of this Note, the Issuer does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of such exchange, then unless the Holder elects to rescind such attempted exchange, the Holder may require the Issuer to pay to the Holder within two (2) Trading Days of the applicable attempted exchange, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock that the Issuer is unable to deliver pursuant to this Section 10, and the greater of (x) the Closing Sale Price of the Issuer Common Stock and (y) the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Issuer Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Days, in each case, immediately preceding the applicable attempted exchange (or if any such date is not a Trading Day, the last Trading Day prior to such date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11)<u>REDEMPTIONS</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Mechanics</u>. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within two (2) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Event of Default Redemption Notice; provided that upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, the Company shall deliver the applicable Bankruptcy Event of Default Redemption Price in accordance with Section 5(c) (as applicable, the "**Event of Default Redemption Date**"). If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6(c), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder (i) concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and (ii) within two (2) Business Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (such date, the "**Change of Control Redemption Date**"). The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the holder in writing to the Company on the applicable due date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Outstanding Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed and any accrued Interest on such Principal which shall be calculated as if no Redemption Notice has been delivered. In the event that the Company does not pay a 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 Outstanding Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company's receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Outstanding Amount and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) to the Holder representing such Outstanding Amount to be redeemed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Redemption by Other Holders</u>. 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 5(b) or Section 6(c) or pursuant to corresponding provisions set forth in the Other Notes (each, an "**Other Redemption Notice**"), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail 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 the Holder and each holder of the Other Notes based on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period. The Holder shall have the right to determine whether this Note or any Other Note held by the Holder is redeemed first.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Insufficient Assets</u>. If upon a Redemption Date, the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price, the Company shall (i) take all appropriate action reasonably within its means to maximize the assets available for paying the applicable Redemption Price, (ii) redeem out of all such assets available therefor on the applicable Redemption Date the maximum possible portion of the applicable Redemption Price that it can redeem on such date, pro rata among the Holder and the holders of the Other Notes to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes outstanding on the applicable Redemption Date and (iii) following the applicable Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the Company become available to pay the balance of the applicable Redemption Price of this Note and the Other Notes, the Company shall use such assets, at the end of the then current fiscal quarter, to pay the balance of such Redemption Price of this Note and the Other Notes, or such portion thereof for which assets are then available, on the basis set forth above at the applicable Redemption Price, and such assets will not be used prior to the end of such fiscal quarter for any other purpose. Interest on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes that have not been redeemed shall continue to accrue until such time as the Company redeems this Note and the Other Notes. The Company shall pay to the Holder the applicable Redemption Price without regard to the legal availability of funds unless expressly prohibited by applicable law or unless the payment of the applicable Redemption Price would reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to the directors of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(12)<u>VOTING RIGHTS</u>. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law and as expressly provided in this Note.

This Note and the Other Notes are guaranteed to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Guarantee (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

This Note and the Other Notes are secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Security Documents. All payments due under this Note (a) shall rank *pari passu* with all Other Notes and (b) shall be senior to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(15)<u>NEGATIVE COVENANTS</u>. Until all of the Notes have been exchanged, converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in full in accordance with their terms, neither the Company nor the Issuer shall, and none of the Company and the Issuer shall permit its respective Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, directly or indirectly:

If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this 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 19(d) and subject to Section 19(e)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 19(e) following exchange, conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note</u>. 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 (but without any obligation to post a surety or other bond) 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 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations</u>. 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 19(d)) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Issuance of New Notes</u>. Whenever the 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 in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 19(a) or Section 19(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, from the Issuance Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Registration; Book-Entry</u>. 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 amounts of the Notes (and stated interest thereon) held by such holders (the "**Registered Notes**"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes

 - 27 -

------

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, if any, hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment, transfer or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the 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 19, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered Note within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 19(e), the Holder may assign any Note or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of the Holder or a Related Fund of the Holder without delivering a request to assign or sell the Note to the Company and the recordation of such assignment, transfer or sale in the Register (a "**Related Party Assignment**"); <u>provided</u>, that (x) the Company may continue to deal solely with such assigning or selling Holder unless and until the Holder has delivered a request to assign or sell the Note or portion thereof to the Company for recordation in the Register; (y) the failure of such assigning or selling Holder to deliver a request to assign, transfer or sell the Note or portion thereof to the Company shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment, transfer or sale and (z) such assigning or selling Holder shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register (the "**Related Party Register**") comparable to the Register on behalf of the Company, and any such assignment, transfer or sale shall be effective upon recordation of such assignment, transfer or sale in the Related Party Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exchange or 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 Outstanding Amount represented by this Note is being exchanged and/or converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in an Exchange Notice or Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, and Interest, if any, exchanged, converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such exchanges, conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) 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 exchange or conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Principal and Interest exchanged, converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such exchanges, conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(20)<u>REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF</u>. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's or Collateral Agent's right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company or the Issuer to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder or the Collateral Agent at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder's rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. Each of the

 - 28 -

Company and the Issuer covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exchange, conversion, redemption 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). Each of the Company and the Issuer 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. Each of the Company and the Issuer 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(21)<u>PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(22)<u>CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS</u>. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company, the Issuer and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(23)<u>FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(24)<u>DISPUTE RESOLUTION</u>. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price or the Weighted Average Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Exchange / Conversion Price or any Redemption Price, the Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable, shall pay the applicable Redemption Price that is not disputed or shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock that is not disputed, as applicable, and the Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable, submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via electronic mail within one (1) Business Day of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Exchange Notice, Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable, are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable, shall, within one (1) Business Day submit via electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price or the Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Holder and approved by the Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable,, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exchange / Conversion Price or any Redemption Price to an independent, outside accountant, selected by the Holder and approved by the Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable,, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable,, at the Company's or the Issuer, as applicable, expense, shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and/or the Issuer, as applicable, and the

Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(26)<u>CANCELLATION</u>. After all Principal, any accrued Interest and any other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been paid in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

To the extent permitted by law, each of the Company and the Issuer hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(28)<u>GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL</u>.

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 possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

Upon delivery by the Company or the Issuer to the Holder (or receipt by the Company or the Issuer from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless each of the Company and the Issuer has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company, the Issuer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the Issuer shall contemporaneously with any such delivery (or on or prior to 8:30 a.m., New York city time on the Business Day following a notice from the Holder) publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise.
