Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Term Note

 

 

          1.2 Contract Rate Payments. The Contract Rate shall be calculated on the last
business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than for increases or decreases in the Prime
Rate which shall be calculated and become effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1)
until the Maturity Date and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth herein.

          1.3 Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the aggregate principal amount
outstanding under this Note at any time (the “Principal Amount”) shall be made in cash, jointly and
severally, by the Companies on October 1, 2007 and on the first business day of each succeeding
month thereafter through and including the date immediately preceding the Maturity Date (each, an
“Amortization Date”). Commencing on the first
Amortization Date, the Companies shall make monthly
payments to the Holder on each Amortization Date, each such payment in the amount of Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) together with any accrued and unpaid interest on such portion of the Principal
Amount plus any and all other unpaid amounts which are then owing under this Note, the Security
Agreement and/or any other Ancillary Agreement (collectively, the “Monthly Amount”). Any
outstanding Principal Amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any and all other
unpaid amounts which are then owing by the Companies to the Holder under this Note, the Security
Agreement and/or any other Ancillary Agreement shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

ARTICLE II

FORCED CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION

          2.1 Forced Conversion. On or after the Public Transaction Closing Date, in
the event that (i) the Common Stock is listed or quoted on a Principal Market, (ii) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) the VWAP of the Common Stock on the Principal
Market is equal to or greater than one hundred seventy five percent (175%) of the Fixed Conversion
Price (as defined below) for a period of at least twenty (20) out of the immediately preceding
thirty (30) trading days, then the Parent may, at its sole option, so long as no Event of Default
(as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, provide the Holder written notice (a “Forced
Conversion Notice”) requiring the conversion (the “Forced Conversion”) at the Fixed Conversion
Price of all or a portion of the outstanding principal of this Note (subject to compliance with
Sections 2.2 and 3.2 of this Note and the other terms and conditions of this Note), together with
accrued interest on the amount being prepaid, as of the date set forth in such Forced Conversion
Notice (the “Forced Conversion Date”). The Forced Conversion Date shall be the date immediately
succeeding the date of the Forced Conversion Notice. No later than three (3) Business Days
following the Forced Conversion Date, the Parent shall deliver to the Holder the shares of Common
Stock issued in satisfaction of the principal amount of this Note being converted as set forth in
the Forced Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent’s right to provide a
Forced Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.1 shall be
subject to the limitation that the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any
Forced Conversion Notice shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate dollar trading
volume of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the Forced
Conversion Date (as such volume is reported by

Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Term Note

2

 

Bloomberg L.P.). The Parent shall not be permitted to give the Holder more than one Forced
Conversion Notice under this Note during any thirty (30) trading day period. Any principal amount
of this Note which is prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be deemed to constitute payments
of outstanding principal applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in
chronological order. For the purpose of this Note, “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the
daily volume weighted average sale price of the Common Stock for such date (or, if there is no
trading on that day,the nearest preceding date) on the Principal Market on which the Common Stock
is then listed or quoted for trading as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

          2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Parent shall not be permitted to pay any part of its obligations or the obligations of
any other Company to the Holder hereunder in shares of Common Stock if (i) there fails to exist an
effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering
the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such payment or there
fails to exist an exemption from registration for resale available pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act and in respect of the Common Stock to be issued in connection with such payment or
(ii) an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists and is continuing, unless such Event of
Default is cured within any applicable cure period or otherwise waived in writing by the Holder.

          2.3 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Companies may prepay this Note
(“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen percent
(115%) 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 Security Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding on
the Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Companies 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”). A Notice of Redemption shall not be
effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Parent has provided a Forced
Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 2.1 or the Holder has previously delivered a Notice of
Conversion (as hereinafter defined) or for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to
Section 3.3 during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if the
Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of
Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to
the Holder. In the event the Companies fail to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment
Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.

ARTICLE III

HOLDER’S CONVERSION RIGHTS

          3.1 Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms set forth in this Article III,
the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the
issued and outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully
paid

Amended
and Restated Secured Convertible Term Note

and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price. The shares of Common
Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as, the “Conversion Shares.” For
purposes of this Note, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the initial “Fixed Conversion Price” means
$3.69.

          3.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert, or be forced to convert pursuant to a Forced
Conversion, any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon exercise of which
the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the
ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any
other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations
contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would
result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of
any amount greater than 9.99% of
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such conversion, the
Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common
control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. For purposes of the proviso to the second preceding sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of
such proviso. The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of
no less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company and (y) shall automatically become
null and void (i) following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default (as defined in the Security and Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof
among the Holder, the Company and various subsidiaries of the Company (as amended, modified,
restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”)), or (ii) upon receipt by
the Holder of a Notice of Redemption.

          3.3 Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects to
convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an
executed and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto
(appropriate completed) (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall
provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees that
are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its
Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount,
accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the
Parent within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of
Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Parent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall
be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of
Conversion,
the Parent will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel
within three (3) business day of the date of the delivery to the Parent of the

Amended
and Restated Secured Convertible Term Note

4

 

Notice of Conversion
and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares
to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust
Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three
(3) business days after receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”).
In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege
shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion
shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Parent of the Notice of
Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion
Shares, unless the Holder provides the Parent written instructions to the contrary.

          3.4 Late Payments. The Companies understand that a delay in the delivery of the
Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could
result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to
all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or
otherwise, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late
issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of
this Note, in the amount equal to $100 per business day after the Delivery Date. The Companies
shall, jointly and severally, make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.

          3.5 Conversion Mechanics. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest
and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. In the event of
any conversions of a portion of the outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to this Article III, such
conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of the outstanding Principal Amount applying
to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in chronological order.

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

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

               (b) Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock
are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by

Amended
and Restated Secured Convertible Term Note

5

 

the Parent in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced
in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of
combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

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

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

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

ARTICLE IV

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

          4.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Security
Agreement shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder.

          4.2 Default Interest. Following (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and (ii) written notice by the Holder to the Companies, each Company shall be
jointly and severally obligated to pay additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of
this Note in an amount equal to one percent (1%) per month, and all outstanding Obligations,
including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest at such additional interest rate from
the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived.

          4.3 Default Payment. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Holder, at its option, may elect (after providing written notice to the Companies),
in addition to all rights and remedies of the Holder under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements and all obligations of each Company under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, to require the Companies, jointly and severally, to
make a Default Payment (“Default Payment”). The Default Payment shall be one hundred ten

Amended
and Restated Secured Convertible Term Note

6

 

percent (110%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest,
all other fees then remaining unpaid, and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Default Payment
shall be applied first to any fees due and payable to the Holder pursuant to the Notes and/or the
Ancillary Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on the Notes, the Security Agreement
and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes. The Default Payment shall be due and
payable immediately on the date that the Holder has demanded payment of the Default Payment
pursuant to this Section 4.3.

ARTICLE V

indefeasibly paid in full and irrevocably terminated.

          5.2 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.

          5.3 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the
Holder hereof 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. All rights and
remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
otherwise available.

          5.4 Notices. Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in

assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder in accordance with the requirements of the Security
Agreement. No Company may assign any of its obligations under this Note without the prior written
consent of the Holder, except as permitted in the Security Agreement, any such purported assignment
without such consent being null and void.

          5.7 Cost of Collection. In case of any Event of Default under this Note, the
Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay the Holder the Holder’s reasonable costs of collection,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

          5.8 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial.

               (a) THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF

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

THE HOLDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE
OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE
A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE HOLDER. EACH COMPANY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND
CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND
EACH COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL
JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL

               (c) EACH COMPANY DESIRES THAT ITS DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE

PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN

RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE SECURITY AGREEMENT, ANY
OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

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

          5.10 Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish
or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges

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

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

ARTICLE I

CONTRACT RATE AND AMORTIZATION

          1.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 4.10, interest payable on the
outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall accrue at a rate per annum
equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time (the
“Prime Rate”), plus three percent (3%) (the “Contract Rate”). The Contract Rate shall be increased
or decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate in an amount equal
to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the
change in the Prime Rate. The Contract Rate shall not at any time be less than nine percent (9%).
Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in
arrears, commencing on October 2, 2006, on the first business day of each consecutive calendar
month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date, whether by
acceleration or otherwise.

          1.2 Contract Rate Payments. The Contract Rate shall be calculated on the last
business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than for increases or decreases in the Prime
Rate which shall be calculated and become effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1)
until the Maturity Date and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth herein.

          1.3 Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the aggregate principal amount
outstanding under this Note at any time (the “Principal Amount”) shall be made, jointly and
severally, by the Companies beginning on October 1, 2007 and on the first business day of each
succeeding month thereafter through the date immediately preceding the Maturity Date (each, an
“Amortization Date”). Commencing on the first Amortization Date, the Companies shall make, jointly
and severally, monthly payments to the Holder on each Amortization Date, each such payment in the
amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) together with any accrued

Term Note

 

 

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

ARTICLE II

REDEMPTION

          2.1 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Companies 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 Security
Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding on the Redemption
Payment Date (as defined below). The Companies 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 within seven (7) 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 Companies fail to pay the
Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice
will be null and void.

ARTICLE III

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

          3.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Security
Agreement shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder.

          3.2 Default Interest. Following (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and (ii) written notice by the Holder to the Companies, the Companies shall be
jointly and severally obligated to pay additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of
this Note in an amount equal to one percent (1%) per month, and all outstanding obligations under
this Note, the Security Agreement and each other Ancillary Agreement, including unpaid interest,
shall continue to accrue interest at such additional interest rate from the date of such Event of
Default until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived.

          3.3 Default Payment. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Holder, at its option, may demand (after providing written notice to the Companies)
repayment in full of all obligations and liabilities owing by the Companies to the Holder under
this Note, the Security Agreement and/or any other Ancillary Agreement and/or may elect (after
providing written notice to the Companies), in addition to all rights and remedies of the Holder
under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and all obligations and liabilities of
the Companies under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, to require the Companies,
jointly and severally, to make a Default Payment (“Default Payment”). The Default Payment shall be
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the outstanding principal

Term Note

amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, all other fees then remaining unpaid,
and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Default Payment shall be applied first to any fees
due and payable to the Holder pursuant to this Note, the Security Agreement, and/or the other
Ancillary Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on this Note and then to the
outstanding principal balance of this Note. The Default Payment shall be due and payable
immediately on the date that the Holder has demanded payment of the Default Payment pursuant to
this Section 3.3.
